…new CO2 technologies such as CO2-EOR, oxy-combustion, carbonate fuel cells, metal organic frameworks and direct air capture. Measuring and monitoring CO2 is one of the largest challenges, hence our data-file…
…at -253C and the associated boil-off may consume c50% as much energy as is in the delivered hydrogen. New hydrogen pipelines are assessed on pages 8-12, including a deep-dive into…
…to 20. However, the data are highly variable, as shown by the examples plotted below. Volatility does matter for the costs of integrating renewables, the ultimate share of renewables and…
…during the commodity price spikes of 2022, when 8 of the 14 materials in our build-up rose to new ten year highs. Over the past ten years, the cost of…
…the 2008 Financial Crisis. Each is described in detail. It is interesting to compare the characteristics of these past bubbles to New Energies today. We argue several transition technologies are…
This model captures the costs of biomass power, from wood pellets to BECCS. A levelized cost of 13c/kWh is necessary for a new 100MW plant, with capex costs of $1,700/kW…
Smart energy systems are capable of transmitting and receiving real-time data and instructions. They open up new ways of optimizing energy efficiency, peak demand, appliances and costs. Over 100M smart…
…note finds next-generation geothermal economics can be very competitive, both for power and heat. Pilot projects are accelerating and new companies are forming. But the greatest challenge is execution, which…
…Consequently, there is room for 85Mbpd of oil and 400TCF of gas in a decarbonized energy system, while half of all ‘new energies’ technologies are overly expensive and may not…
…efficiency and lower the CO2 intensity of oil and gas production. This note profiles the exciting new prospect of ‘wet sand’ for hydraulic fracturing in shale plays. It can reduce…
