SYNERGETICS<br />

7. Methanol Production Cost<br />

For the production of 1,000 tonnes/day of fuel-grade methanol the calculated<br />

production cost per year is US $0.28/litre or ECU 0.25/litre. This has been<br />

calculated with a typical feedstock cost of ECU 9.5/MWh and 12 % annuity.<br />

Furthermore, in the calculated cost there has been no credit taken for the<br />

available production of heat for distant heating.<br />

Exchange rates (PostGirot, 26 September 1997):<br />

1 USD = 7.50 SEK<br />

1 DEM = 4.29 SEK<br />

1 ECU = 8.50 (set rate by Authors).<br />

8. Commercial Demonstration<br />

Ecotr<strong>af</strong>fic R&D AB<br />

For the commercial demonstration, the subsequent phase of efforts will clearly<br />

focus on selecting a raw materials base, a site, a process configuration, product<br />

slate, and a commercial investor partnership and alliances which will meet the<br />

following criteria:<br />

• Robust investment object in terms of product flexibility.<br />

• Sustainable long term operation.<br />

• Plant scale minimum to meet commercial demonstration objective.<br />

• Transport fuel produced which will be compatible with major automotive<br />

actors’ long range views.<br />

• Overall economics to provide a commercial return <strong>af</strong>ter allowing for<br />

compensation for small scale and short term market aberrations in pricing<br />

of competing fossil-based fuels.<br />

• Possibility to organise a substantial fleet demonstration for the biomass<br />

derived fuel.<br />

An overriding consideration is that the selection of project specifications shall<br />

be made in such a way that a successful commercial demonstration is as far as<br />

possible assured - i.e., a commercial return on the partnership’s risk capital<br />

shall be likely in view of the parameters at hand.<br />
