London is to get a ring of veg oil fueled electricity generation stations, according to a report on the BBC. What is not clear from the report, which says the company planning to build up to eight stations, is the economics. At what price does veg oil become uneconomical and is there really enough used veg oil within an 80 km radius of each plant sustain power stations each generataing enough electricty for 100 000 homes? Blue NG has changed its message about sourcing biofuel possibly as a result of getting planning permission to build the first plant in Becton, East London. |
