3. Program Goals Develop biorefinery-related technologies to the point that they are cost and performance competitive and are used by the nation’s transportation, energy, chemical, and power industries to meet their market objectives 2005: Demonstrate an integrated process for fuels production from biomass 2007: Complete technology development necessary to enable start-up demonstration of a biorefinery producing fuels, chemicals, and power 2010: Help U.S. industry to establish the first large-scale integrated biorefinery based on agricultural residues
4. Strategy: Remove Technical Barriers Thermo-Chemical Platform Sugar Platform Biomass CO, H 2 , Bio-oils Sugar Feedstocks & Lignin Residues Advanced Biomass Process R&D Technology Validation and Systems Integration “The Integrated Biorefinery” Mixed Sugars Syngas, Pyrolysis-oils Fuels, Chemicals, Materials, Heat & Power
