…markedly between different weather stations that are scattered over short distances (e.g., due to shade, aspect, elevation, wind exposure), making the readings too site-specific. Moreover, the global average temperature is…
…EAFs can used to smooth out volatile renewables in the power grid, running primarily in periods of high wind and solar generation. If a lower power price is achieved by…
25% of the power grid could realistically become ‘flexible’, shifting its demand across days, even weeks. This is the lowest cost and most thermodynamically efficient route to fit more wind…
…to pretend that gas and coal electrons are wind and solar electrons and vice versa. As per our recent research, these RECs can create some very strange implications for carbon…
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…
…Copper Council. Copper demand intensity factors. Copper use in wind, copper use in solar, copper use in electric vehicles and copper use in power grids — transmission and distribution —…
…substitute oil products from renewable sources such as wind and solar. However, some of the most advanced projects are actually powered by geothermal and hydro, to achieve superior utilization rates….
…of wind, solar, hydrogen and batteries, on pages 10-12. There are surprising feedback loops, which could amplify inflation. No brakes? We also find that the usual mechanism to slow inflation…
…In turn, low-carbon turquoise hydrogen could be produced from low-carbon electricity (most likely a mixture of wind, solar, nuclear and hydro). Now the cost is more than blue hydrogen, but…
Moore’s law entails that computing performance will double every 18-months. It was proposed in 1965. And since then, chips have consistently sustained this pace. We argue such exponential progress has…
