…the conductivity of semiconductors, in spreadsheet format, from first principles, as a useful reference file for our broader modelling of semiconductors, from solar panels to electric vehicles. The basic formula…
…to rule them all. However, if you understand the thermodynamics of prime movers, you will inevitably conclude that the world is evolving towards solar, semi-conductors, electro-magnetic motors, lithium batteries and…
…solar inverters and wind converters. Harmonic distortion from solar is particularly interesting and controversial, as discussed on page 11. Active harmonic filters are the most effective antidote to harmonics. Their…
Transaction prices for power generation assets are tabulated in this data-file, capturing 65 deals for gas plants, wind, solar, hydro and nuclear, globally and over time. Median prices are c$1,000/kW,…
…in this database. A breakdown of the top energy transition technologies: We see around 20% of all decarbonization coming from renewables (wind, solar, next-generation nuclear), efficiency technologies that do ‘more…
…economic opportunities in the evolving energy system. These prospects cover electric mobility, gas, digital, plastics, wind, solar and CCS. In each case, we find leading Oil companies among the front-runners….
…much more competitive, below $20/ton. To illustrate the same point another way, photosynthesis’s energy efficiency is around 0.5-1%, compared to today’s solar cells at c17% and next-generation perovskites reaching c35%…
Wind, solar, oil and gas are all capable of supplying comparable energy at comparable prices: 5c/kWh wind and solar is economically competitive with c$50 oil and $6/mcf gas, over a…
…CO2 per ton of hydrogen), pyrolysis, renewable electrolysis, fuel cell electrolysis, solar photoelectrocatalysis and solar photocatalysis. Our conclusion is that natural gas remains the most viable fuel source on a…
…and correlations of traditional investment options: upstream, downstream and chemicals. Page 4 quantifies the lower returns that are likely to be achieved on renewable investment options, such as wind, solar…
