Bio-C2G Model and Feedstock to Function Tool
Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory
Description
Bio-C2G is a lightweight, flexible biositing model capable of quantifying production costs, life-cycle emissions, water use, other relevant metrics for a hypothetical facility with identified organic/biomass feedstocks. The Feedstock to Function Tool is a database and machine learning tool for predicting chemical properties of high-potential biofuels and bioproducts.
Capability Bounds
These tools are intended to provide decision support for bioproducts and bioprocesses at early stages of development and exploration.
Unique Aspects
User-friendly tools to gain insights into potential fuels and products, along with an understanding of facility siting to meet process needs. Data from various sources is aggregated and made accessible for analysis.
Availability
Tools are freely available for use at lead.jbei.org. Engagement with principals is ad hoc and requires direct coordination.
Benefit
These tools provide decision support in early stages of product or process development. They aim to reach a broad audience of executives, researchers, communities, and others in the bioeconomy.
