Comment on Fracking in Sussex: The Battle of Balcombe by Michael Baker

Tim, you’ve repeated the sentence “The meeting was covered by BBC radio and …”

Also, ‘porosity’ is not interchangeable with ‘permeability’ {your “… ‘conventional’ oil and gas, extracted from porous rock, shale is relatively impermeable …”}. Shale has to be relatively highly porous, or it would not contain any gas. The difference of shale is the small size of the pores. Permeability, the measure of the ease of flow through a porous medium, could be thought of as interconnected porosity.

What financial penalties will the company have to pay WHEN the first 1.5 magnitude quake occurs?

NADA I am guessing!

Thank you for your comments.

The emissions reduction figure is based purely on the combustion performance of the plant. Shipping 50,000 tonnes of wood on a ship straight to port (and without any road haulage to Tilbury) can be thought to be fairly ‘green’ given the volumes involved.

The energy costs of felling the timber, chipping it and drying it is a good question…

The structures on the jetty are ship unloaders, in this case dust-suppressing vacuum ship unloaders, linked to an elutriator (or de-dusting building).If you’d like more detailed info, email me at timprobert@millicentmedia.com for some slides.
