These synthetic fuels are economically competitive with petro-diesel when the crude oil price (COP) is at or above $86 per barrel (based on a 20% rate of return, in January 2008 dollars, with a carbon price of zero). The study used one feedstock of each type—bituminous coal and switchgrass—to evaluate the CTL/CBTL/BTL processes.
