This data-file quantifies the energy needed to produce steam, for industrial heat, power, chemicals, CCS plants and hydrogen reforming. As rules of thumb, low pressure saturated steam at 100◦C requires…
…and 500kWh/ton in the 2030s. Five opportunities excite us and warrant partial de-risking in this 19-page report. Could DAC even beat batteries and hydrogen in smoothing renewable-heavy grids? $599.00 – Purchase Checkout…

…GW-scale grid connections of large data-centers, proposed green hydrogen projects and aluminium plants. Also included are our notes on each category, data into 5GW of US micro-grids and assessments of…
…as both oxidation and hydrogenation catalysts, conducting electricity, and adsorbing gases, such as oxygen and hydrogen. Production is complex. 55% of global mined output is from South Africa and 25%…
…energy transition. Natural gas is the lowest carbon fossil fuel, with 54% of its combustion energy coming from hydrogen in the methane molecule (CH4). Hence gas ramps by 2.2x to…
…of the vehicle fleet, which can achieve c3.5x uplifts in efficiency. We see less potential in “bad batteries”, for example, backing up the grid with hydrogen, which reduces total system…
