Platform Approach
• Approach
• Identification of Barriers,
• Fuels, Chemical and Materials, Heat and Power
• Conducting Systematic R&D Activities to Overcome these Barriers,
• Appropriate research is selected through competitive funding
opportunity announcements (FOA) that target applied and precompetitive research that addresses the technology barriers and
those technology areas suggested by industry to be the highest
priority. The applicants are required to show a direct correlation to
barriers in their proposed research plans.
• and Prioritizing Activities Based on the Biorefinery Pathways.
• Analysis drives the prioritization of research areas to be pursued,
with a view toward near, mid and long term implementation.
• Relationship to Program and EERE goals and targets
• An integrated biorefinery is the ultimate deployment strategy for the
Program to meet its goals of reducing dependence of petroleum and
spurring the growth of the bioindustry.
Platform Goals
• Fuels: reducing the cost of ethanol production in both
existing facilities as well as future lignocellulosic
facilities.
• Chemicals and Materials: competitive with petroleum
counterparts both economically and in performance
characteristics.
More specific goals and economic targets will be discussed
Key Joule Accomplishments
• These are the most important accomplishments related to project milestones and objectives
• These accomplishments are benchmarked against the technical targets
FY 2003 Results
FY 2004 Results
FY2005 Results
In partnership with
industry, completed pilot
scale demonstration of two
new biobased product
technologies for economic,
technical, and product
performance.
Completed validation of
one new biobased product
technology, with long-term
potential of greater than 2
billion lbs. /yr. sales, at the
pilot scale for economic,
technical, and product
viability in partnership with
industry.
Establish the technical and
market potential of a new
biobased product.
A 2-cycle engine oil
derived from soy oil was
commercialized for the
emerging bioproducts
industry.
With industry partners, a
new biobased product
technology advanced to
scale-up partners’ intention
to commercialize in a new
industrial biorefinery by FY
2008. The biorefinery will
be at pilot scale.
Key Accomplishments
• The OBP program currently employs strategic analyses to help focus the efforts as well as
responses from solicitations in crafting the products portfolio. Two such strategic analyses directed
towards products from biomass have been published.
• Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass Volume I—Results of Screening for
Potential Candidates from Sugars and Synthesis Gas (T. Werpy and G. Petersen, 2004)
contains recommendations for the top 12 and top 24 candidates for building block organic
chemicals derived from sugars and the associated research needs.
• Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass Volume II. Results of Screening for Potential
Candidates from Biorefinery Lignin (Bozell, Holladay, Johnson, and White, 2005) is
currently planned to be vetted with industry.
• Examples of significant achievements to date:
• Successfully demonstrated technical and economic feasibility of a soy-based marine lubricant
which went to commercialization.
• Metabolix’s Natural Plastics win presidential green chemistry challenge award.
• A patent was filed resulting from yeast development work for new strains with multisugar
fermenting capabilities
• Two patents filed for separative bioreactor wafers and applications.
• Chemicals from Biologically-Derived Succinic Acid (R&D 100).
• Public outreach:
• First International Biorefinery Workshop, July 2005
• Interim Stage Gate Review, August 2005
• Biodiesel Earmark “Information Meeting”, June 2005
• Benefits: Return On Investment
Products Interim Stage Gate Overview
August 9-10, 2005
20 projects were reviewed by a panel of experts from government, industry, and
academia. 18 were funded by DOE/OBP and two are funded by USDA. All of the
projects focused on technology development regarding products in the following three
technical areas: Analysis, Chemicals and Materials, and Fuels.
The objective of this review meeting was to provide DOE/OBP with:
• An evaluation of the technical progress and impacts on addressing program goals,
barriers, and milestones
• Effectiveness of the technical work to date in achieving project goals and objectives
• Plans toward completing the goals and objectives
• Explanation of the envisioned commercialization pathway including any preliminary
business plan

Interim Review Outcomes
• Draft report indicates strengths and weaknesses of the
portfolio.
• Program staff are working with project staff to develop action
plans that will reduce weaknesses.
• Key Outcomes:
• Analysis is an important tool for guiding the
prioritization of the Platform.
• Education of the importance of markets, competing
technology considerations and decision making tools
used by the program.
• Lacked a good review of the platform approach
Future Direction
• Products is shifting focus from single product development projects to
products development within the Integrated Biorefinery
• Mortgages will be continued to completion.
• Increased focus on core enabling technologies
• Examples:
• Fungal genomics
• Fermentation fundamentals
• Separations
