Commodity Production Costs Report
Renewable Diesel from Soybean Oil & Hydrogen (Propane By-Product)
Biodiesel Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents a techno-economic analysis of Renewable Diesel production from soybean oil in the United States. The process employed is a hydroprocessing similar Neste Oil NExBTL. In this case, propane is generated as by-product.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Biodiesel production and related Biodiesel production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Biodiesel production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Biodiesel plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Biodiesel plant operating costs (Opex).
The Biodiesel production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Biodiesel plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Biodiesel plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
