Energy and AI: the power and the glory?
…Gas demand grows. Annual sales of CCGTs and back-up gensets in the US both rise by 2.5x? This is the most detailed report we have written to-date on the implications…
CO2 intensity of shale: breakdown by category?
…and personnel, lifting, flaring, methane leaks, gas gathering and compression for gas transport. Our base case estimate is that the Scope 1&2 CO2 intensity of shale oil is around 25…
US CO2 and Methane Intensity by Basin
The CO2 intensity of oil and gas production is tabulated for 425 distinct company positions across 12 distinct US onshore basins in this data-file. Using the data, we can break down…
Qnergy: reliable remote power to mitigate methane?
…particularly economical for mitigating methane emissions, with a potential abatement cost of $20/ton of CO2-equivalents avoided. 750,000 bleeding pneumatic devices around the oil and gas industry are the largest single source…
Financial and CO2 Costs of Heaters, Boilers and Heat Pumps
This data-file models the costs and CO2 intensities of four different heating solutions: oil-fired furnaces, gas boilers, electric heaters and electrically-powered heat pumps. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Gas-fired boilers…
Nature based solutions to climate change: a summary
…stop heating their homes. But we do want to stop the CO2 emissions. The most economic option is to use an efficient natural gas boiler, then carbon-offset the natural gas…
Green Hydrogen Economy: Holy Roman Empire?
…Economy. Well over 80% of 2050’s hydrogen market is likely to be blue hydrogen. This is ultimately derived from natural gas energy (increasing gas demand). And it is still not…
Hydrogen: lost in transportation?
…the fluid mechanics. Costs will inherently be 2-10x higher than for natural gas. Blending hydrogen into pre-existing gas pipelines is assessed on pages 13-14. This option introduces unfathomable complexity for…
Fuel cells: performance, efficiency and decline rates?
…To date, over 90% of US fuel cell power plants have been powered by natural gas. As part of the energy transition, many commentators are hoping to use fuel cells…
Wet sand: what impacts on shale breakevens and CO2?
A fully decarbonized energy system may still require 85Mbpd of oil and 375TCF of gas. Hence a focus of our research is to find improved technologies that can improve the…
