Interesting.
The good old days when the rationale for such a development was that there was a plant just down the road could make use of the output.
Uniper also own farm land just across the road from the power plant which, I think, may have some sort of connection with that process.
Interestingly, now the station is finally closing, there seems to be a lot of activity on that field area so I'm wondering if they are starting preparation for the construction site by extracting as much useful stuff from the soil as they can before burying all the field area under construction plant.
I must do some more research.
