…here (chart below). The main reasons are methane leaks and flaring. The mean average asset in our sample has a methane leakage rate of 0.21%, and a flaring intensity of…
…Ideal Gas Law, where Density ρ = P x Molecular Weight / RT. Our favored units are in kg/m3. Density of methane in kg/m3 and kWh/m3 The Density of Methane…
…from breaking down methane molecules. Thus the 100-year warming impacts of methane are exacerbated. In other words, the climate impacts of atmospheric hydrogen directly link to the atmospheric impacts of…
…combustion and water gas shift (all exothermic) versus steam methane reactions (endothermic). Energy efficiency of blue hydrogen production is most likely c70%, converting the thermal energy in the methane molecule…
…a process to 1,500ºC with a 1,000ºC flame. Real world flame temperatures will tend to be lower than the adiabatic flame temperatures at 100% equivalent ratios, quoted above for methane,…
Turquoise hydrogen is produced by thermal decomposition of methane at high temperatures, from 600-1,200◦C. Turquoise hydrogen costs are estimated at $1/kg in our base case, or lower, if greater revenues…
This short modelcalculates the impact of methane emissions on the CO2/boe of burning natural gas, compared against coal. With methane emissions fully controlled, burning gas is c60% lower-CO2 than burning…
…of methane leaks, with each medium-bleed device leaking an average of 1.5T of methane per year, comprising 35% of the oil and gas industry’s total emissions (chart below, data here)….
…of the energy from coal combustion is associated with CO2 emissions. Burning gas releases energy as methane (CH4) is converted into CO2 and H2O. In other words, just over half…
