…natural gas, after generating renewable electricity, electrolysing water into hydrogen and storing the hydrogen. Levelized costs of electricity then reach 60-80c/kWh, for generating clean electricity in a fuel cell power…
…the well site then requires compressors, pipelines, small-scale LNG, CNG or using gas in basin, e.g., for dual-fuel rigs or frac services or in-basin power generation. Sometimes it is not…
…converted into useful energy for machines. The definition has its roots in the power sector. We have charted 20 examples of energy efficiency factors, which can also be aggregated by…
…as catalysts, especially metals. Sulphur impurities produce heat stable salts. Evaporative losses correlate with temperature. Operating power plants at partial loads or as peakers can also increase evaporative emissions. Some…
…vessels are also used in offshore wind and more broadly amidst the expansion of power grids and HVDC interconnectors. We think a typical cable lay vesel will consume 150bpd of…
…useful heat and power (40x net EROEI) (page 4). Renewables today. Our best estimates are that the net EROEI for wind today is around 23x and the net EROEI for…
…the median American. The best examples in the 4GTpa middle ground of pragmatic decarbonization technologies costing $20-80/ton of CO2 abatement include wind, solar, expanding power grids, scaling up natural gas…
A thermal power plant converts 35-45% of the chemical energy in coal, biomass or pellets into electrical energy. So what happens to the other 55-65%? Accessing this waste heat can…
…like batteries, by scaling up and down to smooth out an increasingly volatile power grid? What implications for blue hydrogen, green hydrogen, Allam Cycle oxy-combustion, direct air capture energy economics?…
…maybe even depressed us, is how slowly many have progressed. Energy technologies considered in the note include blue hydrogen, SiC power MOSFETs, hydrogen vehicles, TOPCon solar, remote working, plastic pyrolysis,…
