Economic Impact of NMMO Pretreatment on Ethanol and Biogas Production from Pinewood
Figure 10
Effects of the price of wood, NMMO, and enzymes on the manufacturing cost of ethanol ((a), (b), and (c)), methane ((d), (e)), and the gasoline equivalent prices ((f), (g), and (h)) for scenarios 1 (▲), 2 (●), 3 (■), and 4 (◆). The dashed line corresponds to average gasoline price in the market. The empty shapes represent the base case values of manufacturing costs. The plant income tax is included in the calculation of the values, but VAT and selling and distribution costs were not added. The gasoline equivalent prices are the prices of ready products and include all expenses (c.f. Table 5).
