Feedstock Readiness Level (FSRL) evaluation: tung oil (Vernicia fordii), Catalytic Hydrothermolysis, South, Sept. 2021
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.
The data from this evaluation, compiled in September 2021, assesses the maturity of Vernicia fordii (tung oil), as a feedstock for the catalytic hydrothermolysis conversion process in the United States South region.

Ag Data CommonsIntended use
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
These evaluations are based on individual assessments at a given time and location and are not necessarily definitive or exhaustive.Temporal Extent Start Date
