Sheet: Instructions - Start Here

Instructions
1) Applicants must provide a simplified process flow diagram or a block flow diagram for the proposed innovative pilot process and a brief description of the process and the technologies used within.
2)  Applicants must also complete ONE table documenting demonstrated and target values for key performance parameters.  Please use the instructions below to populate one of the tables found in the following tabs: "2. KPPs for BC Conversion", "2. KPPs for Gasification", "2. KPPs for Pyrolysis", or "2. KPPs for Natural Oils - Algae".  Please select the most relevant tab for your proposed process, and make ANY changes necessary to the template to adapt it to your proposed process as effectively as possible.  It is acknowledged that some proposed processes may be hybrid or novel processes, or not sufficiently described using one of the example templates.  In this case, the offeror can adapt or change an existing spreadsheet however they see fit, so long as there is sufficient information included on the proposed process and key performance parameters for the process to be evaluated.
3)  When completed, save this file containing the offeror's data and attach it to your Technical Volume.
Instructions for Completing Table 2:
1. Choose one of the following tabs, and adapt the key performance parameters (KPPs) listed in Table 2 to the proposed process: 2. KPPs for BC Conversion, 2. KPPs for Gasification, 2. KPPs for Pyrolysis, 2. KPPs for Natural Oils - Algae, or 2. KPPs for Heterotrophic Algae.  Natural Oils are intended to be any plant, waste, oil or grease-based feedstock.
2. In Table 2, please provide estimates of the demonstrated and target values for the KPPs expected for the proposed process.  For each KPP, briefly describe the basis or justification of the estimated value.  In the Basis/Justification field, please also specify if the performance value has been demonstrated or is a research/development target.
2a. For KPPs  that are not applicable to the proposed process, please indicate "N/A".
2b. For KPPs that are applicable to the proposed process, but no estimate is currently available, please indicate "not available".
2c. For KPPs that are relevant to the proposed process, but not included in the provided spreadsheet, please insert the appropriate metric and value in the appropriate section of the spreadsheet.
3. In the "Overall Yields" section, please estimate the yield for all the product streams made in the proposed process.  Please provide the yield estimates on a per dry-metric-tonne feedstock basis.  Please include all process streams that will/could serve as revenue to the proposed process.
3a. Please insert additional products/streams as necessary to accurately reflect the proposed process.
3b. Please estimate the overall gate-to-gate energy efficiency of the proposed process (lower heating value basis).  Please include all products, byproducts, feeds, and co-feeds in the calculation.
4. In the "Overall Usage Rates" section, please provide an estimate for the chemicals and materials costs for the proposed process (above that generated in the proposed process, if applicable), including enzymes, chemicals, catalysts, imported H2, other materials, solvents, etc.
4a. Please estimate the total power required to operate the proposed process (not including power generation) at commercial scale.
4b. Additionally, please estimate the total power, natural gas, steam, and other utilities that would need to be purchased and imported to the proposed process (above generation in process) at commercial scale.
4c. Please estimate the total water consumed in the proposed process at commercial scale.  Include process water, cooling water evaporation losses, boiler feed water makeup, etc.
5. In the "Wastes" section, please estimate the waste water and solid waste expected from the proposed process at commercial scale.  Include assumptions for recycling or re-use in the Basis/Justification field.
6. In the "Capital Costs" section, please estimate the ultimate commercial capacity expected for the proposed process.
6a. In the "Capital Costs" section, provide an estimate of the total capital investment for the proposed process at the specified commercial scale.  Please include the basis for the capital estimate, and an estimate for the uncertainty in the value provided.
7. In the "Labor Costs" section, please estimate the expected commercial plant staff or annual labor costs for the proposed process.
8. For proposals that intend to start with an ideal feedstock and transition to a different feedstock as part of the application, please insert additional columns in the KPP table and provide demonstrated/target data and data basis/justification information for each feedstock planned.
