Mr. Gerry Ryan:

The cost of the input to produce a reasonably dense crop of biomass is very significant. Obviously the refit is how one gets paid for using biomass in the power station. Clearly one is related to the other. If there was a higher refit regime, that would affect the economics of it. Based on the current regime, it is not economically feasible.
