…of gas averaged $8.2/mcf, which translates into 2.7c/kWh-th. Thus the premium for natural gas was around 1.5c/kWh-th. Directly substituting coal fuel for gas fuel therefore incurred a cost of $80/ton…
…combined cycle gas plants average 57% efficiencies, and we are particularly excited about emerging gas-fired CHP systems that can reach 80-90% total thermal efficiencies (note below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2021/07/01/gas-turbines-what-market-size-in-energy-transition/ (3) What about…
A typical simple-cycle gas turbine is sized at 200MW, and achieves 38% efficiency, as super-heated gases at 1,250ºC temperature and 100-bar pressure expand to drive a turbine. The exhaust gas…
…and power-electronics; and less gas, until gas prices normalized. Self-defeatingly, we would also expect less short-term decarbonization via coal-to-gas switching. Across our research we have modelled over 150 different technologies…

What are the loss rates in gas distribution? 1-4% of all the gas that flows into downstream gas distribution networks may fail to be metered and monetized. Stated leakage rates…
