Calabria,
We are very clear in that it is earnings not revenue.
By the way, you seem to have mentioned previously your initimate knowledge of our "Gippsland contract" for steam. (You have mentioned their name without their permission in prior posts). I wonder if you would be willing to update the market on this one at this point in time?
Maybe you can explain the key differences between Coldry fuel which is very reactive and acts as a great fuel for boilers that need to meet spikes in steam demand versus denser fuel (typically briquetted) which banks well but doesn't have the same reactivity to steam demand as Coldry.
(This is the whole surface area contact debate which we didnt get to finish). When Coldry was being used, the boiler very rarely fell below 700kpa of pressure and returned very quickly towards 900kpa, thus avoiding the load sharing with the LPG back-up boiler. When Coldry joins other more denser solid fuel in the fuel mix for steam boilers, Coldry acts as the highly reactive fuel to the denser fuel's baseload (be it briquetted biomass or coal). This makes operations more cost effective and provides for greater fuel stability.
This point about surface area contact can be seen in how the European biomass market has evolved. Initially they started briquetting biomass, now they all pelletise their biomass. Pellets have a higher surface area that allows for a more efficient conversion of thermal energy.
Big chunky briquettes as a solid fuel form (either biomass or coal) are a thing of the past but will likely stick around due to their "heat banking" efficiency, but banking heat or setting heat baseload is not where the money is for solid fuel. Its all in the fuel that can react quick enough to replace the reactivity you would get from gas.
