Just because of the large difference in value and unchanged unit, could you double-check? The new combination of value and unit seems more plausible to me, but then there was a bug in the old CSVs, right?

Yes the ebiofuel investment here was always faulty but we never used it in PyPSA-Eur so I removed it now, together with the VOM for the same reasons. They are better calculated directly in PyPSA-Eur in my mind.
