Third-party analysis has shown that
Coskata's cost targets are the best in the ethanol industry, and
will be able to produce ethanol from a wide variety of input
materials.
At each point in the three-step conversion process, Coskata delivers streamlined capital and operational costs including:
- Meaningful cost advantages at the front-end,
given our ability to use a wide variety of lower-cost input materials
- Ability to extract the entire energy value of
the input material
- Significant reduction of transportation cost
issues and constraints given ability to build plants near local source
material supply, and sell the ethanol directly to large population
centers
- Excellent efficiency and performance advantages
given the energy conversion rates and ethanol yields seen from the
Coskata process.
- No back-end solids handling or other costly
labor/capital allocation expenses
- Potential to be an energy positive process,
allowing Coskata the ability to sell excess energy to co-located
facilities
- Lower energy usage requirements at
biofermentation (low temperature, low pressure, no back end solids
handling)
Ultimately, we believe that through ongoing technology development and our focus on operational and logistical efficiency, Coskata will become the lowest cost producer of ethanol and subsequently a leading biofuels company both domestically and globally. |
