EISA Renewable Fuel Standard Biofuels Production Targets (Billions of Gallons)
Mandated Volumes in 2022
• Advanced Biofuels (50 percent or more GHG Reduction) Biobased Diesel = 1 BGY Other Advanced = 4 BGY Cellulosic = 16 BGY • Conventional Biofuels (20 percent or more GHG Reduction) Starched Based = 15 BGY (Cap)
EISA defines Advanced Biofuel as “renewable fuel, other than ethanol derived from corn starch, that has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions…that are at least 50 percent less than baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.” This includes biomass-based diesel, cellulosic biofuels, and other advanced fuels, including those derived from algae.

Biomass Program Mission, Vision, and Goals
A viable, sustainable domestic biomass industry that produces renewable biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower:
• Creates economic and employment opportunities across the nation • Enhances U.S. energy security • Reduces our dependence on oil • Provides environmental benefits, including reduced GHG emissions
Develop and transform our renewable biomass resources into commercially viable, high-performance biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower through targeted research, development, demonstration, and deployment supported through public and private partnerships.
Develop commercially viable biomass technologies to enable the production of biofuels nationwide and reduce dependence on oil through the creation of a new domestic bioenergy industry, thus supporting the EISA goal of 36 billion gallons per year of renewable transportation fuels by 2022. And, increase biopower’s contribution to national renewable energy goals by increasing biopower generating capacity.

2012: $1.76/gallon of ethanol ($2.62/GGE) 2017: $2.85/gallon of renewable gasoline $2.84/gallon of renewable diesel $2.76/gallon of renewable jet (costs in 2007 dollars).
• Focus on RD&D of cellulosic biofuel technologies to help reduce the cost of production and spur private sector investment in biorefineries
• Cost of production of cellulosic biofuels – currently higher than conventional petroleum (and starch-based) fuels
• Production costs going down substantially as a result of Program support, declines projected to continue • Biochemical drop in fuels – under study

Replacing the Whole Barrel
Source: Energy Information Administration, “Oil: Crude Oil and Petroleum Products Explained” and AEO2009, Updated February 2010, Reference Case. *American Petroleum Institute.
• Greater focus needed on RDD&D for a range of technologies to displace the entire barrel of petroleum crude
• Reducing dependence on oil will require developing technologies to replace other components of the barrel, such as diesel, jet, heavy distillates, and a range of chemicals and products
• Cellulosic ethanol displaces light duty gasoline fraction only
• U.S. spends more than $1,197M each day on crude oil imports*
• Oil accounts for 94% of transportation fuel use (EIA), accounting for over 70% of total U.S. oil consumption.
• Nearly 22.3M barrels of oil are required every day to fuel ~247M light-duty vehicles on the road*
• Only about 40% of a barrel of crude oil is used to produce light duty petroleum gasoline

Advancements in Sustainable Algae Production OBJECTIVE: Support outdoor phototrophic algae research and development projects in two topic areas:
1. Nutrient and water use in algal production systems 2. Preparation of algae testbed facilities
Synthetic Biology Applications for Biofuels & Bioproducts OBJECTIVE: Utilize synthetic biology techniques to an applied research topic that improve techno-economic
analysis for unit operation(s) in biomass processing routes for the production of hydrocarbon biofuels and biofuel precursors, as well as bioproducts and chemicals.
Clean Cookstoves OBJECTIVE: Accelerate the dissemination of transformative low-emission, high efficiency cookstove
technologies that use solid biomass fuels through three topic areas: 1. Product and auxiliary device development and piloting, including fans, sensors, and
controls 2. Combustion and heat transfer research applied to stove development 3. Design tool for stove development

Bio-Oil Stabilization and Commoditization OBJECTIVE: Target analysis and process development in thermochemical liquefaction to enable the
commoditization of bio-oils for hydrocarbon biofuel production with industrial (refinery) off take partners. Two topic areas will be supported:
1. Ideal for technology providers (TPs) that have not yet formed bio-oil off take agreements. Necessitates in-depth TEA/LCA and formation of a refinery partner for continuation onto phase II.
2. Ideal for technology providers with a pre-existing refinery partner who are able to propose a complete pathway from feedstock through final hydrocarbon biofuel .
Innovative Pilot OBJECTIVE: Production of hydrocarbon fuels at pilot or demonstration scale facilities that meet military
blend specifications. A pilot or demonstration scale biorefinery should be integrated from biomass input to fuel output such that the finished product is a qualified fuel ready to be used with fossil fuels at downstream facilities. Two topic areas will be supported:
1. Technologies that utilize algae (micro, macro, cyanobacteria, heterotrophic) 2. Technologies that utilize other renewable and waste feedstocks
