Round Trip Battery Efficiencies

Battery efficiencies

This data-file derives the ‘net round trip efficiency’ of nine different battery solutions for storing energy. Rough costs are also estimated. Net round trip efficiency is calculated as the energy…

Tree database: forests to offset CO2?

CO2 uptake rates in forests by tree type

Nature-based solutions are among the most effective ways to abate CO2. Forest offsets will cost $2-50/ton, decarboning liquid fuels for <$0.5/gallon and natural gas for <$1/mcf (chart below). $499.00 – Purchase Checkout…

Hydrogen Cars: how economic?

how economic are hydrogen cars?

We have modelled the relative economics of hydrogen cars fed by renewable energy and hydrolysis of water, to assess whether they can be cost-competitive. In our base case US assumptions,…

Boeings and batteries?

Could battery powered plane ever fly

We have applied the equations of flight to a Boeing 747. Fuel economy of 5-6 gallons per mile is calculated as a function of the plane’s mass, velocity, distance travelled…

Major technologies to decarbonise power?

leading oil companies for decarbonising the energy system

Leading Oil Majors will play a crucial role in decarbonising the energy system. Their initiatives should therefore be encouraged by policy-makers and ESG investors, particularly where new energy technologies are…

De-carbonising carbon?

De-Carbonising Carbon

Decarbonisation is often taken to mean the end of fossil fuels. But it could become more feasible simply to de-carbonise fossil fuels. This 19-page note explores two top opportunities: next-generation…

Energy Economics of e-Scooters

economics of electric scooters

This data-file contains all our data on the energy economics of e-scooters, a transformational technology for urban mobility, where demand has exploded in 2018 and 2019. And for good reason….

Power Trains? Electric, diesel or hydrogen

Powering Trains Electric Diesel or Hydrogen

This data-file compares diesel trains, electric trains and hydrogen trains, according to their energy consumption, carbon emissions and fuel costs. The data are presented apples-to-apples, per passenger mile, based on…

CO2-EOR in Shale: the economics

CO2-EOR in shale

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…

Next-generation nuclear: the cutting edge?

Next-generation nuclear fission and fusion

This data-file screens c20 companies at the cutting edge of nuclear technology, to assess whether fission or fusion breakthroughs can realistically be factored into long-run forecasts of energy markets or…
