REFERENCE MATERIAL Appendix A – Definitions 1 acre cultivation equivalent means a suite of operations including inoculation, cultivation, harvest, and processing sized with the capability to process and produce gallons of algal biofuel intermediate per day. The modeled BTO baseline system described in the MYPP is conceived around an open raceway pond. As an example, 1 acre of cultivation in the modeled baseline would require subsequent unit operations at the following ideal scales: Capacity Unit units concentration (g/l) (continuous)* Pond 1 acre 0.5 Primary settling 53,453 gal/acre-day 0.5 to 10 DAF 2,673 gal/acre-day 10 to 60 Centrifuge 446 gal/acre-day 60 to 200 Homogenizer 134 gal/acre-day 200 to 200 Solvent Loop 337 gal/acre-day 5:1 solvent:dry biomass Assumes 30% extractable Biofuel Intermediate 8 gal/acre-day lipid and 90% extraction (extracted lipid) efficiency *Assumes 100% efficiency and no blowdown/purge from recycle This information is presented to describe the intent of BTO in establishing a 1 acre cultivation equivalent requirement for the FOA. To meet the intent of the FOA, applicants are expected to present their proposed system, which is clearly unlikely to exactly match the model baseline, in comparable terms. “Algae”, “Algal” refer to microalgae, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria. Aquatic plants such as duckweed and eelgrass are not algae. “Amendment” means a revision to a Funding Opportunity Announcement "Applicant" means the legal entity or individual signing the Application. This entity or individual may be one organization or a single entity representing a group of organizations (such as a Consortium) that has chosen to submit a single Application in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement. "Application" means the documentation submitted in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement. 42
“Authorized Organization Representative (AOR)” is the person with assigned privileges who is authorized to submit grant applications through Grants.gov on behalf of an organization. The privileges are assigned by the organization’s E-Business Point of Contact designated in the SAM. "Award" means the written documentation executed by a DOE Contracting Officer, after an Applicant is selected, which contains the negotiated terms and conditions for providing Financial Assistance to the Applicant. A Financial Assistance Award may be either a Grant or a Cooperative Agreement. "Budget" means the cost expenditure plan submitted in the Application, including both the DOE contribution and the Applicant Cost Share. "Consortium (plural consortia)" means the group of organizations or individuals that have chosen to submit a single Application in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement.

"Cooperative Agreement" means a Financial Assistance instrument used by DOE to transfer money or property when the principal purpose of the transaction is to accomplish a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by Federal statute, and Substantial Involvement (see definition below) is anticipated between DOE and the Applicant during the performance of the contemplated activity. Refer to 10 CFR 600.5 for additional information regarding cooperative agreements. "Cost Sharing" means the respective share of Total Project Costs to be contributed by the Applicant and by DOE. The percentage of Applicant Cost Share is to be applied to the Total Project Cost (i.e., the sum of Applicant plus DOE Cost Shares) rather than to the DOE contribution alone. “Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number” is a unique nine-character identification number issued by Dun and Bradstreet (D&B). Organizations must have a DUNS number prior to registering in the SAM.
