Capital costs from $99 MM to $112 MM and operating costs from $70 MM/yr to $90 MM /yr . Hydrotreatment is needed for a positive internal rate of return (IRR)
Pyrolysis
Conclusions
--Biomass and waste are promising raw material for biofuels. --The range of biofuels is broad: hydrogen, bioethanol, biodiesel, green gasoline and diesel, biomethanol…. --It is feasible to produce second generation of biofuels but further development is required in purification and reaction technologies to increase water recycle and reuse and increase the yield of the processes.
