Case 2 feasibility

The feasibility and sensitivity analysis for Case 2 with pellets and oil as fuel are shown in fig 4. It can be concluded that with today’s pellet prices a feasible payback period cannot be found during the plants estimated lifetime. With annual pellet price increases of between 5-10% the feasible payback periods start to be shorter than the estimated plant lifetime. With oil as fuel feasible payback periods shorter than the estimated plant lifetime can be found already with both countries’ current prices.
