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…
Fast-charge the electric vehicles with gas?
…is spared the strain of sudden demand surges. Is upside suggested for gas? Utilisation of the fast-charging infrastructure is much more important to the overall economics than the gas price….
Global gas: catch methane if you can?
…gas. If 3.5% of methane is leaked, then natural gas is, debatably, no greener than coal. Pages 5-8 quantify methane emissions and leaks across the global gas industry, including a…
Gas industry CO2 per barrel?
…gas processing, LNG liquefaction, LNG tanker distances and pipeline distances. Energy return on energy invested is c20x across piped gas resources and c10x across LNG resources, compared with c7-10x for…
Gas-to-Power Project Economics
This data-file models the economics of constructing a new gas-to-power project, using simple or combined cycle gas turbines, based on technical papers and past projects around the industry. A dozen…
How to decarbonize gas value chains?
…end gas prices of $4-14/mcf and other CO2 mitigation options up to $800/ton. This 15-page report outlines how to optimize a decarbonized gas value chain, securitizing forestry-based carbon commitments in…
Gas Gathering: how much CO2 and Methane?
Gas gathering and gas processing are 50% less CO2 intensive than oil refining. Nevertheless, these processes emitted 18kg of CO2e per boe in 2018, hence the gas industry must strive…
Is gas a competitive truck-fuel?
…logistical. Based on real-world data, we think maintenance costs will be 20-100% higher for gas trucks (below). Gas-fired spark plugs need replacing every 60,000 miles. Re-fuelling LNG trucks requires extra…
Methane emissions detract from natural gas?
This short model calculates the impact of methane emissions on the CO2/boe of burning natural gas, compared against coal. With methane emissions fully controlled, burning gas is c60% lower-CO2 than…
Methane Leaks from Downstream Gas Distribution
This data-file tabulates the methane emissions from downstream gas distribution across 160 US gas networks, which cover 1.1M miles of mains, 61M metered customers and >90% of the country’s retail…
