DEPOT 1 is where feedstock is gathered :

1. DEPOT 1is where feedstock is gathered: Gather feedstock from the forest (5 - 8 small Douglas fir twigs from the marked tree. Each twig can be about 6 inches long). Place feedstock materials into sacks to transport. Take a picture doing your best impression of a tree. Code phrase: Gathering point DEPOT 2is where feedstock is gathered: Gather feedstock from the forest (5 - 8 small Douglas fir twigs from the marked tree. Each twig can be about 6 inches long). Place feedstock materials into sacks to transport. Do to congested logging roads, there has been a delay in transportation. Deduct 2 points from your total score at the end.

Code phrase: Biomass harvest DEPOT 3is where feedstock is gathered: Gather feedstock from the forest (5 - 8 small Douglas fir twigs from the marked tree. Each twig can be about 6 inches long). Place feedstock materials into sacks to transport. Due to this site’s location, you are able to transport more quickly by railcar. Add 1 point to your total score at the end. Take a picture doing your best impression of a tree. Code word: Feedstock

2. PRE-PROCESSING SITE 1 is where woody biomass begins to be broken down to make conversion easier: Using the feedstock gathered from depot sites, remove the needles from the twigs. Place the needles in the metal container. Keep the twigs in the bag. This particular lignin separates nicely from the cellulose. Add 1 point to your total score at the end. Take a picture of your group “breaking it down” Code phrase: Lignocellulosic degradation. PRE-PROCESSING SITE 2is where woody biomass begins to be broken down to make conversion easier: Using the feedstock gathered from depot sites, remove the needles from the twigs. Place the needles in the metal container. Keep the twigs in the bag. This symbolizes the start of lignocellulosic break down.

3. CONVERSION SITE is where fermentation, distillation, hydrolysis and refinement occurs: Add hot water and some lemon to the metal container to represent fermentation and distillation. Carry soaking biomass to a secondary conversion site (refinery).

4. REFINERY SITE Strain the needles out of the liquid (bi-products). Put the liquid back in the metal container and add a few sugar cubes. Put the strained materials to the sack. Next, come up with at least one way that you could use the bi-products in the sack.

5. CONSUMPTION SITE is where the final product is bought and used by consumers: Pour your biofuel into holding tanks (cups) and enjoy.  The groups that arrived first were able to fill the demand for biofuels first; therefore, If you were the first group back, add 3 points to your total score; second group, add 2 points; third group, add 1 point.
