…conventional gas plus landfill gas (c25%), nature-based CO2 removals (20-25%), blue hydrogen (30%) and CCS (c33%). Generally these blends do not look too bad on costs, inflating a marginal cost…
The Sabatier process combines CO2 and hydrogen to yield synthetic natural gas using a nickel catalyst at 300-400˚C. Synthetic natural gas costs $100/mcf in order to generate a 10% IRR,…
…global regulations increasingly limit sulphur in exhaust gases to below 50-300ppm (data here). As a result, 250 coal-fired power plants in the US alone have installed 850 flue gas desulfurization…
…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…
…of this coal power to gas by 2030. Converting it to decarbonised gas could save c1bn tons of CO2 emissions per annum. In turn, this could be achieved by 200GW…
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…
This short modelcalculates 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 burning…
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…
…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…
…projects and technical papers, which are tabulated in the data-file. $899.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart In gas value chains, the midstream industry is responsible for moving natural gas, and possibly…
