Expansion and Update of the R&D Feedstock Carbon Intensity Calculator (FD-CIC) for R&D GREET 2025

Summary

This document details the expansion and update of the R&D Feedstock Carbon Intensity Calculator (R&D FD-CIC), a tool designed to estimate the carbon intensity of biofuel feedstocks and assess the impact of different farming practices. The 2025 update integrated new feedstocks, such as winter and spring wheat and spring canola, and significantly enhanced the soil organic carbon modeling by switching to the DayCent model. This ongoing development aims to provide more accurate and comprehensive data for biofuel research and development, with the report outlining the methodology and presenting comparative emission results between the 2023 and 2025 versions of the tool.
