Third-party analysis has shown that Coskata's cost targets are the best in the ethanol industry, and will be able to produce ethanol from a wide variety of input materials.
At each point in the three-step conversion process, Coskata delivers streamlined capital and operational costs including:
Meaningful cost advantages at the front-end, given our ability to use a wide variety of lower-cost input materials
Ability to extract the entire energy value of the input material
Significant reduction of transportation cost issues and constraints given ability to build plants near local source material supply, and sell the ethanol directly to large population centers
Excellent efficiency and performance advantages given the energy conversion rates and ethanol yields seen from the Coskata process.
No back-end solids handling or other costly labor/capital allocation expenses
Potential to be an energy positive process, allowing Coskata the ability to sell excess energy to co-located facilities
Lower energy usage requirements at biofermentation (low temperature, low pressure, no back end solids handling)
Ultimately, we believe that through ongoing technology development and our focus on operational and logistical efficiency, Coskata will become the lowest cost producer of ethanol and subsequently a leading biofuels company both domestically and globally.
