predominately for industrial pellets for power <strong>and</strong> heat generation <strong>and</strong> the prices being <strong>of</strong>fered ($160 US/tonne delivered) aren’t high enough to make the plant viable. The residential market delivered price inEurope <strong>of</strong> over $350 per tonne suggests that there is room for negotiation with European buyers but theonly prices <strong>of</strong>fered so far are too low. The US market in the northeast does not appear to be sufficientlydeveloped yet to have increased the fuel dem<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> price, to a level that will allow pellets from thisplant to be competitive.A complementary woodchip operation could be developed. The capital requirements are much lower butso are the margins between the cost <strong>of</strong> raw material <strong>and</strong> the price paid for woodchips in the local area.Long distance transportation costs are high for this low energy density fuel so the customer base musttypically be within 150 km <strong>of</strong> the source. There are a limited number <strong>of</strong> potential woodchip fuelcustomers within this range <strong>and</strong> the potential for market growth is limited. The woodchip operation couldalso draw raw biomass away from the pellet business which could be a problem if availability becomeslimited.CBCL Limited Energy Services Executive Summary 4

6 ECONOMIC BENEFITSThe economic benefits associated with the development <strong>of</strong> a biomass fuel business in the AnnapolisDigby region are several:.1 <strong>Wood</strong>lot owners in the region will be provided with an additional market for their harvestedbiomass, including residual material that is currently left in the forest..2 <strong>Wood</strong>lot harvesting contractors will see an increase in business to meet the increased dem<strong>and</strong> forbiomass..3 Increased harvesting activity will lead to increased employment levels in the harvesting business..4 Increased harvesting activity will also lead to increased business for local trucking companiesengaged to haul biomass to the new business <strong>and</strong> to transport processed fuel to markets..5 The availability <strong>of</strong> a lower cost convenient heating fuel in the local area should encourage thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> a local market for increased quantities <strong>of</strong> biomass fuel. Residents, businesses, <strong>and</strong>institutions in the local area that take advantage <strong>of</strong> this new fuel source will see their energy costsreduced, thus freeing up money to spend in the local economy..6 An increased number <strong>of</strong> biomass fired appliances in the local area should lead to an increase inthe development <strong>of</strong> local businesses to sell <strong>and</strong> service this type <strong>of</strong> appliance with acommensurate increase in employment. The local community college in Lawrencetown is<strong>of</strong>fering a renewable energy technology program. Graduates <strong>of</strong> this program would be wellqualified for jobs in the biomass heating appliance business..7 Development <strong>of</strong> a biomass fuel business that is progressive should eventually lead to additionalbusiness creation through research into <strong>and</strong> development <strong>of</strong> new biomass derived fuel products aswell as increased markets..8 Businesses that switch to biomass fuel from fossil fuels will significantly reduce their greenhousegas emissions. The reduction in emissions can be certified as an emission reduction credit whichwould have a small value on current voluntary trading markets in North America <strong>and</strong> highervalues in Europe where cap <strong>and</strong> trade systems are more established. The value <strong>of</strong> these emissionreduction credits will produce an additional revenue source for biomass fuel customers..9 The provincial government silvaculture fee could be used to encourage <strong>and</strong> support greatermanagement <strong>of</strong> woodlots with the resultant thinning waste <strong>of</strong>fering a great source <strong>of</strong> raw materialfor the new business.CBCL Limited Energy Services Economic Benefits 25


7 RISKSAs with any new business venture, there are some inherent risks associated with this business. Some <strong>of</strong>the most significant are as follows:.1 Availability <strong>of</strong> Raw Biomass – local woodlot owners <strong>and</strong> contractors must be convinced <strong>of</strong> thelong term viability <strong>of</strong> the business before they will commit to long term supply contracts.Contractors in particular will be initially cautious since they will be faced with investment costsfor the new equipment needed to obtain the additional biomass fraction <strong>and</strong> bring it to the newbusiness for processing..2 Availability <strong>of</strong> Investment Capital – Investment capital in excess <strong>of</strong> $3 million dollars will likelybe needed to set up the business..3 Availability <strong>of</strong> Biomass Fuel Markets – although the local market shows good potential forgrowth, at least initially it will be too small to absorb much <strong>of</strong> the new business’ production.Export markets will be needed in the short term to sustain the business until the local marketgrows. Export contracts can be difficult to arrange <strong>and</strong> payment can be slow <strong>and</strong> complicated.This could result in cash flow problems during the initial operational phase..4 Biomass processing can be a somewhat hazardous endeavour <strong>and</strong> fires are not uncommon. A firecould put a business out <strong>of</strong> production for an extended period <strong>and</strong> jeopardize customer relations ifalternate supplies can’t be arranged.CBCL Limited Energy Services Risks 26


8 CONCLUSIONSThe high cost <strong>of</strong> fuel oil <strong>and</strong> our high level <strong>of</strong> dependence on it in this province as a heating fuel has ledmany people to explore alternative options to provide building heating. The use <strong>of</strong> biomass as a heatingfuel has been common in Nova Scotia as long as people have lived here due to the cold winters <strong>and</strong>abundant forests. <strong>Wood</strong> fuel for heating purposes is still accomplished primarily with wood stoves <strong>and</strong> isconsidered more <strong>of</strong> a rural tradition. Our province, like the rest <strong>of</strong> Canada, is becoming increasinglyurban, however, which presents problems for the traditional wood burning practices due to air qualityconcerns from particulate emissions when many woodstoves are operating in a small area. City dwellersalso have less space with which to receive, split, stack, <strong>and</strong> store firewood. <strong>Wood</strong> pellets <strong>of</strong>fer thealternative to fuel oil that many homeowners are looking for. The fuel is compact <strong>and</strong> can be stored easilyin any dry location, the appliances can run automatically, <strong>and</strong> the particulate emissions are very low.Our payback analysis in appendix D shows the costs <strong>and</strong> savings associated with switching from fuel oilto wood pellets for a typical residence <strong>and</strong> a typical school. The residential savings <strong>of</strong> over $1300 <strong>and</strong>payback <strong>of</strong> between 6 <strong>and</strong> 8 years could be improved upon if government incentives currently <strong>of</strong>feredonly for supplemental pellet stoves could be extended to whole home pellet boilers <strong>and</strong> furnaces. Theseappliances are being developed <strong>and</strong> manufactured locally <strong>and</strong> should be supported in this manner in orderto grow the local market for pellets <strong>and</strong> make a home bulk delivery system viable.The analysis for the school shows very substantial savings compared with fuel oil <strong>and</strong> a payback <strong>of</strong> lessthan 2 years. Even if the annual maintenance cost <strong>of</strong> the pellet boiler was several times that <strong>of</strong> a fuel oilboiler, the savings would still be substantial <strong>and</strong> the payback very rapid. A locally manufacturedcommercially sized pellet boiler is not expected to be available for another two (2) years but Canadianmade boilers in the correct size range are currently available <strong>and</strong> transportation companies here have theequipment to transport <strong>and</strong> deliver bulk pellet loads. The Nova Scotia Community College has expressedinterest in biomass fuel at some <strong>of</strong> its campuses as have some district health authorities. The desire tohave an institutional market for pellet fuels in Nova Scotia seems to be here but it may need somepolitical assistance to make it reality.European export markets for pellets can be found easily. Several pellet mill equipment vendors in Europehave indicated that they can also broker any plant production to industrial clients in Europe. The averageprices, however, don’t seem to be high enough to cover the anticipated cost <strong>of</strong> production at the plant.The operating cost calculation in Appendix D shows an operating cost per tonne <strong>of</strong> approximately $147per tonne for a 30,000 tonne/yr plant. The export price quoted to us <strong>of</strong> $160 US ($171 Cdn.) delivered inthe UK leaves only $24/tonne to cover transportation <strong>and</strong> plant mark-up. This is insufficient due to thedistances involved <strong>and</strong> the transport <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling costs. Our financial analysis (Appendix A) indicatesthat a pellet price <strong>of</strong> $180/tonne fob plant is required to provide a desirable rate <strong>of</strong> return to attractinvestors to the project. A realistic price l<strong>and</strong>ed in Europe for pellets from this plant would therefore becloser to $230/tonne which is about 35% higher than the initial price we were quoted.The financial analysis also showed that $40/tonne was close to the maximum price that could be paid forraw biomass delivered to the plant. This assumes a roadside price <strong>of</strong> $30/tonne <strong>and</strong> $10/tonne forCBCL Limited Energy Services Conclusions 27


transportation, which is consistent with the prices shown in section 2.1. Existing contractor equipment canbe used to bring round wood to the roadside for sale as sawlogs or pulpwood <strong>and</strong> initially the plant wouldhave to depend on this equipment to harvest additional roundwood from unmerchantable species toachieve the raw material volumes required at the expected costs. Additional material from the recovery <strong>of</strong>harvesting waste would be available but would require contractor investment in new equipment such asslash bundlers at a considerable expense. Contractors may be unwilling to make this investment if theroadside price remains at $30/tonne unless the price paid to woodlot owners for this material is reduced sothe contractors can make sufficient pr<strong>of</strong>it on this material to justify their investment in the newequipment.CBCL Limited Energy Services Conclusions 28
