…ramped up its oil production by 3x, its gas production by 2x and now also produces 5% of its energy from new energies such as wind and solar. This means…
…Hence we think the rise of renewables will entrench natural gas. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2024/07/04/back-up-does-ramping-renewables-displace-gas/ Finally, the evidence suggests that a typical pumped hydro generation profile is less actively used for short-term grid…
…how wind, solar, gas turbines and transmission & distribution line losses all degrade at higher temperatures, making power generation in heatwaves more difficult. Thus during a heat wave, this seemingly…
Super-alloys have exceptionally high strength and temperature resistance. They help to enable 6GTpa of decarbonization, across efficient gas turbines, jet engines (whether fueled by oil, hydrogen or e-fuels), vehicle parts,…
In 2018, we reviewed 250-years of energy transitions, arguing that another great energy transition is now on hand. It will occur over the next century. Thus for another hundred years,…
