Why Biofuels? – Presidential
Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future
Developing and securing America’s energy resources
• Expand safe and responsible domestic oil and gas
development and production
• Lead the world toward safer and more secure energy supplies
Innovating our way to a clean energy future
• Harness America’s clean energy potential through supporting
industry in commercializing new biofuels technologies
• Win the future through clean energy research, development,
and deployment activities that reduce barriers to increased
biofuel, bioproduct, and biopower use
Provide consumers with choices to reduce costs and
save energy
• Reduce consumer costs at the pump with more efficient, fuelflexible cars and trucks

Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
•
At low % blends, refiners can adjust
operations to produce suitable
blendstocks
– Ethanol, e.g., vapor pressure
– Biodiesel, e.g., cold-flow
•
At higher % biofuel, displaced
hydrocarbons may be shifted to lessvaluable markets
– Gasoline, e.g., to cracker feed
– Diesel, e.g., to fuel oil
•
As crude is displaced as a source of
one product, there may be shortfalls in
other markets
– Gasoline, e.g., diesel & jet
– Motor fuels & jet, e.g., chemicals
– Aromatics, e.g., hydrogen

Integrated Biorefinery (IBR) Status
• Investments broadened to include more hydrocarbon fuels, diverse biomass
feedstocks, and geographical diversity:
Over $1B in DOE investments in 29 IBR projects
»
»
»
»
11 hydrocarbon fuels - $326M
16 cellulosic ethanol - $703M
1 butanol - $30M
1 succinic acid - $50M
• Projects represent up to 170 million gallons in planned capacity of biofuels
and products by 2014, with an industry cost share of about $2.5B, including
loan guarantees
* Note, pilot projects would
not sell biofuel in
commercial markets. This
scale is for technoeconomic validation.

IBR Operations Timeline for Producing
Advanced Biofuels

DOE OBP has 26 IBR projects
producing biofuels at various
scales:
• 12 at pilot scale (min 1 dry tonne
per day feedstock)*
• 8 at demonstration scale (min 5070 dry tonnes per day feedstock)
• 6 at commercial scale (min 700
dry tonnes per day feedstock)

maintains 2 R&D scale projects at preliminary
engineering design that are not producing fuels.
