Break-even point of the Shell gasification unit

Thread Content

I heard that, overall, 3 months of continuous operation (at full load) by Shell is the break-even point for this facility, right? I would appreciate the advice from experts! This post was last edited by Passerby1974 on 2009-2-27 at 19:33.]

The break-even point should be calculable; when calculating FSR, the break-even point is expressed in terms of the load factor. This is related to your product costs (the sum of fixed costs and variable costs) as well as the selling price of your products; more directly, it is primarily related to your costs for coal, electricity, water, and gas, as well as related expenses such as financial costs (mainly investment and depreciation), as well as the selling price of your products. It’s necessary to do a specific calculation to determine whether 3 months of continuous operation represents the break-even point; however, coal prices vary from plant to plant, and continuous operation also depends on the load level.

A continuous operation of Shell for 3 months is the break-even point for this facility, which is highly unlikely. The things that are produced are not valuable

Another requirement is that the load on the gasification unit should generally be above 70%
