Woody Feedstock 2018 State of Technology Report
The U.S. Department of Energy promotes production of advanced liquid transportation fuels from lignocellulosic biomass by funding fundamental and applied research that advances the state of technology (SOT). As part of its involvement with this overall mission, Idaho National Laboratory completes annual SOT reports for biomass feedstock logistics. The purpose of the SOTs are to provide the status of feedstock supply system technology development for biomass to biofuels, based on actual data and experimental results relative to technical targets and cost goals from specific design cases. The 2018 Woody Feedstock SOT has been separated into three individual thermochemical conversion pathways that utilize woody feedstocks: indirect liquefaction (IDL), catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP), and algal-blend hydrothermal liquefaction (AHTL). The 2018 delivered cost for the feedstocks were found to be $${$$$}$$63.76/dry ton, $${$$$}$$87.82/dry ton and $${$$$}$$70.31/dry ton, respectively (2016$${$$$}$$). In addition to the SOT analyses, projections for each pathway have been made for the year 2022. In 2022, the feedstock costs for IDL and AHTL are estimated to remain constant over the period, while the feedstock cost for CFP is projected to be reduced to $${$$$}$$70.31/dry ton due to advancements in air classification and leaching, that will allow forest residue to be sufficiently cleaned to match or exceed the quality of clean pine.
