Description
Mod 000003:
The purpose of this modification is to:
1. Extend the Application Due Date to May 23, 2011, 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
Mod 000002:
The purpose of this modification is to:
1. Delete the reference to syngas in the following paragraph of Section I.3.
DOE is seeking applications to develop technology and processes that yield a finished fuel (blendstock), infrastructure-ready hydrocarbon, and/or biofuel-enabling chemical product. The successful applicants will design and operate fully integrated (all unit process operations, including recycle loops) processes that will ultimately be capable of reaching steady state and generating long term, continuous data sufficient to validate the process. The upgrading process will be instrumented such that all relevant process parameters can be continuously monitored and logged throughout the course of experimental activities. This effort will include the utilization of syngas from at least three different biomass feedstocks with two of the three being a woody biomass and corn stover. The third feedstock may be any renewable lignocellulosic or algal material chosen by the applicant.
The paragraph has been modified to state:

2. Correct an error in row 186 of the Proforma spreadsheet (the cells should equal the entry in line 184, not the summation of the entries in lines 176, 180, 182, and 184).
Accordingly, the following paragraph of Section IV.C.3.m. is deleted:
Pro formas for various scenarios shall be provided using the format and following the instructions in the "Proforma.xls" document which is available in the "Documentation" section of this FOA posting on FedConnect (https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/). Save the pro formas in a single file named "ProForma.xls" and click on "Add Optional Other Attachments" to attach.
and replaced with:
Pro formas for various scenarios shall be provided using the format and following the instructions in the "Proforma_corrected.xls" document which is available in the "Documentation" section of this FOA posting on FedConnect (https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/). Save the pro formas in a single file named "Proforma_corrected.xls" and click on "Add Optional Other Attachments" to attach.
3. In addition, the Summary of Required Forms/Files table at the end of Section IV.C. is modified as follows:
For the document "Pro forma", the file name "Proforma.xls" is deleted and replaced with "Proforma_corrected.xls".
Mod 000001:
The purpose of this modification is to:
1. Include the "Proforma.xls" document which is available in the "Documentation" section of this FOA posting on FedConnect and is referenced in Section IV.C.3.m.
All other terms and conditions of the Announcement remain the same.
