Coal industry CO2 per ton
…contents. The conclusion is that domestic coal production will tend to emit 2x more CO2 than domestic natural gas production, in addition to coal combustion emitting around 2x more CO2…
Solar water heaters: the economics?
…of electrical/gas power (determining how competitive solar water heaters are with other heating methods). Under our base case estimates, it would require a CO2 price of around $130/ton, to incentivize…
District heating: the economics?
…data-file models generalized economics, based on the capital costs to pipe heat to each household, gas prices, heat consumption and efficiency factors. You can flex these variables in the model….
Nuclear Power Project Economics
…have included high capex costs and long construction cycles. This means that a CO2 price of $270/ton is required before new nuclear projects would outcompete new gas projects, on an…
Labor intensity of different energy sources?
How many jobs are created by different types of energy? This data-file aggregates the labor intensity of different energy sources: wind, solar, oil, gas, coal and nuclear, based on data…
How do capital costs and CO2 prices impact power project economics?
…on gas, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro and hydrogen. From conversations with investors, we suspect many wind and solar projects are being financed at lower WACCs (c5%) than conventional gas…
Net zero Oil Majors: worth the cost?
…model a typical Oil Major with 1Mboed of upstream production, 1Mbpd of refining and marketing, a gas marketing business and 5MTpa of annual chemicals production. We estimate this Oil Major…
Pipeline costs: moving oil, products or other liquids?
…flows are captured in our gas pipeline model, as the physics are very different (gases are compressible). Our base case model covers a large, 1-meter pipeline, carrying 1Mbpd of light…
Carbon offsets: ocean iron fertilization?
…the impedance of light by materials such as sinking organic matter (our screen below finds a rich improvement in autonomy and precision of concepts for the oil and gas industry)….
Organic Rankine Cycles: the energy economics?
…by evaporating a liquid into a high-pressure gas, then expanding the gas across a turbine, before re-condensing it. The mechanical energy can be used to drive a generator and produce…
