DOE-INES New Planet Bioenergy Technical Report Final Public Version 7-22-16

[摘要] INEOS Bio and New Planet Energy Florida formed a joint venture company called INEOS New Planet BioEnergy (???INPB???) in 2009. This venture???s intent was to demonstrate at commercial scale INEOS Bio???s third-generation technology (the ???Bio Process???) that converts a variety of lignocellulosic feedstocks into bioethanol and renewable electricity. INPB applied for and was awarded a $50,000,000 Department of Energy (???DOE???) grant in 2009 to support the construction of the commercial demonstration plant. The grant was a cost-sharing arrangement requiring at least 50% equity participation by the grantee. INPB completed construction of the Indian River BioEnergy Center in Vero Beach, Florida in June, 2012. The facility is designed to produce 8 million gallons per year of fuel-grade bioethanol and 6MW of electrical power, with upwards of 2MW exported to the electrical grid. Construction of the Indian River BioEnergy Center was completed on-time and within its capital budget of $121 million.
