Feedstocks
In the production of biofuels, bio-based materials and biochemicals, the three most significant factors are always feedstock, technology, and logistics. The success of any project involves finding the best combination of these at the lowest cost. To properly evaluate feedstocks, long-term viability is an important factor and evaluating profitability for both the grower and producer are the key indicators of this sustainability.

22094Choosing Feedstocks
The greatest successes occur when the selected feedstocks are readily available regionally at competitive prices, and the selected technology is the one which most efficiently converts these raw materials into cost effective products. Initial considerations in choosing a feedstock are its availability, composition, and its operating ranges for temperatures, pressures, and flow rates.
