Integrated Biorefinery Analysis (NBC) (WBS 5.4)
In the MYTP – not funded by the program for FY04.
Project Overview: This project is aimed at maximizing the benefit of the integrated biorefinery
projects to OBP and the biomass community as whole. By developing ways to show quantified
progress to project goals and to help partners effectively share non-proprietary technical
advances; the learning curve for biomass utilization can be reduced. The resource allocation to
this task will change as the number of projects or funding in integrated biorefinery platform
changes. Specific activities include:
Understanding the different types of methods and levels of rigor suitable for quantifying
progress in the various types of integrated biorefinery projects.
Developing working relationships with members in the projects and at GO to develop routes
for information dissemination.
Selecting a method or set of methods to use and integrating it into the project structures in a
way that is easy, efficient and useful to the project and OBP.
Project Participants: NREL
Objective: Develop methods for integrated biorefinery project partners to quantify their progress
toward stated goals for DOE and provide a conduit for sharing of non-proprietary information
that can benefit biomass utilization efforts as whole.
Stated Benefits: Provide metrics and methods for evaluating and reporting on the technical,
economic, and environmental aspects of integrated biorefinery projects.
Barriers Addressed: Provides measures of success for process integration and identification and
documentation of pioneer technology risks.
