Return On Equity

The revenue generated by the value-added products pays for: the coal feed, refinery capital investment with annual additions and improvements, and annual operating costs for labor, materials, equipment, process water, electricity, etc., plus yielding a large profit.

The profits are robust and while the coal price is relatively insensitive to changing market conditions the value of the product stream follows the price of oil. A very high return on equity from 24% for smaller facilities, on up to 232% for larger ones is possible because high value products are produced and a more efficient fuel is available for power generation. Typical numbers for the process tell the story best: At current (and relatively stable) prices, a Coal21^st ™ refinery could expect to pay $30 per ton for coal, but would produce roughly $300 per ton for products. That is a powerful incentive! Contact us to find out what the numbers could look like for your unique scenario.
