Exercising allocation of resource uses; Functional Unit: kg FT diesel produced kg FT Naptha produced (what is the CO2 emission to produce I kg FT diesel and 1 kg FT Napth?) Process Inputs: Biomass: 300 kg Upstream fuel: 100 kg Coal: 700 kg Outputs: FT Naptha (product): 20kg, 600 MJ, sale for $200 FT Diesel (product): 100 kg, 4100 MJ, sale for $800 Electricity (co-product): 100 kWh Total CO2 emissions for gasification and FT synthesis: 1000 kg Question: How much biomass/coal/fuel is used to produce 1 kg of Naptha and 1 kg Diesel with gasification and FT synthesis? We assume the coal use of electricity production is 1 kg/kWh electricity, and no other fuel or biomass used for electricity generation. (This is for you to estimate the coal saving by co-product electricity) Allocated by energy content between two products. You should provide following numbers: Biomass use to produce 1 kg diesel? Fuel use to produce 1 kg diesel? Coal use to produce 1 kg diesel? Biomass use to produce 1 kg Naptha? Fuel use to produce 1 kg Naptha? Coal use to produce 1 kg Naptha? Provide your step-by-step calculation. Hint: The first step of allocation inputs to different products is to subtract benefits derived from producing co-product electricity.
