Cost of BP Verenuim Biofuels Facility
The BP-Verenium facility will cost between $250 million and $300 million to build and create 140 fulltime jobs in the refinery and farm. That?s pretty pricey ? about $7 to $8 to build each gallon of capacity, more than three times the cost of ethanol refineries.It will also take 20,000 acres to grow enough plants to turn out 36 million gallons of ethanol. - Read More

Capex costs for various bifouel processes
The problems with biomass gasification aren?t technical, they are economic. According to the EIA?s Annual Energy Outlook 2006, capital costs are $15,000-20,000 per installed barrel for a conventional oil refinery, $20,000-$30,000 for an ethanol plant, around $40,000 for gas-to-liquids (GTL), around $60,000 for coal-to-liquids, and around $120,000-$140,000 for biomass-to-liquids. - Read More

Farming for Ethanol costs
For ethanol production to be attractive to a global energy market, and in order to support the infrastructure surrounding it, it must be done on a massive scale. For example, development on an initial minimum of 100,000 hectares (247,000 acres) will require a capital investment of approximately $200 million. (so 2000 $ per ha)
