…and jet engines; why glass fiber and carbon fiber are used in wind turbine blades; why traces of Rare Earth metals are introduced into high-pressure pipelines for gas transportation or…
…costs and CO2 credentials look more challenging for bio-plastics or alcohol-to-jet fuels. $449.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Challenges for the bio-ethanol industry are re-capped on pages 2-3, building off of…
Vehicle fuel economy and energy efficiency are quantified in this data-file, looking across different transportation types: cars, trucks, buses, hybrids, electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen cars, planes, trains, helicopters, plus other…
…ships or planes. Today’s lithium ion batteries store 200Wh/kg. In a best case scenario, this could reach 1,250 Wh/kg. Oil products contain 12,000Wh/kg. Thus a battery-powered Class 8 truck will…
…expected for buses and heavy trucks, at c15-years, while the longest service lives are expected for new planes, ships and trains at 25-35 years. The longest-lasting vehicles in our data-set…
…efficient. This is visible in the title chart. And we have modelled the economics of container ships, bulk carriers, LNG shipping, commercial aviation, mine trucks, electric railways, pipelines and other…
…quantified on page 11. Our favorite analogy for explaining the shortfall is via the energy consumption of planes, which can in principle reach 80 passenger miles per gallon. Jet engines…
…in 2022 Increasing mobility. Vehicle miles driven per capita has increased by 45% from 1976 to 2022 (0.8% pa). We also think that the rise of aviation (data here) has…
Super-alloys have exceptionally high strength and temperature resistance. They help to enable 6GTpa of decarbonization, across efficient gas turbines, jet engines (whether fueled by oil, hydrogen or e-fuels), vehicle parts,…
…cost uses of landfill gas in heat and power can also make good sense. But vast subsidies for landfill gas upgrading, RNG vehicles and biogas-to-jet may not be cost-effective. Our…
