26 Responses to Previous Reviewers Comments Before selecting a process to be used in the analysis, there needed to be a back of the envelope analysis for multiple technologies processes. PI response (2007): There was back of the envelope analysis performed, but not presented in the time allotted. Reviewer response (2007): This should have been presented Response to comment (2009): There were several related studies that helped identify the most promising conversion processes prior to the 2007 Phillips et al. design report, as outlined in several NREL internal reports and memos. Some previous work on the conversion of biomass to hydrogen (especially for the front end gasification and cleanup) was also used for selecting the 2007 report s mixed alcohols process via indirect gasification: Spath and Dayton. Preliminary Screening Technical and Economic Assessment of Synthesis Gas to Fuels and Chemicals with Emphasis on the Potential for Biomass Derived Syngas. December 2003 Spath. Explanation and Update of ASPEN Gasifier Models and Correlations Including Some Instructions about Model Usage. March 2004 Spath.

Effect of oxygen purity on direct fired gasifier & comparison to indirect gasification. Oct Aden, Spath, Atherton. The Potential of Thermochemical Ethanol Via Mixed Alcohols Production. Sep 2005 A discussion of why the indirect gasifier was chosen over a direct gasifier is in the 2007 design report (see next slide for more details). The logic for selection was borne out for the dry ash gasifier case by the higher ethanol production cost in direct gasifier study presented here. 27
27 Responses to Previous Reviewers Comments Excerpts from the 2007 design report (Phillips et al.) justifying why the indirect gasification process was thought to be economically most attractive and was studied first. Indirect steam gasification was chosen as the technology around which this process was developed based upon previous technoeconomic studies for the production of methanol and hydrogen from biomass [13]. The sub process operations for ethanol production are very similar to those for methanol production (although the specific process configuration will be different). The general process areas include: feed preparation, gasification, gas cleanup and conditioning, and alcohol synthesis & purification... A number of POX and steam gasifiers are under development and have the potential to produce a synthesis gas suitable for liquid fuel synthesis. These gasifiers have been operated in the 4 to 350 ton per day scale. The decision as to which type of gasifier (POX or steam) will be the most economic depends upon the entire process, not just the cost for the gasifier itself. One indicator for comparing processes is capital intensity, the capital cost required on a per unit product basis. Figure 2 shows the capital intensity of methanol processes [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] based on indirect steam gasification and direct POX gasification. This figure shows that steam gasification capital intensity is comparable or lower than POX gasification. The estimates indicate that both steam gasification and POX gasification processes should be evaluated, but if the processes need to be evaluated sequentially, choosing steam gasification for the first evaluation is reasonable. 28
28 Responses to Previous Reviewers Comments This type of analysis should be used in guiding R&D efforts, which may currently be understated Response to comment (2009): Almost all thermochemical conversion R&D at NREL and PNNL is guided by technoeconomic analysis. Anything with little potential for economic benefits is given lower priority. Critical literature review of current pyrolysis reports before pursuing the new pyrolysis design report Response to comment (2009): Review articles and opinions of experts in the field of pyrolysis were taken into consideration for the 2009 pyrolysis design report Need to work hard to get cost numbers that are representative of current industry Response to comment (2009): It continues to be difficult to get industry to divulge cost estimates of technology that is still under development. Efforts are made to update cost information of known equipment, e.g. the entire heat exchanger network after pinch analysis was reevaluated using the version of Aspen Icarus Process Evaluator for the study of mixed alcohols via direct gasification. However, where better estimates are not available, use of estimates from new sources that may be questionable is not encouraged because this tends to change the basis of the new estimates and makes it difficult to compare new processes with existing benchmarks. Engineering firms have also been used to get cost data from vendors of commercially available equipment, which would otherwise not be provided to national laboratories. 29
