<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 September 2021, assesses the maturity of <em>Vernicia fordii</em> (tung oil), as a feedstock for the catalytic hydrothermolysis conversion process in the United States South region. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Vernicia_fordii_HEFA_South_Frost_2021_09_final.</p> <p>File Name: Vernicia_fordii_HEFA_South_Frost_2021_09_final.xlsx</p><p>Resource Description: Feedstock Readiness Level evaluation of Vernicia fordii for catalytic hydrothermolysis conversion in the Southern US/Gulf Coast region</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: FSRL Data Dictionary.</p> <p>File Name: Data Dictionary FSRL.csv</p><p>Resource Description: Data dictionary describing the format and entry of data for Feedstock Readiness Level evaluations.</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: Vernicia_fordii_HEFA_South_Frost_2021_09_finalrev1.xlsx.</p> <p>File Name: Vernicia_fordii_HEFA_South_Frost_2021_09_finalrev1.xlsx</p><p>Resource Description: This dataset fixes an important typographical error identified in Vernicia_fordii_HEFA_South_Frost_2021_09_final.xlsx.

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.

These evaluations are based on individual assessments at a given time and location and are not necessarily definitive or exhaustive.
