[Gasification] Karlsruhe Institute of Technology bioliq® pilot project

Tom,

 

You can say that any pilot project is pricey. If the intent is proof of concept then the costs won’t represent a commercial production facility. Even the first few plants will require some subsidy to compete with fossil fuels so it really depends on the long term vision of the public funding agencies. 

 

We have already seen some investors back out of a couple of biomass projects because of low cost shale gas. They were probably just in it to develop the project and would leave anyway.

Rather pricey system for 1 ton/day yield. It only proves that with enough money, any process can be made to  work technically, but economically? There are much less expensive ways to do this. Wonder if there will be a #2 system. Going to get rough to put these deals together with the dropping crude oil pricing. 

Sincerely,
