Bioenergy & Bio-based Chemicals ...

As outlined in the Advanced Energy Initiative, the United States is taking unprecedented steps to increase its domestic supply of alternative and renewable sources of energy. Central to this initiative is the development and commercialization of technologies that use the nation's vast biomass resources—a renewable resource that has the potential of supplying over 1 billion tons per year of biomass—to produce renewable power, bio-based chemical feedstocks and liquid fuels.

ANL Consultants LLC provides a range of support services related to bioenergy and biorefinery commercialization including:  

  • Biomass feedstock selection to identify and secure cost-effective sources of biomass
  • Process technology selection to maximize capital effectiveness
  • Chemical analysis & testing to support technology development and selection
  • Technology due diligence to identify cost-effective technical solutions
  • Government grants & loan guarantees to jump-start technology development and complete project financing

ANL Consultants LLC helps clients identify feedstocks, process technologies, markets and financing sources that form the basis of viable, sustainable and resilient bioenergy business models.

Preparing for the Future ...

ANL Consultants LLC strongly supports initiatives for increasing R&D investments in energy-related science and technology programs, such as those outlined in A Business Plan for America's Energy Future prepared by the American Energy Innovation Council and proposed by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. As recently described by Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the energy race is our new "Sputnik Moment."   

Focus on Biofuels ...

Natural products contained in wood are valuable by-products released during the conversion of wood-to-pulp and wood-to-biofuels. Securing feedstock supplies, processing and isolating these chemicals, and developing markets are the greatest challenges to successful business models. ANL Consultants LLC can help identify cost-effective technologies for processing these valuable by-products, develop product applications, and secure markets that can sustain business models based on renewable resources.

i6 Green Challange ...

The Commerce Department announced the opening of its $12 million i6 Green Challenge to promote clean energy innovation and economic growth. In partnership with the Departments of Agriculture and Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Science Foundation, this year's competition focuses on promoting Proof of Concept Centers, which support all aspects of the entrepreneurship process and allow emerging technologies to mature and demonstrate their market potential.
