Gator, Thanks for your continued DD and thanks for driving thru Allendale next week for more DD. Much appreciated. My opinion on the costs for the plant are that the major items will be the torrefaction machine of course and the concrete work. The building will be a minor part of the total project. Today's news listed the plant cost at 3.65M. I believe the concrete work will cost a significant amount because not only the building requires it, but the driveways into the plant will have to be able to support heavy trucks loaded with biowaste and biocoal. Putting gravel on a dirt field won't be good enough. I don't know if a rail connection is necessary or not. The prices seem about right. I owned a large self-storage facility in the past, and put up these same type buildings, although a bit smaller in scale. They do go up easily and price includes doors and all. The site prep work takes a while, but once done, the building will go up in no time. The next set of pics might not look much different, but when the building is delivered, it will be up quick. The building may have to be a bit higher, the full-sized machine is 30' tall if we are getting one of the large models.

Thanks again Gator,
RL
