• Global energy demand is expected to grow at CAGR 1.6%.
- Feedstock diversity will become increasingly important over this period with coal, natural gas & renewables playing bigger roles.
• Fossil fuels are expected to supply 83% of energy and 95% of liquid transportation needs
• Biofuels are expected to grow at 8-12%/year to > 2.2 MBPD

Environmental: loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, nutrient leaching, soil and water pollution and deforestation
Land and water: competition for land and water resources that are already in high demand
Food supply: small impact on the fuel market, yet large impact on food supply

• Produce real “drop-in” fuels instead of fuel additives/blends• Leverage existing refining/ transportation infrastructure to lower capital
costs, minimize value chain disruptions, and reduce investment risk.• Focus on path toward second generation feedstocks

Natural oils contain oxygen, have high molecular weight.First reaction removes oxygen – product is diesel range waxy paraffinsSecond reaction “cracks” diesel paraffins to smaller, highly branched moleculesEnd product is same as molecules already present in aviation fuelEnd product is independent of starting oil

Calculation of GHG emissions (E)European Commission Proposal, January 2008
Critical Input ParametersLocal farming emissions (N2O) Land use change impacts
− direct− indirect
Process emissions− pretreatment− conversion
MethodologyGreenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of transport fuels, biofuels and other bioliquids shall be calculated as:E = eec + el + ep +eid + eu – eccs –eccr- eee,
Biomass Biofuels
CO2 CO2
Portion of E assigned to co-productsbased on energy allocation method
Biofuels are considered “climate neutral” fuels
whereE = total emissions from the use of the fueleec = emissions from the extraction or cultivation of
raw materialsel = annualized emissions from carbon stock
changes caused by land use changeep = emissions from processingeid = emissions transport and distributioneu = emissions from the fuel in useeccs = emission savings from carbon capture and
sequestrationeccr = emissions from carbon capture and
replacement; andeee, = emission savings from excess electricity
from cogeneration
Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall not be taken into account

All routes rely on the same technology to make the end fuel. Therefore, all routes will result in fuels which are chemically similar.

Objectives:Demonstrate viability of biofuels in commercial aviationGenerate the data necessary to support certification of biofuels
(analytical, ground, flight)
Industry Actively Engaged in Enabling Biofuels
Achieving Sustainability• Renewables are going to make up an increasing
share of the future fuels pool- Multitude of bioprocessing approaches possible- Fungible biofuels are here- Essential to overlay sustainability criteria
• First generation biofuels, though raw material limited, are an important first step to creating a biofuels infrastructure. Bridging feedstocks are key.
• Second generation feedstocks, cellulosic waste and algal oils, have the potential to make significant contributions.
• Important to promote technology neutral and performance based standards and directives to avoid standardization on old technology.
