*Provide the best value achieved to date based on actual data, if available
**Describe  the basis or justification for result reported, and the scale it was demonstrated. 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.
***For Capital estimates, please include the level of confidence in the data and provide ranges if applicable.
