4. Critical Success Factors<br />
The project has identified critical factors, (including technical, business, market, regulatory, and legal<br />
factors) that impact the potential technical and commercial success of the project<br />
The project has presented adequate plans to recognize, address, and overcome these factors<br />
The project has the opportunity to advance the state of technology and impact the viability of commercial<br />
algal biomass feedstock supply and conversion, through one or more of the following:<br />
i. Cross-Cutting Analysis (ex. economic analysis, sustainability analysis, resource assessments, risk<br />
assessments)<br />
ii. Feedstock Supply R&D (ex. biology, cultivation, resource use, biomass characteristics,<br />
harvesting/dewatering)<br />
iii. Downstream Refining R&D (ex. extraction, conversion, fuel, products, fuel/product infrastructure and<br />
end-use)<br />
iv. Environmental sustainability (example: water use, GMOs, energy consumption)<br />
