I've tried a guess, thoughts welcome.3 Jun 2024 13:01
Trying to calculate (very roughly) what revenue be generated from the pilot kiln. Can only use what info Paul has already mentioned, along with some speculative numbers. I'm basing it on the kiln running 365 days a year once up and running at capacity, along with charging £100 a tonne to (get rid basically) Paul mentioned landfill can be £120/tonne hence my figure. Difficult getting an actual price per kg of H, it varies quite a lot depending which sites I look at but I'm going for £2 per kilo.
So input 365x40 tonne @ £100/t = £1.46m
Output. 365x2500kg @ £2/kg = £1.82m
Based on the above then close to a combined £3.5m/year. Obviously minus running costs etc etc. Although there could well be other financial gains through power generation etc?
Then you add the scale up potential from larger kilns with increased input/output, plus expansion in sites which is a totally unknown.
Imagine if every large city or even large town in UK were to sign up to using phe tech, then possibly Europe and beyond. Can but dream, but the potential revenue looks to be huge.
