…and offer up useful data that will matter for real world installations. CCS challenges. Seven challenges for commercial scale deployment of conventional CCS are presented on pages 7-10. We think…
…and slower’ than today’s blended average global energy, especially coal and gas (page 6), which is not the end of the world (page 7), but does mean the scale-up of…
A multi-MW scale diesel generator requires an effective power price of 20c/kWh, in order to earn a 10% IRR, on c$700/kW capex, assuming $70 oil prices and c150km trucking of…
…for the energy transition. A wind turbine uses 67 tons of cement per MW. So too might foundations of utility scale solar, power transmission lines, or the “pads” used to…
…facilities globally, with almost 4MTpa of CCS capacity, of which over half are smaller facilities purifying CO2 for urea production, and the largest is the 1.4MTpa Petra Nova CCS project,…
…delays and overruns inherent in large-scale construction. The capex numbers can all be flexed in the data-file. Offshore wind capex will tend to average $4,000 per kW according to our…
…Plug Power is aiming to scale up as a world-leading supplier for $20bn pa of equipment and services across the end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem by 2030: from electrolysers, to logistics,…
Positive themes in energy transition? It can feel gloomy, forecasting 2-6% global energy shortages, bottlenecks on material value chains that must scale by 3-30x, and even fearing that global conflicts…
…absorber capacity. Hence the absorber units for a world-scale 500MW power plant can reach 3,000 – 10,000 m3 of volume, usually across 2-4 absorbers with 10-15m diameters and 15-25m heights….
