Organization/Approach

• For each major task or objective please address the following:

a) Technical or economic target or objective (provide basis for the targets)

b) All risks associated with meeting these targets or objectives including technical, equipment reliability, business, market, environmental, compliance, legal, and intellectual property, etc.

c) Milestones established to measure progress and financial or performance metrics used to measure progress. Include assumptions and analyses used to establish these metrics.

and metricsf) Future plans and partners involved in completing these tasks

Task – Objective Detail

a) Who are or might be the customers prepared to buy your product?

b) What range of production costs do you need to achieve or what’s the threshold to be successful

c) An evaluation of the dynamics of current or future market shifts on the products you plan to sell.

Market & Customers

a) What is the duration of the window of opportunity to develop this technology within your company and relative to the market?

b) In your estimation, what is the technology you are competing against and what does your approach have to offer that better meets the goals of producing a biofuel or bioproduct(s)?

c) Have you considered issues that could dramatically change the market?

d) After your detailed investigations thus far, what is the state of the economics? What do they tell you about prioritizing further investments?

Competitive Advantage

a) Explain the technology development’s fit to your company’s business

b) Fit with the Biomass Program’s biorefinery pathway approach and Product R&D milestones in those pathways – which ones does your project support?

c) What Stage in the Stage Gate process is your project? (see stage gate guide)

d) Describe the vision for a demonstration phase of a commercial prototype by FY08 – if applicable - and your estimate of readiness for undertaking such a demonstration.

Strategic Fit

Conclusions/Summary

Programmatic information

• Here are some extra slides that show the biorefinery pathways with the specific Product R&D related milestones, Product R&D technical barriers (from Products R&D Multi-Year Technical Plan), and stage gate process slide (see stage gate guide). You do not need to include them in your presentation except to identify which biorefinery pathway/milestones your project supports, technical barriers your project addresses, and what stage your project is in as per the stage gate guide. Also, if you’d like to comment on our milestones in the pathways - are they appropriate/specific enough or should they be more detailed/how.
