Tom<br>
<br>
I am sure this price level is achieveable - BUT BUT
BUT - there is a major<br>
challege that must be overcommed.<br>
<br>
You need some where you can have 5-10 similar
gasifiers operating for 10 of<br>
thousans of hours each with in reachable distance
from their "parent (s)"<br>
and this alone needs 50 - 100 mio $ on top of the
market price for the<br>
electricity - and it is possible to maintain a
stable and bright and not<br>
religious brain capacity for a decade or two.<br>
<br>
On top of that you need to start with a good idea
and that is where most<br>
principles fail.<br>
And what does that mean?<br>
Not too complex - with a potential to handle the
challenges that will come<br>
in an ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE way!!!<br>
<br>
Examples - Vølund - Nexterra - CFBs-Repotec and this
type of gasifiers will<br>
alvays have the challenge og tar/perticle gas
handling issues - personally I<br>
believe it is too complex to handle in a competitive
way.<br>
FCC - may be large scale - but catalyst and gasifier
is a challenge<br>
2-3 stage - Viking - double feuer - TKE - and the
likes have high<br>
temperature challenges and reduction challenges and
bed stability issues -<br>
variation in gaspermeability etc Stirling show a
large drop in efficiency if<br>
upscaled above 50-75 kW thus the biomass handling
systems becomes very small<br>
and sensitive.<br>
Entrained flow are very big and needs extensive
pretreatment of the fuel.<br>
<br>
Many things will work for some time if nursed
properly by the enthusiastic<br>
developers.<br>

Emne: Re: [Gasification] 2 MWe Gasifier at
University of British Columbia,<br>
Vancouver, Canada<br>
<br>
Thomas,<br>
<br>
You seem to be the bearer of good news.<br>
<br>
Can you deliver a (3 stage) gasifier(s) to deliver 2
MWe to a grid in<br>
Alaska? What would you expect the capital and
operating costs to be?<br>
<br>
We have a few small communities with electrical
loads of 1-2 MWe. Power is<br>
currently supplied from diesel generators for USD
$0.44-$0.65/kWh. Good<br>
clean wood chips are available at $40-50% MC and
$USD 85-100/dry ton. #2<br>
heating oil costs about $4.40 or about $32/MMBtu
(HHV). Most communities<br>
just want to produce power. Heat distribution does
not exist but they could<br>
probably sell heat in a small loop for about
$20/MMBtu. Is there a future<br>
for gasification in these communities?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Tom Miles<br>
