Economics of Modular Biopower

Explore the cost savings potential in modular biopower systems, analyzing fuel costs ($/per million Btu) for biomass, diesel, natural gas, propane, electricity, across different energy regimes and load sizes. Compare energy prices for small distributed generation, large central station generators, and off-grid solutions. Evaluate BioMax system economics alongside genset, PV, and conventional grid options.

  1. Economics of Modular Biopower

  2. Fuel Cost Savings Drive BioMax Economics (US Prices) Fuel costs ($ per million Btu) -$10 $0 $10 $20 $30 $40 $50 $60 Biomass Diesel Fuel Natural Gas Propane Electricity Biomass -$50 to $150/ton (negative cost if avoiding disposal) Diesel $3.00 to $6.00/gallon Natural gas $1.00 to $2.00/therm Propane $1.75 to $3.00 per gallon Electricity $0.10 to 0.20/kWh

  3. Energy Regimes Very High Very Small Very Small Distributed Generation (Battery and solar) Energy Price ($/kWh) Small Distributed Generation (Grid and off-grid) Large Central Station Generators (Grid – based) Small Very Large Load Size (Watts)
