BC Bugwood Envirochem Services Inc. sufficient product for market. ABRI supplies two parallel units to form a 100 tpd installation. Larger plant sizes may be appropriate for bugwood utilization to address the very large quantities of biomass material. However, it may be most useful to distribute bio-liquid plants in various remote areas, rather than a central production facility. The fundamental advantage of the bio-liquid conversion approach is the ability to concentrate the bugwood energy into a liquid fuel while still in the remote area and ship it to market more efficiently than shipping the original biomass. Bugwood converts approximately 60% by weight to bio-liquid. Table 4.4.1 indicates the potential cost structure of a bio-liquid facility in a way comparable to other potential systems in this study. Revenue was based on using the bio-liquid product to displace oil used to augment power boilers. Oil prices are currently fluctuating and increasing so a value of $9 /GJ was used as an expected average. Table 4.4.1 Annual Cost Overview for a 100 tonne/day Bio-liquid Plant Capital cost Salaries Maintenance Operating Power Costs Feedstock harvesting Feedstock transport (100km) Product transport Total Cost Revenue from Product Sales Carbon Credits Total Revenue Profit ROI Profit ($40/m3) ROI ($40/m3) Cdn$ per year $ 3,500,000 $ 120,000 $ 175,000 $ 59,532 $ 2,500,574 $ 858,195 $ 635,813 $ 4,349,115 $ 3,447,180 $ 494,670 $ 3,941,851 $ (407,264) negative $ (1,773,369) negative Comments Total of all equipment Based on Annual Salaries table 5% of capital cost 1,751 MW-hr @ $34/MW-hr Harvesting cost (@ $68.55/bd tonne) Truck transport ($4/m3 + $4.5/100km) 300 km @ $.0635/t-km +$10/t loading 383,020 GJ @ $9. /GJ 86.1 t/TJ @ $15/tonne The above analysis indicates that this technology is not profitable under the pre-conditions cited. It should be noted that the high cost of harvesting is almost solely responsible for this result. For those situations, where bugwood can be made available from a harvest that is attributed to a different cost centre (such as sawmill feedstock), this technology could be economically viable. In the Ontario demonstration project described above, (see box 2) the feedstock is brought to the roadside by others and not costed against the ABRI system. 4.4.6 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Implications Two GHG scenarios were evaluated and plotted in Figure 4.4.4 with respect to a 100 tonne/day bio-liquid plant. The first is situated where grid electrical power is readily available. The second considers off-grid power generation from diesel, sufficient to operate the bio-liquid conversion system. In both cases it was assumed that the bio-liquid product would be used to displace heating oil (bunker C) within BC. Page 52
