"A Memorandum of Understanding was signed post-period with the Georgian subsidiary of Indorama Corporation, one of Asia's leading chemical companies, with which Block is working to define a pilot CO2 injection project. With EU Emissions Trading Scheme ("ETS") prices at around $60/ton, and an estimated cost to store of approximately $12 per ton, the agreement is a significant step forward to developing a commercial pathway toward project development. With upstream and downstream synergies critical for any CCS project, brownfield infrastructure available for re-use, and the conditions for low-cost proven technology, we are excited by how quickly this project continues to develop".
So the last sentence says they are 'excited by how quickly this project continues to develop"
Just a thought now but I wonder if the BOD are thinking that they can get the CCS up and running in say 12-18 months earning a minimum net profit of $10m (as discussed earlier) therefore creating significant free cash flow to either go it alone in the development of our other projects or put us in a much stronger negotiating position regarding the farm out?
As I see it the CCS is virtually risk free and a continuous revenue stream that should only increase with all the industry in the region.
Or we just accept a 20p buy out bid and be done with it!! ;-)
