The economic and financial aspects were assessed using the business and financial modules of the Southern Lights Platform . Figure 8 shows the yearly cash flow throughout the project lifetime , while Figure 9 shows the net present value ( NPV ) evolution over the same period . Table 3 provides a summary of the main financial figures .
Based on these results , the project can be considered an attractive business opportunity . However , the defined ammonia selling price is considerably higher than the market price for gray alternatives ( which can be as low as € 400 / ton ). Therefore , exploring options to reduce the levelized costs or bridge the price gap is strongly recommended .
