    Natural gas: the EU green taxonomy’s 270g/kWh CO2 target?

    The EU taxonomy is a set of guidelines that label some investments as ‘green’. This includes gas power with a CO2 intensity below 270g/kWh. Most conventional gas projects will not meet this hurdle, but CHPs and 20-30% blends of lower-carbon gas could accelerate.

  • Absorption chillers: the economics?

    Absorption chillers: the economics?

    Absorption chillers perform the thermodynamic alchemy of converting waste heat into coolness. Capex costs of absorption chillers average $600/kW-th and all-in absorption chiller costs run to 6-7 cents/ton-hour, depending on the price of incoming waste heat. This data-file captures the economics of absorption chillers from first principles.

    CO2 Storage: the top ten challenges in CCS?

    This data-file tabulates the “top ten” challenges for geological storage of CO2, based on reviewing the technical literature. There is c$8-30/ton of tail-risk for a typical CO2 storage operation. 25 monitoring and measurement technologies are summarized. We conclude CCS is no ‘less risky’ than nature based solutions to climate change.
