Candidate biomass materials for use in the experimental analysis portions of the project have been identified. Standard procedures are being developed for analyzing biomass and biomass conversion products from the TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer) runs. Equipment has been ordered for making modifications on the TGA's and Process Development Units. In addition, a linear programming problem involving three biomass feedstocks for production of methanol used in three market sectors has been formulated. The example problem was hand-solved and is being used as a model to develop a computer package for system optimization.
