Amidst a period of historic transformation, the marine shipping sector faces uncertainty regarding its ability to reliably fuel while remaining compliant with new international environmental regulations and targets. Increasingly stringent standards, heightened regulatory focus on maritime decarbonization are driving infrastructural technical development for alternative fuels mixtures, engine concepts, operating practices. However, transition fueling is highly complex requires both global...
Abstract To reach the goals set by US Department of Energy's Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge, currently available feedstocks may be insufficient. Giving priority to developing, prototyping and reducing cost algal feedstock before investing lining up locations is important. As production advances, a simplified conversion approach using more mature technologies can help reduce investment risk for algae‐based fuels. Reducing process complexity steps described here [namely,...
A systems-level modeling suite underpins estimates of greenhouse gas and other benefits deploying co-optimized fuels engines.
The potential long-term impacts and systemic effects of incentives are great interest to the biofuels industry decision makers, particularly with regards forthcoming mandates for biofuels. We have used Biomass Scenario Model (BSM) build a theoretical understanding role on evolution biomass-to-biofuels market. It models broad range such as renewable gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel. In this paper, we focus cellulosic ethanol describe model-based insights into that aimed at stimulating growth...
Renewable MCCI bio-blendstocks with advantageous properties co-optimized engines and a ducted fuel injection could reduce engine-out emissions leading to reduced total cost of vehicle ownership potential penetrate the market at scale.
Abstract The biomass scenario model (BSM) is a dynamic of the biomass‐to‐biofuels supply chain in U.S.A., developed during multi‐year analysis effort conducted by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), under sponsorship from United States Department (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO). BSM project, which received 2018 Applications Award International System Dynamics Society, has supported collaborative analyses, scenarios for industry development and facilitated stakeholder...
Assessments of the impact U.S. renewable fuel standard (RFS) should inform consideration future biofuels policy. Conventional wisdom suggests RFS played a major role in stimulating ten-fold expansion ethanol production and consumption United States from 2002 to 2019, but evidence increasingly may have had smaller effect than previously assumed. Price competitiveness, federal state policies such as reformulated gasoline requirements, octane content also affect market attractiveness. This...
Abstract The aviation sector's commitments to carbon‐neutral growth in international starting 2020, and the desire improve supply surety, price stability, environmental performance of fuels, have led broad interest sustainable alternative jet fuels. Here, we use system‐dynamics‐based biomass scenario model (BSM), focused on fuel production capacity evolution, geospatially explicit Freight Fuel Transportation Optimization Tool (FTOT), optimal feedstock flows over transportation system,...
The oil and gas industry is increasingly seeking operational improvements to reduce costs emissions while improving resilience. This study describes techno-economic analysis of opportunities for distributed energy resources that could be integrated support companies’ economic, environmental, resiliency goals. Specifically, the evaluates solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, battery storage, landfill gas, biomass, municipal solid waste-to-energy, steam process heat, combined heat power,...
The oil and gas industry is increasingly seeking operational improvements to reduce both costs emissions while improving resilience against electric grid outages. This study describes techno-economic analysis of opportunities for distributed energy generation storage technologies support companies' cost savings, clean energy, resiliency goals. Specifically, the evaluates solar photovoltaics (PV), wind battery at hypothetical upstream well sites in Marcellus Shale Pennsylvania, grid-connected...
Governments are dealing with the challenge of how to efficiently invest in research and development portfolios related energy technologies. Research investment decisions space especially difficult due numerous risks uncertainties, complexity energy's interactions broad economy. Historically, much U.S. Department Energy's in-depth analyses focused on assessing impact a activity isolation from other available opportunities did not substantially consider risk uncertainty. Endeavoring combine...
