…heat, seen most notably in replacing internal combustion engine vehicles (15-20% efficient) with electric vehicles (80-90% efficient), both on an apples-to-apples basis. Our other data-files give more underlying detail and…
…of cement, which is blended with aggregates to yield 30GTpa of concrete in the construction industry; some of the most extensively produced materials in industrial civilization. Cement is also important…
…here). Low costs decarbonization matters for consumers. As an example, the average developed world household currently spends $750-950 per year on heating, emitting 2.6T of CO2. No one wants to…
…medieval peasant. Harvesting wood as a heating fuel is expensive, inconvenient and prone to risks. $199.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Wood as a heating fuel: volume, mass and energy? Wood…
…thumb, 30% of the energy inputs needed to make a typical material are electricity, 25% are heat and 45% are other input materials. Ranges. All of these numbers can vary…
…grid bottlenecks, especially at industrial facilities that can harness the 700-800ºC waste heat. Outside of the generation business, remaining SKUs comprise transfer switches to connect generators to loads, pressure washers,…
The purpose of this data-file is to assess how ‘industrial activity’ has changed, in China and in the West (US and Europe), from 1999-2019, as a proxy for the phenomenon…
CO2 has unusual physical properties, which make small-scale liquefaction and transport much more viable than we had expected. The energy burden is 70% less than other industrial gases. Total CCS…
…10%, around 100 times per day. We want to ramp solar in the energy transition. But how can industrial processes truly be ‘powered by solar’? Buffering the volatility creates opportunities…
How do commodities perform in recessions? Industrial metals are usually hit hardest, falling 35% peak-to-trough. Energy price spikes partly cause two-thirds of recessions, then typically trade back to pre-recession levels….
