"Do you know offhand if anyone has done a material
Post# of 43064
For anyone who really cares to know the cost and price per gallon, I would encourage them to contact PTOI directly and ask about the nature of what goes into a processor (type, price per lb, sustainable supply, arm's length or not) and what comes out of the processor (type, market price, sustainable demand, arm's length). From there a person can easily calculate the cost per gallon and determine whether it's worthwhile to run the processor at all.
The energy required to heat the material to get pyrolysis going isn't highly significant whether the heat comes from off gas or electric heaters. When you hear that someone wants to calculate cost per gallon based on the energy used, that person is barking up the wrong tree. Per gallon, even the cost of electric heat will be an insignificant part of the cost.
But if anyone has any data, please share with Samgere so he can review it and give his opinion.
