This study undertakes technoeconomic analysis of commercial production of hydro-processed renewable jet (HRJ) fuel from camelina oil in the Canadian Prairies. An engineering economic model designed in SuperPro Designer® investigated capital investment, scale, and profitability of producing HRJ and co-products (biodiesel, naphtha, LPG, and propane) based on biorefinery plant sizes of 112.5-675 million L annum. Under base case scenario, the minimum selling price (MSP) of HRJ was $1.06 L for a biorefinery plant with size of 225 million L. However, it could range from $0.40 to $1.71 L given variations in plant capacity, feedstock cost, and co-product credits. MSP is highly sensitive to camelina feedstock cost and co-product credits, with little sensitivity to capital cost, discount rate, plant capacity, and hydrogen cost. Marginal and average cost curves suggest the region could support an HRJ plant capacity of up to 675 million L annum (capital investment of $167 million).
本研究对在加拿大草原地区用荠蓝油生产氢化可再生喷气燃料（HRJ）的商业化进行了技术经济分析。基于生物精炼厂规模为 1.125 亿至 6.75 亿升/年，使用 SuperPro Designer®设计的工程经济模型，研究了生产 HRJ 和副产品（生物柴油、石脑油、液化石油气和丙烷）的资本投资、规模和盈利能力。在基本情况下，生物精炼厂规模为 2.25 亿升/年时，HRJ 的最低销售价格（MSP）为 1.06 加元/升。但是，鉴于工厂产能、原料成本和副产品信贷的变化，MSP 的范围可能在 0.40 美元至 1.71 美元/升之间。MSP 对荠蓝原料成本和副产品信贷高度敏感，对资本成本、贴现率、工厂产能和氢气成本的敏感性较低。边际和平均成本曲线表明，该地区可支持产能高达 6.75 亿升/年的 HRJ 工厂（资本投资 1.67 亿美元）。
