The Feasibility Study considers:  

INPUT: Disposition of local landfills:

• Is it the intention of the authorities for the new plant to eliminate local landfills or, will the plant be concerned only with the daily delivery of new waste materials?

• What will be the total daily quantity and substance of the materials to be delivered?

Type of waste:

• Will the waste materials delivered, include industrial, hazardous and agricultural waste to the plant?

• If so, in what frequency and quantity?

Delivery:

• How,  when and by what means will deliveries be made to the facility?

• This is a complicated metric requiring considerable research.

Future growth:

• The facility needs to consider the future growth of the area (city and regional area) so as to allow for growth (increased input) over a period of twenty years.

Expected results:

• The study will deliver its findings to the client such that a five year financial projection will indicate the total overheads expressed by detailed line items for every category of expense contrasted against expected off-setting revenues.

• Revenues will be expressed as a function of generated KWH’s or in m3 of SynGas, factored at the desired rates. The figures will indicate break-even operations as well as expressing increasing graduations matching the inputted flows of materials to be gasified.

• Allowances will reflect the capacity of the plant which will match the expected growth of the serviced areas. Equally, consideration will be given to increasing overheads as well as increases in the cost of the generated power to the local power company(s).

• The client is expected to pay a fee to cover the cost of the Feasibility Study. From this we pay our expenses including, travel, the rental of office space and salaries to local personnel retained to assist in researching and obtaining the data to be used in the study. In general, it is expected that a period of 3 months will be required to deliver the completed study.

If desired we can provide access to considerable funding. Once the lender has reviewed the Feasibility Study and met with the local officials and developers, funds will be made available (first draw) to the PPC to cover the costs of engaging the design team and beginning drafting detailed construction plans. At this time the client will also draw from the lenders a payment of $150,000 to recoup funds paid for the Study.

Following the above, Caribex will begin writing the formal Business Plan. In this case, payment would be made from a pre-approved draw reflected in the preliminary budget and again, a period of 3 months is expected for us to deliver the completed plan.

The Business Plan includes letters of intent from local vendors and contractors based on their review of a set of preliminary site plans and specifications.

It is the aim of the Business Plan to engage as many local vendors and contractors as possible so as to retain the greatest amount of the construction and materials funding in the local area.
