$700/ton
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the social cost of carbon is around $39 per ton, and you can argue the number higher or lower. For now, though, a price starting around $30 per ton would put Oregon or Washington in line with other programs and close to the economist-approved price. Looking into the future, the not-for-profit Investor Responsibility Research Center prices carbon at $28.24 per ton in the year 2012, and as such they say annual carbon costs would total $92.8 billion. With an average price of $20 per ton of carbon dioxide–which is consistent with European Union prices over the past two years–the S&P 500 companies, should they start paying full value for their carbon emissions, will have to write a collective check for $60 billion to $80 billion each year. From the total investment cost, Birr 4.43 million or 16.69% is required in foreign currency. The project is financially viable with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 25.50% and a net present value (NPV) of Birr 20.04 million, discounted at 10%. The project can create employment opportunities for 82 persons. The main use of carbon black is in the industry of automobile tires, as a pigment. In Europe, carbon black of vegetable origin is used as a food coloring. The current production of carbon black is 18 billion pounds per year, from which 90% it is used in rubber applications. The average price of carbon black is $700/ton. A Pyrolyx plant with two or three reactor sections produces approx. 10,000 tons of Pyrolyx carbon black per annum in a three-shift operation, with a capacity utilization of 90% and a granule input of 65 to 70 tons per day.
