…which is disaggregated in the file across ammonia inputs, CO2 inputs, electricity inputs and heat inputs. These numbers can all be stress-tested. Sensitivity matters. At $6-10/mcf gas prices, marginal costs…
Spot markets have delivered more and more ‘commodities on demand’ over the past half-century. But is this model fit for the energy transition? Many markets are now desperately short, causing…
…five key conclusions. They count against deforestation, in favor of using waste wood, in favor of wood materials (with some debate around paper) and strongly in favor of natural gas….
…outlook for US corn ethanol is laid out on pages 4-5, including typical costs, CO2 intensity, feedstock inflation and possible impacts on the gasoline market. We wonder whether world events,…
…energy production, therefore, stands at 20 trn calories per year, equivalent to 25,000 TWH of primary energy. For perspective, the primary energy in total global gas production is around 40,000…
…turn comprises 1.13 tons of NaOH, 1 ton of Cl2 and 0.03 tons of H2 gas. This generates a 10% IRR of a low cost growth project costing $600/Tpa. Costs…
…electrodes are aimed at “dramatically reducing” costs of lithium ion batteries, with higher energy density, safety and reliability, for use in battery storage (to replace gas peakers) and in electric…
This data-file aggregates production from Qatar’s North Field (aka Iran’s South Pars), plus associated data, based on technical papers and other commentaries that have crossed our screen, covering this enormous…
The North Field is now the most important conventional energy asset on the planet. It produces 4% of world energy, 20% of global LNG and aims to ramp another 50MTpa…
…sources, such as wind (also modelled), and other energy inputs (nuclear, hydro, gas, etc). For example, see our notes here and here. Another excellent option is long-distance inter-connect power lines,…
