Case Study
16. Galway provided a detailed analysis of potential customers for client’s biomass product in various
region. Carried out a comprehensive economic analysis of the LNG delivery infrastructure to help the
client make a comparison of the delivery costs of re-gasified LNG versus bio-mass pellets to customers.
Analysed and developed a model depicting LNG supply from various global sources, different shipping
options as well as various LNG import infrastructure to arrive at a re-gasification tariff. This was then
used to arrive at a final plant gate gas price and compare it with delivered prices of the bio-fuel pellets.
Also, identified possible fuel switching (coal/liquid fuels to alternative fuel) opportunities.

in which its black pellet (biomass fuel) technology can provide overall
lower burner tip fuel costs than re-gasified LNG. To this end, client
engaged Galway:
To carry out an economic evaluation of LNG delivery infrastructure
so that client can better understand the competition from LNG
and thereby better define its marketing plan and position its
development strategy vs. LNG.
Identified and provided a first level validation of potential
customers for clients biomass product in various regions including

• Galway listed existing power plants running on fuel oil which cannot
reasonably access LNG or pipeline gas.
• The list was based on 3rd party research and then supplemented by the
insights/experience of staff who have worked in the region.
• Identified projects which are at the concept stage which could potentially
be induced to use Biomass in place of an alternate fuel (i.e. coal or fuel
oil).
