RE:RE:How Much Does One Ton Produce???Has cmc provided the profitability analysis somewhere? I'm going from memory of USA market but I recall, when gas is $4 a gallon, $1 goes to the refinery +/- 10 cents. Oil feedstock is $1.50 per gallon, and the other $1.50 is taxes, transport,storage and retail margin. So apples to sort of apples, cmc needs to get it out the gate at $2.50 or less per gallon. Call it 60 cents/L accounting for higher taxes, and cdn exchange. If the feedstock cost for cmc is 11 cents, all in, that's a big advantage over conventional crude at about 40 cents/L. So, what's the processing cost for one of their small batch plants vs a gigantic conventional refinery? Do we have that number? Bueller? Anybody?
