…mining processes, which are increasingly important for energy transition. Interesting, we also think almost all of these mining technology can smooth our volatile power grids by demand shifting. We have…
…where the gas turbines have a “sweet spot” of maximum efficiency. Battery storage allows Conoco to avoid low-efficiency turbine usage, which will will cut emissions by 20%. Demand shifting, in…
…opportunities for traditional gas distribution companies in the energy transition are to minimze methane leaks, improve compressor efficiency, and consider adjacent sectors such as CCS, demand shifting and power infrastructure….
…motor degradation. There may even be an opportunity for demand shifting. These issues are explored on pages 11-12. Leading companies are described on pages 13-14, including their market shares, proportionate…
…the heat. But the ranges very broadly from 10-90%, depending on the system. Many electric heating technologies can also undertake demand shifting, in order to help backstop increasingly renewable-heavy grids….
…grids by demand shifting. The economics are exciting. We model 10% IRRs selling fresh produce at competitive prices, with upside to 30% IRRs if fresher produce earns a premium or…
…economics of electric pumps, which are used to move liquids in industrial applications, for commercial/domestic use such as within heat pumps, for demand shifting, for supercritical CO2, in geothermal applications,…
…But ramping solar requires energy storage. To set some baselines, costs of different backups are re-capped on pages 2-3. Half way between demand shifting and battery storage is storing up…
…aim at around 4-hours of duration. At longer duration, we prefer redox flow batteries among electrochemical solutions. Even better backups are thermal energy storage and demand shifting. While for economic…
…energy as coldness in these fridges and freezers (aka “demand shifting“), improving their efficiency by c20% and without requiring power prices to increase. The energy economics of cold storage are…
