Coal-to-gas switching: what CO2 abatement cost?
…of coal-to-gas switching will be. Whereas the less gas you build, and the more under-supplied gas markets are, then the higher the CO2 abatement cost of coal-to-gas switching will be….
Coal versus gas: explaining the CO2 intensity?
…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…
Gas turbines: operating parameters?
…for gas turbines in the energy transition is published here. Leading companies in gas turbines are profiled here. Gas turbine operating parameters are compiled for a dozen gas turbine models…
Power functions: how would gas shortages change the cost curve?
…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…
Do Methane Leaks Detract from Natural Gas?
…be much higher for associated gas in oil basins than non-associated gas in gas basins. The Marcellus is the lowest-leak basin in our sample at 0.1%, versus the Permian, Bakken…
Gas fractionation: NGL economics?
…energy. The costs of gas fractionation require a gas processing spread of $0.7/mcf for a 10% IRR off $2/mcf input gas, or in turn, an average NGL sales price of…
Phasing out gas: five hidden consequences?
…(note and data-file below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2019/12/15/global-gas-catch-methane-if-you-can/ https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/gas-pipelines-how-much-energy-co2-and-methane-leaks/ (4) Bankrupted distributors? Once c75% of the customers have left a gas network, it will become very difficult for these gas distributors to remain…
Renewables: can oil and gas assets “demand shift”?
…report is to assess whether the oil and gas industry can generate any incremental income via demand-shifting. We find oil and gas assets are generally less capable of demand-shifting, compared…
European gas and power model: natural gas supply-demand?
This data-file is our European gas supply demand model. Balances are assessed in European gas and power markets from 1990 to 2030, reflecting all of our research into the energy…
Gas diffusion: how will record prices resolve?
…to gas-rich countries, compared with exporting their gas. They are quantified on pages 13-14. Who benefits? We outline examples of leading companies in gas-rich countries on pages 15-16. This includes…
