In order to receive Contract for Difference support, the required ACT Efficiency of the conversion process must be met. The efficiency is calculated using the equation below:
ACT Efficiency =
Where:
- Eproducts bio is the energy (MJ) from Biomass in the Advanced Fuel which is produced from the material to which Ebio relates,
- Ebio is the energy (MJ) from Biomass in the material from which the Advanced Fuel to which Eproducts bio relates was produced;
- Einputs bio is any energy (MJ) used in the production of the Advanced Fuel to which Eproducts bio relates.
The ACT Efficiency must exceed the ACT Efficiency Standard of 60% over a specified amount of time known as the ACT Efficiency Period (typically weekly) in order to qualify for CfD support [1].
