Biofuel & Bioproduct Markets
• USA – 136 billion gal/yr gasoline + 45 bgy diesel
• At E10 level: 14 bgy, $50 billion • Federal gov’t calls for 36 bgy by 2022
– 21 bgy advanced biofuels (cellulosic and algal) – Value: $74 billion
• Bioproducts: mul6-‐billion dollar markets (plas6cs, resins, nutraceu6cals)
• Globally, even bigger markets

Key Issues
• Feedstock availability – Reliable supply – Consistent quality (single or mix)
• Scalable technology – Effec6ve conversion – Off-‐the-‐shelf scalability
• Promising economics – Reliable baseline – Gradual op6miza6on
![Page 7: Advanced(Biofuels:( The(Road(to(Commercializa9on(floridaenergy.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/Philippid...Advanced(Biofuels:(The(Road(to(Commercializa9on(GeorgePhilippidis,Ph.D.& Director,&Alternave&Energy&Research&Center&](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed0e6a8b63ac52ce456dbb5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Feedstock
• Type – Single feedstock e.g. bagasse, woody, energy crops – Mix of feedstocks
• Reliability – Millions of tons annually – Economies of scale – Supply control
• Consistency – Varia6ons in composi6on – Process adjustments: difficult and costly
![Page 8: Advanced(Biofuels:( The(Road(to(Commercializa9on(floridaenergy.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/Philippid...Advanced(Biofuels:(The(Road(to(Commercializa9on(GeorgePhilippidis,Ph.D.& Director,&Alternave&Energy&Research&Center&](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed0e6a8b63ac52ce456dbb5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Technology
• Effec6ve & Efficient – High sugar yield
• Maximize C6 and C5 sugars – Fermentable sugars with minimal processing – Water, energy, and waste management
• Readily scalable – Simple, non-‐exo6c equipment, off-‐the-‐shelf
• Reliable opera6on – Minimize moving parts
![Page 9: Advanced(Biofuels:( The(Road(to(Commercializa9on(floridaenergy.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/Philippid...Advanced(Biofuels:(The(Road(to(Commercializa9on(GeorgePhilippidis,Ph.D.& Director,&Alternave&Energy&Research&Center&](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed0e6a8b63ac52ce456dbb5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Economics • Reliable baseline
– Con6nuous opera6on at pilot scale – Real world condi6ons – Manageable response to opera6onal upsets
• Promising economics – Minimize capital cost
• Co-‐loca6on (sugar mill, pulp mill, corn mill) • Non-‐exo6c materials of construc6on
– Minimize opera6ng cost • Mild condi6ons, energy efficiency • By-‐products, recycling
• Economics will improve over 6me

Biomass Industry: Why in Florida?
– Abundant, sustainable, inexpensive – Source of ethanol, hydrocarbons, bioproducts, power – Florida: #1 in the USA in annual biomass genera6on
• Favorite climate year-‐round • Agricultural residues (citrus, bagasse) and yard biomass • Land availability • Entrepreneurial focus on biomass and bioenergy • Partnerships with the private sector • Educated workforce, I-‐4 High Tech Corridor • Strategic loca6on for produc6on and land/sea logis6cs

Algae Industry: Why in Florida?
– Source of fuels (jet, military, biodiesel) and bioproducts – Florida: Best place in the USA for algae business
• Warm weather, sunlight, marginal land (e.g. phosphate mines) • High yield projec6ons • CO2 from industrial opera6ons (fer6lizer, cement, power plants) • Entrepreneurial focus on algae • Partnerships with the private sector • Educated workforce, I-‐4 High Tech Corridor • Strategic loca6on for produc6on and land/sea logis6cs
