ZEC Relatively stable selling prices No offtakeNo compliance with EU state aid rules
CES A subsidy in market revenue No offtakeNo compliance with EU state aid rulesSubsidy value is set by (dynamic) market
CM Covering of fixed production costs No offtake (for energy)High price volatility, negative pricesEC acceptance required case by caseShort-term auctionsUnfavorable to units with high fixed costs
Carbon tax/ETS Increasing of costs for coal- and gas-based competitorsCompliance with EU state aid rules No offtakeHigh price volatility, negative prices
Exeltium OfftakeContracted sales of large electricity volume at relatively stable (indexed) price Price volatility in the long term, dependent on the wholesale market price indexOfftakers have a right to withdrawEC acceptance required case by case (probably)
Mankala OfftakeSelling price covers all production costsCompliance with EU state aid rules High risk before and during constructionThe model requires a perfect cooperation of dozens of shareholders
