To complement the figure 27 , the table 1 shows a quantitative and qualitative comparison of the main properties of interest. The investment cost should be considered as an order of magnitude, which can vary considerably (downwards) for emerging technologies, and possibly upwards if a significant proportion of the price is linked to the price of raw materials....
