1. Systems Engineering for Energy Manufacturing Session Moderator: Leon McGinnis Georgia Tech

2. Solar Radiation Gravity Escaping Energy Energy Manufacturing System Material Resources Material Wastes Energy from Environment Energy Produced Waste Energy Energy Available to Consume

3. Energy Manufacturing System Energy from Environment Manufactured Energy Waste Energy Material Resource Material Waste Conversion Process Transport Process At industrial scale, the energy manufacturing system requires a significant amount of infrastructure to support material and energy input, output, and transport.

4. Scale-up Issues Input/Output: Costs, sustainability Process efficiency: Conversion, transport System efficiency: Bounded by process efficiency System lifecycle cost Best process design at bench scale may not be best process design at manufacturing scale.

5. This Session Design optimization of algal production system, Richard Thoms, CFD Research Corp. Continuous Pressure and Vacuum Cake Dewatering Applied to Harvesting Biomass, Barry Perlmutter, BHS-Filtrations, Inc. Systematic Analysis of Direct to Ethanol, Ben McCool, Algenol Biofuels

6. As you listen … What are the scale-up challenges? What new and/or different research is needed to accelerate development of cost effective industrial scale renewable energy manufacturing?
