Oil and War: ten conclusions from WWII?
…first truly inter-continental pipelines were the result. In 1943, ‘Big Inch’ was brought into service, a 1,254-mile x 24” line carrying oil from East Texas, via Illinois, to New Jersey….
Pump costs: energy economics of electric pumps?
…Equations from flow speed, Reynolds Numbers, pipeline diameter and pipeline surface roughness). Energy costs of a pump are best minimized by using wider pipes with smoother internal surfaces (chart above)….
The green hydrogen economy: a summary?
…pipeline will inherently cost 2-10x more than a comparable gas pipeline. This is down to fluid dynamics, as the hydrogen line, all else equal, will flow 25% less energy (due…
Carbon capture and storage: research conclusions?
…strange gas to compress (note here). CO2 pipelines run above 100-bar, where CO2 becomes super-critical and behaves more like a liquid (e.g., it can be pumped). CO2 can also be…
Metals and materials: strength and temperature resistance?
…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…
Hydrogen: lost in transportation?
…hydrogen pipelines and chemical hydrogen carriers (e.g., ammonia). Midstream costs will be 2-10x higher than comparable gas value chains, while up to 50% of hydrogen’s embedded energy may be lost…
Super-alloys: what role in energy transition?
…CCS pipelines, will blend in traces of super-alloys, so that they can flow greater volumes at higher pressures. Materials typically only comprise 10-30% of the costs of pipelines, so it…
Flare gas capture: the economics?
…the gas, cleaning the gas, and compressing the gas into a regional pipeline. $399.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Generally, double-digit returns are achievable at a large new shale pad, by…
Sustainable forestry: a new listed entity?
