3 Outline Context for biofuels and key facts Photosynthesis and carbon fixafon Feedstocks Fuels Recap 3
4 What is BioEnergy According to the InternaFonal Energy Agency (IEA): Material which is directly or indirectly produced by photosynthesis and which is uflized as a feedstock in the manufacture of fuels and subsftutes for petrochemical and other energy intensive products. IEA Bioenergy: hvp:// 4
5 Overview of BioEnergy Photosynthesis EnzymaIc Energy Photons Inorganic Molecules + CO 2 - Plants - Algae - Cyanobacteria Chemosynthesis - Chemolithotrophs (in deep oceans, isolated caves, etc) Biomass - Same organism - Different organism Thermochemical - Pyrolysis - GasificaFon Fuels or Chemicals Ethanol Biodiesel Jet Fuel Methane Energy Capture Chemical Conversion 5
6 Some advantages of bioenergy compared to other renewables The only renewable source that can replace fossil fuels in all energy markets in the producfon of heat, electricity, and fuels for transport (IEA) The source of a variety of drop- in liquid fuels The source of petroleum in the first place The primary way by which atmospheric CO 2 is consumed 6

9 Percentage of the world s energy Biomass- based energy accounted for ~10% of world total primary energy supply in 2009 Includes cooking/heafng in developing countries Global producfon of biofuels: 2000: 16 billion liters 2011: 100+ billion liters Total road transport fuel globally: 3% Source: IEA Brazil: 23% 9

20 Feedstocks Two categories of photosynthefc organisms: 1) Those that capture light energy into non- fuel biomass - Chemical conversion sfll required 2) Those that capture light energy and produce a fuel - Only physical separafon required Image: hvp://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/images/feedstock1.jpg 20

42 Recap and take home points TradiFonal biofuels have several drawbacks When evaluafng a biofuel process, consider: Carbon lifecycle Food versus fuel Land (or water) required Feedstock transportafon Desired end fuel Research efforts directed toward producfon of advanced and cellulosic biofuels make most sense (just my opinion!) 42
