Abstract
AbstractBiomass research has been a cornerstone of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) renewable energy development and deployment efforts during the last 25 years. Today, as the true cost of the nation's reliance on imported oil becomes increasingly clear, the DOE Biomass Program is poised to bring biomass‐derived biofuels to the market as a sustainable, domestic alternative to petroleum‐derived fuels. To ensure that the program is focused on the activities critical to achieving this goal, the program is implementing systems engineering processes, practices, and tools to guide informed decision‐making as biomass‐to‐biofuel systems are advanced from concept to commercial adoption. The program is using CORE, a Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) software tool, to organize, coordinate, and document the program goals, milestones, and project tasks in a central repository. CORE is facilitating management and communication of program status, through the automated generation of accurate and up‐to‐date custom reports, Gantt charts, and tables in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Excel formats, which are widely available to all program participants.
