Blue steel: construction boom?
…hydrogen and blue ammonia. Both currently seem to be booming in the US, following new incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). And we think there are five factors underpinning…
Selective catalytic reduction: costs of NOx removal?
…here). High adiabatic flame temperatures of hydrogen will also form NOx. Meanwhile, using low-carbon ammonia as a fuel may release higher-than-normal NOx emissions as the NH3 molecule combusts (note here)….
Hydrogen: overview and conclusions?
…lost in transportation: our overview into hydrogen transport is here, covering cryogenic trucks, hydrogen pipelines, pipeline blending, ammonia and toluene. Is a hydrogen truck really comparable with a diesel truck?…
Nitric acid: production costs?
…stress-tested in the data-file. The largest input costs is ammonia, which is progressively oxidized using the Ostwald process, a high-temperature catalytic oxidation reaction, using a platinum-rhodium catalyst, at low-medium pressures…
Energy economics: energy content of combustion fuels?
The purpose of this data-file is to disaggregate the energy content of combustion fuels, including natural gas, different oil products, NGLs, coal, hydrogen, methanol, ammonia et al. $299.00 – Purchase Checkout Added…
European gas: anatomy of an energy crisis?
…long-term, as the US can produce the same materials, at lower feedstock costs, while possibly also decarbonizing at source, via blue hydrogen value chains (examples below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/04/13/blue-ammonia-options-strategy/ https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/08/10/polyurethanes-what-upside-in-energy-transition/ https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/07/06/hydrogen-reformers-smr-versus-atr/ The…
Polyurethane: production costs?
…chains, naphtha cracking, air separation, hydrogen production, chemical separations, CO2 separation, ammonia synthesis, nitric acid, methanol, formaldehyde, chlor-alkali, acetylene et al. Can you use green hydrogen to decarbonize polyurethane? Substituting…
Commodity prices: metals, materials and chemicals?
…captures 70 globally traded materials commodities and their annual prices over time in $/ton, year by year, from 2012-2022. These are: Acrylonitrile prices, Adhesives prices, Aggregates prices, Aluminium prices, Ammonia…
Energy transition: active duty?
…blue ammonia, blue steel, blue chemicals. This has come out of nowhere. We think active managers can add value by latching on to new themes quickly. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/07/06/hydrogen-reformers-smr-versus-atr/ (8) Bubble risks….
Methane reforming: costs of grey hydrogen, costs of blue hydrogen?
…see an emerging boom in decarbonizing hydrogen-consuming value chains, especially blue ammonia and blue steel, and especially in the US Gulf Coast region, due to incentives under the Inflation Reduction…
