    Dear all this is where EPG is going I assume after the AGM lets see how accurate I am on the numbers!. This allows them to survive to fight another day, but I just hope they get an experienced EPC contractor who is not going to stuff it up like the drilling !

    European Gas is conducting a feasibility study to build a 25MW power station at Avion. It will use approximately all of the gas they produce today + the extra they will also need to produce.

    I estimate that total gas production based on their numbers and the fact that they can double production to about the following or 3.6 Pj. PA.

    M3 GJ MWh
    93,600,000 3,600,000 1,000,080

    Gas usage based on .4m3 used per 1kwh for the gas engines (so not much left over)

    M3 GJ MWh
    87,500,000 3,388,175 962,500

    This will provide an approximate return of
    Sales of 12.1 Million Euro PA
    EBITDA of 8.8 Million Euro
    EBIT of 7.8 Million Euro
    NPBT of 6.4 Million Euro
    Operation & Maintenance expenses of 4 Million PA
    Capital Cost 17.5 million Euro on a 10 year amortized loan
    IRR 54%
    Payback 2.5 years
    Interest cost 7%
    Electricity Feed in tariff 70 Euro per MWh Peak 73% production
    Electricity Feed in tariff 35 Euro per MWh Off Peak 27% production
    Energy conversion ratio .4m3 used per 1kwh

    Note:- This is based on a professional model that I use to feasibility studies for the same type of plant in the biomass energy business .

    This does not assume any credits for CERS (Carbon Credits) which if we use the methodology used in China for CMM production created by EcoSecurities Group PLC which might produce the following extra revenue.

    CERS Per annum Price per CER Euro $ Euro
    1,666,667 23 38,333,333

    However I am not sure if this can also be claimed or not or is implicitly included in the feed in tariff. Still trying to find out.

    Example China Project

    24 x 0.5MW generators running on CMM from 4 mines

    • Electricity will be supplied to the mines, offsetting coal-dominated grid electricity imports
    • In conjunction with supply to households
    • Electricity component: 42,000,000 m3 CH4 per year
    • the project is scheduled to begin operating by early 2008
    >To supply the generators, 5 additional CMM extraction pumps will be installed to improve underground drainage > Additionally: an investment analysis of all the alternatives to the project was carried out, and it was demonstrated that the IRR of the project (without CDM financing) was 8%. With CDM, it rises to 49% Estimated ERs: 800,000 tCO2e/year

    Based on this it could get really interesting fast if we added in the CER Revenue.
