Your gas to power calculation is incorrect/incomplete. Current UK ETS is £60.
Although we don't have figs from the EDR or UJO, here are some general numbers.
From the EIA: Natural Gas: about 7.5 cu ft of gas to make 1 kWh. This includes power plant inefficiency. (we don't actually know the latter).
So, if this is correct, that's 480,000 cu ft per day should produce 64000 kWh per day. Wholesale prices are currently in the 5-8p per kWh at present, and of course we don't know what their sale price actually is or if its is floating or fixed..so that's likely a range of £3000-£5000 per day in revenue gross, I presume they are leasing the generator??.
64000 kWh from gas produces 0.185 kg Co2 per kWh, so that's about 11.5T of Co2. current UK ETS costs are about £52/T, so that's about £600/day in emissions costs leaving £2400-£4400/day before lease costs (if any) so that's £1000-£1800 a day net to UJO.
We don't actually know as they don't tell us what the numbers are... but this should give an approximate ball park at least.
