Conference ·
OSTI ID:95622
 [1]
  1. Waste Fuels, Inc., Tallahassee, FL (United States)

The reasons to seek unconventional fuels are to either insure a fuel supply or to reduce existing fuel costs. The keys to successfully utilizing unconventional fuel are: (1) build as much flexibility as possible in the variety, quality, quantity and deliverability of the unconventional fuel sources that you can utilize; (2) provide maximum pricing flexibility; (3) fully commit to work with unconventional fuel suppliers; and to (4) consider unconventional fuel operations as a market opportunity. Unconventional fuels operations are well suited to marginal existing operations and can also supplement new startups with uncertain fuel supplies. Unconventional fuel operations can also help existing facilities generate above market profits for those willing to accommodate the wide market swings inherent in this fledgling industry.
