Performance in the study is measured by such metrics as: (1) required selling price of the fuel; (2) crude oil price when the process will become economically viable; (3) the Well-to-Wheels (WTW) life cycle GHG emissions profile of the diesel fuel; and (4) the water usage associated with the facility.

The simulations assume technological progress in the conversion technologies, which results in average biomass conversion yields of over 95 gallons of ethanol per dry ton of biomass by 2030. Conversion technologies are linked to feedstocks. In the study, conversion technologies are linked with specific feedstocks.

One opportunity to reduce the cost of biofuels is to reduce the cost of bioenergy feedstock, which constitutes a large portion of operating costs, and increase the conversion efficiency from biomass to fuels. Currently, no commercially viable biorefineries exist for converting cellulosic biomass to fuel.

In a report comparing advances in combustion engines, biofuels, electrification and other technologies, Accenture warns that the commercial viability of those disruptive technologies will be delayed unless regulators more proactively support the transformation of science into applied technologies. Waste-to-fuel. Revolutionary.

Consequently, first and second generation bioproduct manufacturing processes are economically challenged, particularly in light of recent low oil prices. One way to mitigate high feedstock cost is to maximize conversion into the bioproduct of interest. Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D. Carlson, Carrissa A. Papoutsakis & Bryan P.

a company commercializing a cellulosic ethanol production process, is co-author of five of the eight papers in the special issue. forest conversion) resulting from land-use considerations. Require modest volumes of process water. Achieve production costs consistent with gasoline when oil prices are at about $30 a barrel.

A commercially viable OCM process—which has been sought for some 30 years— would decouple the production of mainstream chemicals and fuels from crude oil and its current price instabilities, along with reducing energy consumed for processing. ” —Alex Tkachenko. in a 1997 paper in Science.
