A crude oil price of US$100/bbl results in an approximate cost of €0.56/L The biosyncrude is well suited for energy-dense storage and transport, resulting in lower transportation costs and large biomass delivery areas. With ±30% estimate error, this is between €0.56 per liter (US$2.72-5.03/gallon —Henrich et al.

Background colors of the cells represent the crude oil price required for economic feasibility. 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).

After falling 3% in 2008 and nearly 7% in 2009, largely driven by the economic downturn, energy-related CO 2 emissions do not return to 2005 levels (5,980 million metric tons) until 2027. Coal remains the dominant energy source for electricity generation because of continued reliance on existing coal-fired plants.

Once the capital costs of setting up the facility are recouped, about ten years in this case, all they have are maintenance and operational costs since the energy source is essentially free forever. Clean base load energy is particularly important since that is usually generated by nukes, burning coal or, in the case of Hawaii, oil.
