LEDs: seeing the light?
…save energy, especially in solar-heavy grids. But demand is also rising due to ‘rebound effects’ and use in digital devices. We have screened 20 mature and (mostly) profitable pure plays….
DC-DC power converters: efficiency calculations?
DC-DC power converters are used to alter the voltage in DC circuits, such as in wind turbines, solar MPPT, batteries and digital/computing devices. This data-file is a breakdown of DC-DC…
Global average temperatures: are the data robust and reliable?
…has occurred since that time-period. However this is mostly because of bad data back in the pre-digital world of the 1980s. In fact, NASA’s 1981 data-set did not include any…
Omniscience: how will AI reshape the energy transition?
…digital energy consumption (pages 2-3). This will create upside for global energy demand in the short-term. But 80-90% of primary energy is also wasted in today’s global energy system. And…
Data-centers: electricity use and demand shifting?
…opportunity to improve margins of data-centers by demand shifting is covered in our recent research note here. Demand shifting at data-centers and other digital facilities could ultimately permit another 1-2%…
Energy transition: conclusions from 6-months on the road?
…case your curiosity has been piqued, here is my wife’s take on our US adventures, and our permanent re-location to Estonia, the ‘most digital country in the world’… link here….

Decline Rates: the consensus?
…past decline rates, of 5.7%. Although the rise of shale is seen increasing global decline rates, this is apparently being outweighed by the rise of digital technologies and offshore innovations….
Johan Sverdrup: Don’t Decline?
…be measured. Pages 5-7 recount the history of Digital Twin technologies, the cutting edge of their application offshore Norway and evidence for Equinor’s edge, as it deploys the technology at…
