Solar inverters: products, costs and companies?

This data-file tracks some of the leading companies making solar inverters and their products’ costs. Our utility-scale solar models assume up to $0.1/W might be paid for an inverter, usually less,…

This data-file captures the costs and the economics of installing a synchronous condenser, downstream of a renewable power facility, in order to emulate some of the inertia, reactive power and…
We have modelled the economics of CO2-EOR in shale, after interest in this topic spiked 2.3x YoY in the 2019 technical literature. Our deep-dive research into the topic is linked…
This simple model aims to disaggregate the marginal costs of a new uranium mine, as a function of uranium prices, ore grade, capex and opex. Our base case is a…
Energy return on energy invested is a horrible metric: calculated differently in almost every study on the topic, and fairly difficult to delimit conceptually. Despite this, we have made an…
This data-file ranks the greatest challenges for the floating offshore wind industry, by reviewing 50 recent patents, filed by leading companies. These challenges are relatively immutable, and will likely double…
Our aim of this model is to capture the economics of different green diesel plants: specifically, converting waste oils into renewable diesel via hydro-processing; and converting biologically derived oils into bio-diesel…
Biogas screens as a relatively expensive source of energy. Our model of biogas costs requires $20/mcfe gas, a $50/ton CO2 price and a $50/ton tipping fee, in order to make…
The data-file models the economics of converting renewable electricity (wind or solar) into low-carbon liquid fuels, by electrolysing water into hydrogen, electrolysing CO2 into CO, then re-combining the products into…
This 26-page report aggregates all of our work in 2020 and presents the best route to reach ‘net zero’ CO2. The global energy system can be fully decarbonized by 2050,…
