The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Supply Chain Analysis

To meet its defossilization goals, the US needs cost-effective solutions to provide conversion-ready feedstocks. A team of researchers at Idaho National Laboratory have undertaken a project to look at advanced supply system designs that utilize active quality management and seek to develop feedstock as a commodity with defined quality constraints and flowable formats. And, develop n^th-plant feedstock supply system designs, the delivered cost targets for conversion-ready feedstocks, and tracked R&D progress toward those targets  David Thompson of Idaho National Laboratory presented these slides at DOE Project Peer Review on the project’s promise and progress.
