Abstract: A process for optimizing values of profit or gross margin based on process parameters used to process fuel having a desired fuel property is described. The process includes: (i) receiving a predetermined value of a first property of a fuel derived from biomass; (ii) retrieving a first different sets of values of one or more process parameters associated with a process that converts biomass to fuel, and the first different sets of values of the one or more process parameters are based on the predetermined value of the first fuel property; (iii) generating estimated values for cost or revenue associated with the first different sets of values of the one or more process parameters; and (iv) identifying, from the first different sets of values, a first set of values of one or more process parameters that approaches an optimum profit or gross margin for the process.
