What is BioSTEAM?

BioSTEAM is a fast and flexible package for the design, simulation, and techno-economic analysis of biorefineries under uncertainty. BioSTEAM’s framework is built to streamline and automate early-stage technology evaluations and to enable rigorous sensitivity and uncertainty analyses.

Single-point simulation

Simulate a biorefinery using custom assumptions on finance, design, operation, and performance. Critical economic and environmental sustainability indicators are evaluated through techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA), respectively.

Simulation with uncertainty

Evaluate a biorefinery across a landscape of custom assumptions on finance, design, operation, and performance. TEA and LCA sustainability indicators are presented in the form of the median and 5th, 25th, 75th, and 95th percentiles.
