* Provide the best value achieved to date based on actual data, not design specs or plans
**Describe  the basis or justification for current best result and the scale at which it was achieved. Examples of basis include: number of hours at steady state (steady state typically defined as continuous operation of the integrated process for ≥3 residence times), or the results of a number of replicate short runs of the isolated process step, etc. Include how the measurement was made (e.g. analysis of the gasifier outlet stream using gas chromatography).  Reference information in Table 1 as necessary.
***For Capital estimates, please include the level of confidence in the data and provide ranges if applicable.
