energy cost vs gas

There's a lot of talk about it reduction in pollution but what is the cost difference between a plasma torch and using conventional natural gas.

There is no one difference in cost between using plasma versus oil burners. The cost of electricity varies from country to country. In the trial done in Sweden the authors said there was an approximately 300 k energy cost saving.

 I would add that shortly will be mandatory for companies to include in their quarterly and annual reports the level of their GHG and CO2 emissions for investors to be aware of and act accordingly.

It's not natural gas they use currently, it's a type of diesel, specifically bunker fuel. Cost-wise, one of the reasons they keep using the burners they do is because many if not most of those pelletization plants use bunker fuel to power their furnaces. Its some of the lowest quality, cheapest fuel available. Dirty, awful stuff but, inertia aside, this fuel is so cheap that even with the ...more
