…from biomass is likely c30% lower in CO2 than conventional plastics, but around 2x more costly (research note here). The economics of the ethanol-to-ethylene chemical pathway are modelled here. Biomass-derived…
This data-file captures the economics of ocean carbon sequestration using seaweeds and kelps, which tend to generate 20T of dry biomass per acre per year, of which c10% is naturally…
This data-file captures the economics of gas-to-liquids, including the formation of syngas in an auto-thermal reformer, then the subsequent upgrading into liquids via the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. Our base case is…
The data-file models the economics of converting renewable electricity (wind or solar) into low-carbon liquid fuels, by electrolysing water into hydrogen, electrolysing CO2 into CO, then re-combining the products into…
This data-file captures the energy economics of aluminium production via the electrolysis of alumina, breaking down the costs line-by-line. The overall process is energy intensive, emitting 10kg of CO2 per…
…removal technologies too. Especially nature-based solutions. What model will be best for corporations to procure nature-based carbon removals? On pages 4-5, we propose internal groups will be created to ensure…
This data-file captures the economics of producing ethanol from corn in the United States, based on technical papers and industry data-points. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Our base case calculations…
This data-file captures the economics of producing bio-ethylene by dehydration of ethanol, backed up by half-a-dozen technical papers. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart We estimate an ethylene price of $1,600/Tpa…
…the developed world, on page 6. Bottom-up, we model that each $100/ton of CO2 abatement cost would lead to 2-70% price increases, across a basket of twenty different goods and…
This data-file models the economics of recycling spent lithium ion batteries, taking in waste cells at end-of-life, and recovering materials such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminium, lithium and steel….
