Quality Guidelines for Energy System Studies: Fuel Prices for Selected Feedstocks in NETL Studies
- NETL
The levelized fuel/feedstock price values[1] tobe used in the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy’s (DOE) National EnergyTechnology Laboratory (NETL) energy systems studies aresummarized in ExhibitES-1.In order to account for historically high natural gas price volatility, threecases were included for each natural gas price, a reference case, a high gasprice case (low oil and gas (O&G) resources case), and a low gas price case(high O&G resources case). The basis for these values is discussed in thisguideline. Unless otherwise noted all dollar figures are converted to real 2018dollars and plants are assumed to begin operation in 2023, with an assumed30-year economic life. The feedstocks below correspond with those in the NETLSpecifications for Selected Feedstocks Quality Guidelines for Energy SystemsStudies (QGESS)[[i]].[1] 30-yearlevelized cost for a plant which begins operations in 2023 and runs through theend of 2052.[i] U.S. Department of Energy,National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
