This Funding Opportunity Anouncement aims to identify, evaluate and select innovative pilot- or demonstration-scale integrated bio-refineries which can produce hydrocarbon fuels which meet military specifications for JP-5 (jet fuel primarily for the Navy), JP-8 (jet fuel primarily for the Air Force), or F-76 (diesel).
Integrated bio-refineries proposed for this funding opportunity may employ various combinations of feed stocks and conversion technologies to produce a variety of products but the primary focus must be on producing bio-fuels.
Novel and highly innovative technologies are strongly invited. Topic Area 1 requests applicants to design, construct and/or operate an integrated pilot-or demonstration-scale integrated bio-refinery in order to validate the proposed technology using an acceptable lignocellulosic or waste-based feedstock, to produce an acceptable bio-fuel. Processes are also eligible under this topic that can utilize advanced technology app roaches for the efficient conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) (rather than direct conversion of lignocellulosic biomass) directly to liquid transportation fuels. Topic Area 2 requests applicants to design, construct and/or operate an integrated pilot- or demonstration-scale integrated biorefinery in order to validate the proposed technology using an acceptable algal type feedstock, to produce an acceptable bio-fuel.
