Abstract
Conversion economics and risk analysis for simulated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) industrial facilities was performed. Manufacturing costs for the different scenarios assessed ranged from USD 3, 632/t to USD 4, 420/t for CNC and from USD 1, 493/t to USD 1, 899/t for CNF (dry equivalent). Major cost driver identified is pulp. Variations in pulp cost and capital investment have high impact in manufacturing costs and minimum product selling prices of CNC and CNF. Based on the analysis, actions are proposed for improvements in CNC and CNF manufacturing costs.
