Nitrogen Fuel Block

About Nitrogen Fuel Block

Nitrogen Fuel Block is one of the four fuel blocks that keep Upwell structures running; it is the Caldari-side recipe. Citadels, engineering complexes and refineries burn fuel blocks by the hour, and any of the four types works - so the four prices arbitrage against each other. Demand follows how many structures are online in a region, supply follows ice mining.

Frustrated with the inefficiencies involved in tracking multiple fuel types, Thukker logisticians pioneered the development of prepackaged fuel. In YC 111, after a successful trial period, they converted the Tribe's entire starbase network to use fuel blocks. Capsuleers were forced to wait for this innovation while CONCORD dithered over how to handle the transition period, but were finally granted clearance in YC 113. This is a block of fuel designed for Caldari control towers and Standup service modules. Forty blocks are sufficient to run a standard large tower for one hour, while medium and small towers require twenty and ten blocks respectively over the same period. Standup service modules are designed to be fit to Upwell structures such as the advanced Citadel structure line. These service modules consume fuel blocks while running and are capable of using any of the four fuel block types, for maximum convenience.
