<p>Feedstock readiness level evaluations are performed for a specific feedstock-conversion process combination and for a particular region. FSRL evaluations complement evaluations of Fuel Readiness Level (FRL) and environmental progress.</p>
<p>The data from this evaluation, compiled in March 2017, assesses the maturity of <em>Panicum virgatum</em>, <em>Andropogon gerardii</em> and <em>Sorghastrum nutans</em>, as a feedstock for the Alcohol-to-Jet conversion process in the United States Central East region. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Herbaceous perennial grasses_CE_Mitchell Update.xlsx.</p> <p>File Name: Herbaceous perennial grasses_CE_Mitchell Update.xlsx</p><p>Resource Description: Feedstock Readiness Level Evaluation for various herbaceous perennial grasses in the Central East of the U.S.</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: FSRL Data Dictionary.</p> <p>File Name: Data DictionaryF2F2_0_2 (1).csv</p><p>Resource Description: Data dictionary describing the format and entry of data for Feedstock Readiness Level evaluations.</p></li></ul><p></p>
The evaluations are intended to be used for two purposes: first, to enable stakeholders to identify gaps where further research, development or investment may be needed to facilitate readiness of a particular feedstock for a given conversion process, and second, to allow parties interested in developing alternative fuel facilities to understand what feedstocks may be available in the near term in a particular region.
Use limitations
