Thermal energy storage: heat of the moment?
…excess renewable energy, converting it to heat, then heating up a thermal storage medium in some kind of well-insulated tank. The heat can be re-released later. Either directly, or via…
Industrial gases: out of thin air?
…fridges, air conditioners, heat pumps, LNG and industrial gases. Industrial gases comprise a market worth c$100bn per year, including 400MTpa of oxygen. And a surprisingly large number of metals, materials…
Britain’s industrial revolution: what happened to energy demand?
…pa of energy, rather than reverting to pre-industrial or early-industrial energy levels. As a rough indicator, 20MWH is the annual energy output of c$120-150k of solar panels spread across 600…
Adiabatic flame temperature: hydrogen, methane and oil products?
…flame, because no heat is dissipated unnecessarily in heating up superfluous oxygen. The data-file shows that at an idealized, 100% stoichiometric ratio, the adiabatic flame temperature for natural gas is…
Gas turbines: what market size in energy transition?
Combined heat and power systems are 20-30% lower-carbon than today’s gas turbines, as they capture waste heat. They are also increasingly economical to backstop renewable-heavy grids. Amidst uncertain policies, the…
China Energy Demand and CO2 Emissions, 2000-2060
…although a portion will be piped gas, not LNG. 32% of the increase is in power to backstop renewables, 13% for industrial heat that is lower-carbon (than coal), 30% is…
Japan oil demand: breakdown over time?
…time, based on data from METI, across Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles, Motorcycles, Taxis, Buses, Trucking, Rail, Aviation, Shipping, Agriculture, Mining, Construction, Steel, Chemical Feedstock, Chemicals Heat, Materials, Food, Industrial Heat,…
Pressure ratings: industrial and energy processes?

Industrial gas separation: swing producers?
…gases. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Gas separations matter as many industrial processes require pure input streams. Industrial hydrogen must be purified from a soup of gases exiting a methane…
Ground source heat pumps: the economics?
This data-file models heat pump economics, costs, energy savings and potential CO2 savings of a ground source heat pump (GHP), compared to traditional home heating and cooling options. A GHP…
