              WSU Feedstock Study
• Examined the potential of Northwest
feedstocks to meet the Port’s SAF goal
(75 million gallons)
• Looked at lipids, forest residuals, and
municipal solid waste (MSW)
• Developed cost per gallon of SAF for
purposes of comparison

                                            •  Units are $/gallon and MM
gallons/year produced
•  $/gallon of SAF is dependent
on volume of feedstock and
production facility scale
•  High values are controlled
by pioneer CAPEX
•  Range relates to risk with
current technology

      MSW Partnership Study with King County
• King County Cedar Hills landfill is nearing capacity
• County has explored options for export-by-rail or waste to
energy facilities in the past
• Agreement to co-finance and work collaboratively to evaluate
the opportunity to convert the region’s MSW to liquid fuels in a
way that is economically, socially and technically feasible
• Scope of Work currently in development

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
