High entropy alloys: new metal?
High Entropy Alloys are an emerging class of materials, composed of five or more elements, forming fascinating/novel lattice structures. This 18-page report reviews 100 recent HEA patents, and predicts generative AI will unlock transformational catalysts and materials in the next decade.
-
Compressor costs: a simple overview?
This data-file aims to give a helpful, basic overview of the $40bn pa compressor market, between centrifugal, reciprocating and screw compressors. A typical industrial unit is 50kW and costs $850/kW on an installed basis. Companies and efficiency calculations are also given.

Global power: what grid mix is most stable?
Energy importing countries value stable electricity prices. Hence this 18-page report evaluates the optimal grid mix, after taking stability into account? Recent gas price volatility will encourage further diversification for developed world importers, while coal+solar could dominate emerging world growth. Our forecasts are revised.

Leading companies in high entropy alloys?
This data-file evaluates 100 patents, filed over the past decade, by leading companies in high entropy alloys, and by academic institutions. 20 companies stood out, developing harder and more resistant tools for machining/drilling, alloys that can withstand extreme temperatures, and novel surface coatings.

Heavy truck costs: diesel, gas, electric or hydrogen?
Heavy truck costs are estimated at $0.14 per ton-kilometer, for a truck typically carrying 15 tons of load and traversing over 150,000 miles per annum. Today these trucks consume 10Mbpd of diesel and their costs absorb 4% of post-tax incomes. Hydrogen trucks would be 45-75% more costly, but from 2026, we are starting to see…

Marcellus shale: well completion parameters?
This data-file tracks a sample of Marcellus shale well completion parameters, such as lateral length, stage count, proppant and water use and shut-in pressure. Together, these variables explain 40-50% of the variance in shale well productivity, implying the other 50-60% is down to skill and technology, from operators and service providers?

Global electricity: by source, by use, by region?
Global electricity supply-demand is disaggregated in this data-file, by source, by use, by region, from 1990 to 2050, triangulating across all of our other models in the energy transition, and culminating in over 50 fascinating charts, which can be viewed in this data-file. Global electricity demand rises 3x by 2050 in our outlook.

Levelized cost of electricity: stress-testing LCOE?
This data-file summarizes the levelized cost of electricity, across 35 different generation sources, covering 20 different data-fields for each source. Costs of generating electricity can vary from 2-200 c/kWh. The is more variability within categories than between them. Numbers can readily be stress-tested in the data-file.

Renewables+gas LCOEs versus standalone gas turbines?
Levelized costs of electricity depend as much on the system being electrified as the energy sources used to electrify it. This data-file captures solar+gas LCOEs (in c/kWh), when meeting different load profiles, as a function of solar capex (in $/kW), gas prices (in $/mcf), and the relative utilization of solar vs gas.

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 2035, reflecting all of our research into Europe’s energy transition. 2024-25 gas markets were supported by inventory draw-downs, but LNG imports step up from 110MTpa to 120MTpa through 2030, before softening again through 2035.
