the research consultancy for energy technologies
This data-file models the costs of home heating technologies, such as boilers and heat pumps, as well as their CO2 intensities. Specifically, oil-fired furnaces, gas boilers, electric heaters and electrically-powered…
…prices, cutting funding for flaring reduction, methane mitigation, digitization initiatives and power from shore (pages 8-9). New energy technologies are developed more slowly when fossil fuel prices are depressed, based…
…of electrical/gas power (determining how competitive solar water heaters are with other heating methods). Under our base case estimates, it would require a CO2 price of around $130/ton, to incentivize…
This data-file models the economics and costs of green hydrogen production via the electrolysis of water, powered by renewable energy. IRRs and NPVs are calculated incorporating our best estimates of…
…the costs are explained on page 4. Other incumbents are contrasted on page 5, including oil furnaces and electric heaters, showing how their costs vary with oil, gas and power…
…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….
…TWH of useful energy. The gas industry is among the most efficient power sectors, providing 100 jobs per TWH of useful energy. Oil-fired transportation is less efficient at 140 workers…
…gains in the energy transition. Heat exchangers are used to increase the efficiency of thermal power plants (60% of combustion heat ends up in the exhaust gas!), for thermal energy storage, or to…
…biogas or hydrogen (chart below). Similarly attractive conclusions hold for decarbonized gas in the power sector. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2020/05/17/decarbonize-heat/ Reforestation is the largest nature based opportunity, with potential to absorb 15bn tons…
…Potential CO2 savings are discussed in manufacturing, transport, power, heat recovery, supply chaining and across the oilfield on pages 5-14. Leading companies exposed to the theme are profiled, based on…
