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.
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
