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…
…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….
…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…
…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….
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…
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….
…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…
…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…
Gas gathering and gas processing are 50% less CO2 intensive than oil refining. Nevertheless, these processes emitted 18kg of CO2e per boe in 2018, hence the gas industry must strive…
The CO2 content of gas fields is going to matter increasingly, for future gas development decisions: CO2 must be lowered to 50ppm before gas can be liquefied, adding cost. Moreover,…
