• Overall program planning, evaluation, and integration led by Headquarters and the Program Integrator at NREL
• DOE project management, reporting, execution by DOE Field Offices
• Research, development, and demonstration at the national laboratories, universities, and with industry through industry-validated core research at the labs and through public-private partnerships
– Core high-risk, long-term research at the national laboratories and universities with industry evaluation
– Near-term research, pilot and larger demonstrations through industry-led consortiums
General Responsibilities
Organization
Mission of OBP
“The mission of OBP is to partner with U.S. industry to foster research and development on advanced technologies that will transform our abundant biomass resources into clean, affordable, and domestically-produced biofuels, biopower and high-value products. The result will be improved economic development, expanded energy supply options, and increased energy security”
Program Goal Hierarchy
• $7.00 per MMBtu syngas• $0.10 per lb sugars• Industrial viability of four
commodity scale products
Intermediate Goals(2012)
EERE Strategic Goals1. Dramatically reduce or even end our dependence on foreign oil
2. Create the new domestic bioindustry
DOE's Strategic GoalTo protect our national and economic security by promoting a
diverse supply of reliable, affordable, and environmentally sound energy
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 biorefinery based on agricultural residues
OBP Program GoalDevelop 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.
‘04 Joule Milestones
• Demonstrate clean syngas production in three thermochemical conversion systems.
• Achieve a net 3 percent increase in ethanol production utilizing corn fiber.
• Validate one new biobased product technology at pilot scale, with long-term product potential of greater than 2 billion lbs/yr sales.
• Advance one new biobased product technology within a biorefinery to scale-up with partners' intention to commercialize in a new industrial biorefinery by FY2008.
• Reduce Program’s annual uncosteds by 10% in 2004.
