A business case study was developed for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 to explore the technical and economic feasibility of converting lake-harvested algal bloom biomass (ABB) into biofuel via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). The case study includes reporting on the experimental demonstration of converting the algal feedstock to HTL biocrude. Using the experimental data, a preliminary techno-economic assessment (TEA) of a commercial-scale facility was completed to determine the economic feasibility of the process.
