…been that some technologies at first glance seem to be mature, but on closer inspection still have material technology risks (such as green hydrogen electrolysers, post-combustion CCS). But technology risk…
…we cannot plot the data in kWh/ton or CO2/ton. This includes the CO2 of different forms of transportation, digital processes, or hydrogen. Agricultural commodities are also not captured in the…
…house batteries and hydrogen plants. The marginal cost of cement production is estimated at $130/ton in this data-file, in order to achieve a 10% IRR, which is similar to the…

…possible sorbents and membranes (pages 15-16). How will AI reshape lithium-ion batteries, nuclear fusion, green hydrogen value chains or nature-based solutions. We found it harder to de-risk breakthroughs using AI…
This data-file reviews Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cell technology. What surprised us most was a particularly candid overview of the degradation pathways of solid oxide fuel cells, a focus…
