Global energy: supply-demand model?
…2030. (4) Pragmatic gas? Another means of re-balancing the global energy system is if global gas production rises at 2.5% per year, which is the number required, and that is…
Air conditioning: energy demand sensitivity?
…rule of thumb is that each 100 Fahrenheit variation will add 26 TWh of electricity demand, which equates to 200bcf of gas demand, or 0.6% upside in total US gas…
North Field: sharing the weight of the world?
…Our global energy balances, gas balances, and the ‘hole’ left by possible Russian gas supply disruptions are quantified on pages 2-4. Thus the Qatari North Field is now the most…
Crop production: what CO2 intensity?
…is N2O emissions, as c0.3-3.0% of all nitrogen fertilizers break down into N2O (per the IPCC). N2O is a greenhouse gas with 298x higher global warming potential than CO2, which…
How does CO2 increase global temperature?
…in the infra-red range. They span from 600 – 20,000 nm. But how much of that energy actually escapes into space? (2) Greenhouse Gases: CO2, CH4, N2O, et al. CO2…
Flaring reduction: fire extinguishers?
…monetizing gas that is more than 20km from any existing infrastructure (page 8) and the other half of the challenge is in capturing small and hard-to-capture gas streams (page 9)….
CCS: amine degradation rates?
…precipitation and wet gas scrubbing. On the other hand, coal plants will burn off more oxygen, so there are lower oxygen concentrations in the flue gas, and less oxidative degradation….
Selective catalytic reduction: costs of NOx removal?
…pollution, mainly NO, is formed during combustion of fuels, when temperatures exceed 1,200ºC, and nitrogen gas in the air can oxidize. This matters as NOx gases are precursors to PM2.5…
CO2 intensity of materials: an overview?
…the different CO2 intensities or energy intensities of different companies. The best example is looking at acreage position by position in the US oil and gas industry, refiners, gas pipelines,…
Industrial gas separation: swing producers?
Swing Adsorption separates gases, based on their differential loading onto zeolite adsorbents at varying pressures. The first PSA plant goes back to 1966. Today, tens of thousands of PSA plants…
