1, Synthetic fuels. Pioneer Norsk e-Fuel said it had contracted to buy 130,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 for its aviation fuel plant in development in northern Norway. This will provide it with enough carbon dioxide to react with hydrogen to make the fuels it has already contracted to sell to Norwegian and other airlines. Norsk e-Fuel stressed the importance of this deal as a way of building up a large scale and reliable supply chain for CO2 in Europe. California-based Infinium
Hi Chris - in item 5 'Off-shore wind', you mention that the recent Norway project is ~15% more than the UK bid max for the CFD R6, which checks out against the £73 max bid, plus the exchange rate.
But, and sorry to be pedantic, but isn't the Norway price a current price, whilst the UK £73 is a 2012 baseline price, before index linking. After allowing for inflation, I make the UK price ~£100/MWh in today's money.
Good point. Thank you very much! Chris
