[Terrapreta] Economic Analysis of Pyrolysis Units

[Minot Weld]

Dear List,

I am a newbie from New Jersey.  I am working with a green-building,  
community revitalization group, slouching towards what we are calling  
'new ruralism'.  We are very interested in using pyrolysis biochar on  
our soils; we are equally interested in bio-fuel production.  I am  
researching commercially available systems, weighing portable vs.  
stationary units.  I am wondering if anyone has analyzed pyrolysis  
business models: costing machinery, production inputs, labor, etc.  
and valuing outputs: fuel, char, bio-chemicals.  As we will be  
seeking investors, and crafting pyrolysis as a stand-alone  
enterprise, this information is essential.  Any recommendations,  
references, referrals, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,  Minot Weld
