[Gasification] New Gasification Project

[Rex Zietsman]

A bit expensive at $200m for 45Mlpa, but, they are able to make the numbers
work clearly. As to 140ktpa dry wood, we have a paper mill taking in 2Mtpa
of wet wood. It can be done, probably not in a shrub forest as Art says.
Range max's out at about 120km for delivery to the mill. I suspect much
longer for a shrub forest.

It gets even worse.  They plan to build their gasification plant in
Lakeview, OR.  That area has what we in Western Oregon call a "shrub forest"
compared to the density and size of the trees along the Pacific Coast.

They must have struck a pretty good financial deal to make them site their
plant in a fairly challenging resource area.

140,000 ton x 2000 lbs x 8000 Btu = 2.24 10^24 Btu of wood
12 million x 130000 Btu = 1.56 10^12 Btu of diesel

1.56 / 2.24 = 69%  efficiency

To get an idea of the amount of fiber:
140,000 / 20 ton (triaxle truck) = 7000 loads per year
7000 / 365 = 19 loads a day. Green wood would be more. Not counting the wood
needed for the lumber.
But those are baby log trucks compared to Michigan's trucks with pup
trailers and 11 axles. No idea how much they can haul in Denver.
