"Steady_T" responds to naysayer's P2O concerns

------------------QUOTE----------------
That's the one monster issue that all these pyrolysis waste-to-fuel startups face--finding anyone who will buy their "fuel" for a price that doesn't lose them money.
-------------------------------------------

You seem to have misunderstood the issue.

While what you say is technically correct, prior pyrolysis startups can't find anyone that will buy their fuel at a price that doesn't lose them money. That is because they can't find anyone that will pay $100/bbl. Their cost of production is much higher than what JBII projects.

Even if JBII cost projections are off by 150%, they will have no problem making a profit selling the output at WTI prices.

We will find out soon how problematic selling the output is.

I think you will be quite happy when your concerns are put to rest and the sales are made.

Your argument was fine until you got to the "what if" part.

The IsleChem report was not "what if"....it was "what is".

What it said is that the output is a mixture of hydrocarbons of specific weight ranges and amount, with very little contaminants.

That is "what is".

Control of the inputs is a requirement for all industrial processes.

You might as well say "what if" they put a gallon of Mercury in the processor, the fuel will be contaminated and no one would buy it.
