Sargas had nothing to do with the Stockholm based plant (Värtan). They are simply using that as a reference for the technology. Although the plant does not use the emission capture system at all, they are simply referring to the plant as being the type of plant that could be “accessorised” with the emission capture technology.

I know very little about Sargas as a company. Even going through the search engines of a couple of Sweden’s biggest newspapers show up nothing.

As far as I can see, the technology haven’t been tested. If it is half as good as they portray it to be it’s still interesting technology and Malta could benefit from being part of trials, but to hail these as a sure way of fixing Malta’s energy problems – as the PL are trying to do – seems highly dishonest.

Dan bis-serjeta’?

He’s after some consultancy work.

In the meantime, Marco Cremona does not know if he is coming or going re Sargas judging by comments he made on Facebook.

Ciccio, my dear boy, Malta may aim to be fossil-fuel free, but it will never be fossil-free. Edward Scicluna, Alex Sceberras Trigona, Karmenu Vella…

Of course. Here’s why:

Charity = l-Istrina = Peppi Azzopardi = il-hero tal-Maltin.

It’s called excellence by association, see?

The Labour Party and Sargas have claimed that Stockholm was awarded the Green Capital of Europe 2010 Award thanks to the Sargas Carbon Dioxide technology.

I’ve been through the website below, which is about Stockholm, the Green Capital of Europe 2010, and have checked some of the “related documents” at the bottom of the webpage, particularly the following informative documents:

1. The City of Stockholm’s Climate Initiatives; and

2. About Stockholm European Green Capital 2010

I found absolutely no reference to Sargas, or to biomass technology, or to carbon dioxide capture and sequestration.

But more importantly, it is stated more than once in those documents that the City of Stockholm’s aim to be fossil fuel-free by 2050. I don’t see how the Sargas plants – which must run on fossil fuels because otherwise how will they capture carbon dioxide – will fit into that strategy.

Who do they think they are fooling?

I followed the whole (long) proceedings on the Corriere website.

A few genuine tears were shed by Elsa Fornero (her English is the best ever spoken, and written, by an Italian) but on the whole the money minister’s performance was impeccable.

The delivery of each and every one of them was masterclass.

Who needs politicians?
