6. Investment Estimate
Ecotraffic R&D AB
The investment cost estimate as well as the calculated methanol production
cost are based on 1 st quarter of 1997 and were based on cost information given
by respective supplier or vendor. Some costs were assessed using in-house
information and applying accepted factoring methods as degression exponents,
scale-up factors etc.
Moreover, the capital investment cost was calculated with an interest of 8 %
and a project lifetime of 15 years, hence, an annuity of some 12 %. Thus, the
estimated investment cost for the biomass to methanol production plant is 417
MMUSD or US$1,800/kW. An investment cost break-down is illustrated below
in Figure 2.
