SRI International prepared this overview report on biomass derived fuels likely to achieve future market penetration and commercialization for the DOE, Solar Energy Division, Fuels From Biomass System Branch. Fifteen feedstock-to-product routes were studied in detail, and economic data were summarized for 53 missions. Using SRI's market penetration model and assuming base case feedstock availability (without federal incentives), it was determined that seven of the 53 missions studied penetrate the market in 1985, 15 missions penetrate in 2000, and 15 penetrate in 2020, producing about 0.7, 3.5, and 5.4 quadrillion Btu of useful fuel products, respectively, in each of the years.
