The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Simms, from the annual report, page 88, (thanks to Neil Olofsson in the T'gram group)
"As part of the agreed terms, it was specified that the Group will remain as an equity shareholder in NFCP with the final shareholding being determined during the legal process post 31 December 2022 as 28.52%."
The Irish Planning Appeals body, An Bord Pleanála, have finally (after 2 1/2 Years) reached a decision regarding the appeal against the decision to grant permission for Carbon Sole's Bioenergy Park in Stonehall, Shannon, County Clare....
The decision is to,
"GRANT permission for the above proposed development in accordance with the said plans and particulars based on the reasons and considerations under and subject to the conditions set out below."
For those too young to remember the project, here's a video presented by Carbon Sole CEO, Sean Daly

A warehouse full....really? You are funny C909 :-)
One man's 'vast quantities of Biochar' is another man's 'enough biochar to fill a truck for economic shipping'
Oh dear, they can't seem to do anything right, can they C909. Why don't they just put each bag of biochar on a truck and ship it to the customer as soon as it comes out of the gasifier....what twits they are!
I wouldn't expect to hear anything regarding commissioning/start up from the Agrigas plant in Larissa for a few months yet Simms. It was a victim of the September floods in Greece.

According to the Agrigas CEO in September, it was going to take 8 months to sort out.....

"Excited to continue our decade long collaboration with the Napa Recycling & Waste Services (NRWS). Phoenix Energy has just been chosen via an extensive RFP process to help the City of Napa sequester around 6,000 MTCO2e annually by building and operating an advanced gasification plant on the NRWS site. NRWS is the largest producer of compost in Napa Valley and instead of their compost oversized materials and other organics rotting and releasing greenhouse gases at the landfill, Phoenix Energy will do what it does best with woody material and turn it into something useful...in this case renewable energy and biochar. Which goes where? Right back into NRWS compost and Napa agriculture! How’s that for circular? Looking forward to developing this project in 2024!"

A reminder that district heating is a part of Carbon Sole's planned developments with EQTEC in Ireland.
Having said that, planning permission was refused for the Sligo development (related to the site being a former landfill and remediation work required) and the one at Shannon has been waiting for over two years for an appeal decision from the Irish Planning Authority, An Bord Pleanála.
Link to a video explaing the Shannon development, with district heating for the nearby industrial park discussed from around 6:12.

Linkedin post from IDEX yesterday, regarding the partnership agreement signing for the Limoges project,
"On the occasion of the Mayors and Local Authorities Show , Benjamin Fremaux was present to represent IDEX during the signing of a partnership agreement, alongside Guillaume Guérin - Limoges Métropole , Laurence Poirier-Dietz - GRDF and David Le Saint - EQTEC plc , aiming to develop a second generation biomethane production unit. As part of this agreement, GRDF undertakes to contribute to the financing of various studies to remove technological obstacles and help the development of the pyrogasification sector. At the initiative of Limoges Métropole , this project is developed by Idex in partnership with EQTEC plc . This innovative project has the potential to produce up to 100 GWh of biomethane per year, the equivalent of the annual consumption of 10,000 homes. How ? Biomethane will be produced by thermal treatment of dry biomass (forest biomass and wood waste) called pyrogasification and then injected into the GRDF natural gas distribution network . It will thus actively contribute to the decarbonization of the local and national energy system. Although no similar installation exists to date in France, the potential of this technology is considerable: according to projections, it could represent up to 40% of the supply of renewable gas in France by 2050. This agreement partnership is an important step in the realization of this ambitious project and in the emergence of a renewable sector of excellence in France. See you in 2024 for the allocation of specific support systems, as part of a call for projects supported by ADEME ! "

Is there anything you don't know visitinghost?
I just wonder why a brilliant person like yourself is wasting their valuable time posting here?
Thanks for your concern, visitinghost. I think you'd better get in touch with GRDF straight away, before they make a huge mistake....oh, and copy the French government on it too.
I look forward to you posting their replies here,
Many thanks
