Normalised feedstock cost estimates
Feedstock (delivered to the plant as chips/bales) | Cost (2005US$ odt-1) | ||
Low | Mid | High | |
Softwooda | 51.5 | 74.5 | 107.7 |
Straw | 66.1 | 100.9 | 153.9 |
aMid-point is equal to geometric mean of pulplog and forest residue costs only. The geometric mean was chosen because plotting a histogram of estimates indicated a log normal distribution.
