Wood pellet supply chain costs – A review and cost optimization analysis

(چکیده مقاله) :
Abstract :

Wood pellet-based electricity production has the potential to increasingly contribute to the achievement of
climate targets. A reduction of supply chain costs could contribute to increased utilization of pellets. Existing
literature on pellet costs was reviewed to explicate cost differences, focusing on the impact of supply chain
design. This was combined with a techno-economic analysis of the impact of different design variables on cost
components, including feedstock type, production location and pellet plant size. The results of this study show
that variation in literature can only be partly attributed to design differences, with large remaining uncertainty.
The cost reduction potential of optimization strategies was found to be limited. Different supply chain design
approaches result in trade-offs between cost components. Increasing the size of pellet plants was calculated to
result in decreased pelletizing and shipping costs, but at the same time leads to increased costs for feedstock
procurement and transport. Supply chain costs are highly dependent on specific supply chain conditions,
including the regional availability of feedstock, and results varied for different pellet plant locations analyzed
within the US. The average calculated costs for a 500 kt/a pellet plant amount to 136 €2017/t pellets, compared to
143 €2017/t pellets for a 50 kt/a pellet plant. The most prominent components across the entire chain are
feedstock costs and pelletizing operating costs, including additional feedstock use for drying. The data used in
this study can be found in the supplementa
