MHI CCS technology: performance, costs and emissions?
…and 107 partial days, mostly in its first two years of operation” largely linked to CO2 pipeline availability, and was shut down for economic reasons in 2020. More details in…
Metals and materials: strength and temperature resistance?
…and jet engines; why glass fiber and carbon fiber are used in wind turbine blades; why traces of Rare Earth metals are introduced into high-pressure pipelines for gas transportation or…
Energy intensity of fiber optic cables?
…a pipeline, where greater widths enable greater flow. Using these definitions, we can compile data into the energy consumption of fixed fiber lines and their bit rates. Using these numbers,…
Small-scale CCS: transport liquid CO2?
…to disposal sites, where permitting a pipeline is not feasible or economical. This expands the opportunity for CCS. Early proposals to do this are explored on pages 2-4. The physics…
Blue ammonia: options strategy?
…fears over mounting global energy shortages (pages 9-10). Where are the best projects? We have screened a 30MTpa global pipeline of blue ammonia projects. We propose five rules of thumb…
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?…
LNG: top conclusions in the energy transition?
…is summing up the economics across the entire value chain for gas production, gas processing, pipeline transportation, LNG liquefaction, LNG shipping and LNG regasification. The best projects work at $7/mcf….
Global coal production: supply outlook in energy transition?
…80bcfd. Thus US coal declined to 500MTpa in 2021. Although questions about the continued phase-back of US coal are now being raised, due to pipeline bottlenecks from the Marcellus, and…
Landfill gas: rags to riches?
…CHP (pages 9-12), cleaning up to pipeline spec (pages 13-14), further cleaning into CNG transportation fuels (pages 15-16) and biogas-to-jet (page 17). Perspective is crucial. The ultimate carbon abatement costs…
Hydrogen blending: costs and complexities?
This data-file estimate the costs of blending hydrogen into pre-existing natural gas pipeline networks. Costs are relatively low per mcf of gas, but very high per ton of CO2 abated….
