SUMMARY:Life cycle assessment tools for emerging renewable fuels\, chemical
 s\, and materials
DESCRIPTION:Advanced biofuels are under development to meet policy goals fo
 r diversifying energy supply\, reducing the carbon-intensity of transporta
 tion and other sectors\, and stimulating rural economic development. Count
 ries around the world have developed renewable and low carbon fuel policie
 s that incentivize bringing transport fuels derived from biomass to market
 . Currently\, biochemical and thermochemical technologies are under develo
 pment at laboratory and pilot scale to investigate the technological needs
  of scaling biofuels and value-added co-products. Ethanol\, higher alcohol
 s\, and fully infrastructure compatible fuels (with 0% oxygen – physical
 ly and chemically similar to current petroleum-based fuels) are being deve
 loped at different scales\, including farm/distributed scale (up to 200 dr
 y metric tons/day) and industrial scale (2000 dry metric tons/day and high
 er) to utilize diverse lignocellulose resources. Life cycle assessment (LC
 A) is a method for evaluating the environmental performance of product sys
 tems\, which over the last two decades\, has become integral to judging th
 e compliance of renewable or “low carbon” fuels in energy policy. This
  lecture reviews the development of and results from LCA and techno-econom
 ic analysis (TEA) models for transport fuels and co-products under develop
 ment via biochemical conversion and upgrading of multiple biomass resource
 s (agricultural residues and dedicated energy crops) and readily available
  fats and oils and benchmarks them relative to conventional fuels made fro
 m petroleum. Some of the challenges in modeling early-stage biomass conver
 sion and upgrading to fuels and chemicals are discussed along with strateg
 ies for overcoming them.\n\nAbstract
