…for CO2 trucking or CO2 shipping). But there are some unexpected spikes in the heat capacity ratio in the ranges relevant to CO2 pipelines (100-bar) and CO2 gas turbines (300-bar)….
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,…
…accountable, driven by numbers, per pages 16-21. The work draws on five-years of modelling of solar costs, onshore wind, offshore wind, gas turbines, coal plants, nuclear plants, hydro and diesel…
…time, looking back at the development of steam cycles, early electrical generators, gas turbines (chart below). Improving net EROEIs may determine the ultimate share of renewables in the future energy…
…underpins combined cycle gas turbines, combined heat and power, EGRs, and even next generation combustion technologies based around super-critical CO2, and next-generation nuclear using molten sodium or salt. Further data…
…grow more constructive on gas production, gas pipelines, gas turbines on pages 11-12. Some solar and onshore wind deployments genuinely can improve the competitiveness of energy systems, when deployed in…
…will underpin 1,000 TWH of internet energy consumption, in turn boosting demand for gas, gas pipelines, gas turbines, uranium, industrial cooling equipment, fiber optics, and unlocking transformative new technologies including…
…compare this with the heating-melting temperatures of materials, maximum temperatures of structural materials, typical combustion temperatures, typical refinery processes and the hottest gas turbines. These high temperatures cause unavoidable volatilization…
…percent per minute, or MW per minute). Hydro power and simple cycle gas turbines offer the best short-term performance, ramping immediately and rapidly. Next come combined cycle gas plants, then…
…where the gas turbines have a “sweet spot” of maximum efficiency. Battery storage allows Conoco to avoid low-efficiency turbine usage, which will will cut emissions by 20%. Demand shifting, in…
