…also explores the links between outright revolutions and food-energy price spikes, reviewing a dozen examples, from the French Revolution to the Iranian Revolution and Arab Spring. Food and energy prices…
How much does solar energy vary by year in typical locations? To answer this question, this data-file aggregates the average annual volatility of solar (and wind) resources across ten locations,…
…explains our outlook for nuclear in the energy transition. We expect a >3% CAGR through 2030, and hope for a 2.5x ramp through 2050. A ‘nuclear renaissance’ helps the energy…
Our roadmap to ‘Net Zero’ requires doubling global gas production from 400bcfd to 800bcfd, as a complement to wind, solar, nuclear and other low-carbon energy. This data-file quantifies global gas…
This data-file captures cement costs, based on inputs, capex and energy economics. A typical cement plant requires a cement price of $130/ton for a 10% IRR, on capex costs of…
Alterra Energy built the US’s first larger-scale plastic pyrolysis facility, in Akron, Ohio, and has steadily been refining its plastic recycling technology. The company recently signed license agreements with Neste…
…400 kWh/ton as a mid-point (although it can range from 20-2,000 kWh/ton). The energy costs of pressure swing adsorption are going to depend on pressures used and the energy demands…
…H2 gas. The chemical reaction is F2 + H2 -> 2HF. The thermodynamic result is that energy has been released by this reaction. The energy is imparted to the electrons…
The midstream industry moves molecules, especially energy-molecules, and especially in pipelines. Despite the mega-trend of electrification, there are still strong midstream opportunities in the energy transition, backstopping volatility and moving…
…uniform and flameless combustion reaction to occur, releasing the energy from the fuel, but creating no NOx emissions. The energy from combustion pushes a piston through a cylinder (or in…
