…economics of electric pumps, which are used to move liquids in industrial applications, for commercial/domestic use such as within heat pumps, for demand shifting, for supercritical CO2, in geothermal applications,…
…was blamed on deficient valve-testing procedures, which allowed LNG to become isolated, heat up, expand, breach the pipeline and explode. US regulators asked for information on 64 items before permitting…
…may cause its circuit breaker to trip. Hence some homes may need upgraded grid connections to add electric vehicle chargers or heat pumps. Office buildings that have crossed our screens…
…timely electricity supplies from the grid, although our outlook differs for green hydrogen, heat pumps and electric vehicles (pages 6-7). Most controversial are the outlooks for power electronics, power cables…
…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,…
…it is used for the chassis/enclosure of data-center racks and other components, in switchgears, fans, heat sinks, etc. Advanced polymers are the single most important material, both by mass and…
…consumers such as power plants, LNG plants, ammonia plants, hydrogen reformers, industrial heating and households. Hence in the title chart above, we have attempted to build up the methane intensity…
…0.025eV energy level that promotes fission. Instead, fast neutrons are reflected back within the reactor core, absorbed directly as heat in liquid metal, and can also breed more fissile isotopes…
…is different from the corn-to-ethanol value chain because it generates net electricity and heat via its waste products. It is also more productive as quantified on page 3. Our base…
