…gas. Hence decarbonization aspirations require coal to be phased out. China coal demand in an energy transition scenario China’s gas demand must therefore rise by 3.5x, from 35bcfd in 2022…
…Outright gas boiler bans could become a political disaster. The most likely outcome is a 0-2% pullback in European gas by 2030. We have also screened leading heat pump manufacturers…
Overview of European shale. Europe has 15 TCM of technically recoverable shale gas resources according to an assessment from the EIA in 2013, which remains the best overview, almost ten…
…(MT, MTpa), British thermal units, the archaic therm; higher heating value versus lower heating value, and real-world gas blends. Gas is a low-carbon fuel as 54% of gas energy comes…
…kWh basis, they are 10x less methane intensive than some of the methane-emitting coal mines plotted above-right. Coal mines often leak more gas than gas assets themselves. One coal mine…
…gas reforming. One limitation has been the use of SMRs for gas reforming, whereas ATRs should allow higher rates of CO2 capture in the future (note here). A growing interest…
…tail gas from the water gas shift reaction of a steam methane reformer, in producing grey or blue hydrogen; and costs $2-3/mcf when separating biomethane out of biogas. For example,…
…gas molecules, partitioned into two halves, separated by a trap door. Above the trap door, sits a tiny demon, who can perceive the motion of the gas molecules. Whenever a…
…carbon capture and storage? CO2 is a greenhouse gas. But it is also an inevitable product of many energy-releasing reactions, from biology, to materials, to industrial energy, because of the…
…is recent enthusiasm to lower combustion emissions by blending hydrogen into gas grids. But materially greater decarbonization occurs by replacing coal/biomass with gas, or even replacing oil products with NGLs….
