For Australia, it was not worth it, except to get a few thousand off the purchase price (then quit VPP as soon as humanly possible). My experience was their algorithm is terrible and it gets into a charge+discharge cycle for no reason for h

Yeah it makes sense to build 4 car factories and compete on quality/cost/safety which benefits the consumer. But having 2 electricity distribution networks, water pipes, sewerage, is simply a waste. Even privatising the land title

Doing the math, methane is around 30x worse than CO2. So say you pulled down 30 units of CO2 and 1 unit of Methane leaked (3%), you’re back to square one. Not to mention the Methane will be burned into CO2 again so this closed cycle isn’t s
