But don't have any strong reliable data, the 400 SEK was just their estimate. So pretty fluffy.
12
But on the positive side, this is the only option that DIRECTLY addresses CO2 impact of flying, so this can be seen as supporting infrastructure development

... but in practice MUCH lower, since this is an investment, so it is likely that the money will come back, plus a payoff!
26
Very concrete numbers. I met the Trine guys and saw their calculation.
27
CO2 calculation is based on how many liters of kerosene that a household will stop burning because of the solar panels.
