The business and economic aspects of biomass-based products development
Integrated Performance Outcomes
Financial Capital
Generate competitive rates of return for its investors
Pay above-average compensation to its employees that exceeds “livable wage” standard
Human Capital
Result in higher rates of innovation and intellectual property creation
Minimize unwanted employee turnover
Encourage entrepreneurial spin-offs
Social Capital
The enterprise contributes to the economic, social and environmental well-being of the communities that it is located in, and deliberately structures its core business processes to contribute to the growth of social equity.
Natural Capital
The enterprise radically reduces consumption of minerals, biological products, energy and water in an effort to eventually become part of a “closed loop” industrial ecology. Long-term, the enterprise contributes to the “re-weaving” of the natural ecology that has already been destroyed (restoration).
Basics of process design
Untreated biomass
Biomass treatment methods
Biomass Logistics
Handling aspects - material properties
Biomass process design
Step 1 – Resource Assessment
Step 2 - Conduct market analysis
Step 3 - Conduct feasibility studies and roadmap activities
Step 4 - Benchmarking: best practices and lessons learned
Description
Solving Break-Even Analysis Problems
Total Costs = Total Revenue
TC = TR
TFC + TVC = P × X
TFC + (V × X) = P × X
Break-Even Sales
S = TFC / ( 1 - V / P )
S = TFC / CMR
CMR = 1 - V / P = (P - V) / P
Break-Even Price
V = Vd + (Vp × P) = Variable Costs per unit
Payback Period
Payback Period (t) = SC / [ P(x) – V(x) - RC ]
Break-Even Sales (S) = (P)(x)(t)
