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?…
Drone Attacks on Energy Assets?
Over 100 attacks on global energy assets made major news headlines in the past decade. The majority were small-scale, targeting pipelines in conflict-regions, because this was the infrastructure most accessible…
Mero Revolutions: countering CO2 in pre-salt Brazil?
…and CO2. These will be 2-2.5x larger FPSOs than Lula, by tonnage. Pages 8-10 illustrate pipeline bottlenecks facing pre-salt Brazil. After considering alternative options (re-injection, LNG), we argue more pipelines…
