Biomass Economy

Abstract

The objective of this effort was to perform an updated life cycle cost assessment of biomass energy conversion systems capable of meeting facility and process energy needs of Eglin AFB FL. System capabilities examined in this study were 25 MWe and 15-MWe. Results of this study are that although the biomass fuel is available at a reasonable cost, construction and other operating costs are too high to justify implementation of this technology based on the current cost of electricity at Eglin AFB FL.
