  25. Economics of Biomass to LiquidsEconomic Framework • BTL – Fuels require political support on international level (tax, mandate, etc) • CER can help to increase economics (for non-annex 1 countries) Production cost Pyrolysis gasification, FT-Synthesis Biomass Transport Biomass Harvest & Collection Mineral Oil Tax Refinery Conversion Crude Delivered (Capacity, 1 mil tpa) (Fossil) at Sources: Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe

  26. 40% - 60% Labour cost (European basis) 32 Straw 18 Transportion of straw 8 Slurry transport Fast pyroylsis Oxygen 5 18 Gasification and FT- synthesis Staff 5 12 2 Economics of Biomass to LiquidsProduction Cost Estimate Sources: Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe

  27. Economics of Biomass to LiquidsCosts of Feedstocks USD / t USD / MMBTU Natural Gas Coal (High Caloric Value) Coal (Low Caloric Value) Straw (Germany) Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (Malaysia)

  28. Summary • Major technologies in the BTL process chain are commercially available today • Economics of BTL depend to a great extent on feedstock sourcing – Asia is predestined to utilize their rich biomass resources for BTL • A political framework, incentives and CDM are crucial for the deployment of BTL • Lurgi offer‘s the entire process chain for BTL
