…from $200-1,000/ton, depending on how these variables are stress-tested, with the upper bound describing a facility that is impacted by gas shortages and forced to pay $20/mcf for input gas….
This data-file aggregates granular data into the average size of different types of power plants: wind, solar, nuclear, gas, hydro, coal, biomass, landfill gas and geothermal, by looking across 23,000…
…Four building blocks for a zero-carbon energy mix are outlined on pages 2-5. They include wind, solar, gas-fired CHPs and gas-fired CCGTs. Costs, CO2 intensities and key debates are reviewed…
This 13-page note considers five options to cure emerging energy shortages in the gas and power sectors of countries working hard to decarbonize. Unfortunately, the options are mostly absurd. They…
…aviation gasoline derived from coal hydrogenation. This had an octane rating of 87. However, British Spitfires often had access to higher-grade fuel, 100-octane aviation gasoline, supplied by the United States….
…especially if 50% lower-carbon gas is intended to replace coal as part of the energy transition, per our roadmap to net zero, or more pressingly as Europe faces sustained gas…
The best opportunities for hydrogen in the energy transition will be to decarbonize gas at source via blue and turquoise hydrogen, displacing ‘black hydrogen’ that currently comes from coal, and…
…gases will not (retentate). There are already ‘hundreds’ of deployments for CO2/CH4 separations in the gas industry. But membrane CCS require more than simple molecular sieving (page 3). CCS membranes…
10MTpa of hydrogen is produced in the US, of which 40% is sold by industrial gas companies, 20-25% is generated on site at refineries, 20% at ammonia plants and 15-20%…
…steam engines, then oil-fired engines, and later gas turbines. What is remarkable and under-appreciated when homogenizing coal, oil and gas as “fossil fuels” is that they each tend to harness…
