The EU Sub on Advanced Biofuels reported plant sizes in the range of 100 to 200 MW and capital costs of to 3,450/kW depending on the scale (€1.00/litre to €1,850 €1.85/litre). The capital costs range from (NREL) to (Värmland). €0.75/litre €2.70/litre Operating and Maintenance Costs Anderson only presented the combined operating and maintenance costs (Costs for wages, insurance for employees and chemical, water and ash disposal) of (€0.08/litre). €0.10/kg NREL did not provide a breakdown of the operating costs. Start-up Costs The start-up costs are included in the costs reported.
