Calculation Assumptions:
Wood pellet calorific value = 4.2 GJ/ton, biomass furnace (LRF) efficiency = 72.5%.
Natural gas calorific value = 35.8 MJ/m³, gas furnace (WRF) efficiency = 92%.
Diesel calorific value = 35.9 MJ/liter, diesel furnace (WRF) efficiency = 90%.
All fuel prices held constant over the 5-year projection. Maintenance and capital costs not included.
