Fast-charge the electric vehicles with gas?
…is spared the strain of sudden demand surges. Is upside suggested for gas? Utilisation of the fast-charging infrastructure is much more important to the overall economics than the gas price….
Global gas: catch methane if you can?
…gas. If 3.5% of methane is leaked, then natural gas is, debatably, no greener than coal. Pages 5-8 quantify methane emissions and leaks across the global gas industry, including a…
Methane emissions detract from natural gas?
This short model calculates 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…
Leading Companies in Pipeline Gas Distribution?
…They are commercialising next-generation materials, leak monitoring and remote metering solutions. Larger and listed companies with recent innovations in gas distribution include Air Products, Kogas, Tokyo Gas, Shawcor and Ecolab….
Decarbonization in Europe: but is there enough gas?
…power markets are modelled on page 4, showing how demand will rise at c1% per year, plus the relative growth rates of renewables and gas. The impacts on gas markets…
Coal-to-gas switching: the economics?
…easily stress-test the relative impacts of different coal prices, gas prices, CO2 prices, capex costs and efficiency factors. CO2 prices accelerate coal-to-gas switching, under our base case, long-term pricing assumptions….
Methane Leaks from Downstream Gas Distribution
This data-file tabulates the methane emissions from downstream gas distribution across 160 US gas networks, which cover 1.1M miles of mains, 61M metered customers and >90% of the country’s retail…
Gas Pipelines: how much energy, CO2 and methane leaks?
This file aggregates granular data for 40 major US gas pipelines which transport 45TCF of gas per annum across 185,000 miles; and for 3,200 compressors at 640 related compressor stations….
How to decarbonize gas value chains?
…end gas prices of $4-14/mcf and other CO2 mitigation options up to $800/ton. This 15-page report outlines how to optimize a decarbonized gas value chain, securitizing forestry-based carbon commitments in…
Is gas a competitive truck-fuel?
…logistical. Based on real-world data, we think maintenance costs will be 20-100% higher for gas trucks (below). Gas-fired spark plugs need replacing every 60,000 miles. Re-fuelling LNG trucks requires extra…
