…a higher energy state, from which electricity can be drawn out of a solar cell. For silicon, the bandgap is 1.1 eV. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/10/19/semiconductor-physics-piece-de-resistance/ What provides the energy is photons in…
…a position of energy surplus. Please download the data-file to stress test our numbers around the embedded energy needed to construct a solar project, and the energy payback of solar….
This article summarizes our conclusions into power grids and power electronics, across all of Thunder Said Energy’s research. Where are the best power grid opportunities in the energy transition? Power…
…energy project has an energy intensity of 3MWH/kW, which is repaid after c1-year, for a total energy return on energy investment above 20x, over a 20-25 year operating life. One…
…category-by-category. In the energy transition, we estimate global CO2 savings from recycling are already around 2GTpa. Rising energy and CO2 prices would incentivize more recycling, and save another 2GTpa of…
…Useful global energy demand (net of efficiency losses) runs at 80,000 TWH pa. Per our global energy supply models, it is relatively easy to disaggregate energy supply, by summing across…
…pulled to resolve under-supply in our global energy supply-demand balance. In 2023, we think economic weakness will mask energy under-supply, mute energy prices, and lure many decision makers into looking…
…other energy. Early industrialization is most energy-intensive, as energy consumption rises 1:1 with GDP growth, mostly sourced from coal and oil. Later industrialization is less energy-intensive, with the ‘beta’ falling…
A pressure exchanger transfers energy from a high-pressure fluid stream to a low-pressure fluid stream, and can save up to 60% input energy. Energy Recovery Inc is a leading provider…
We have attempted a detailed breakdown of global energy demand across 50 categories, to identify emerging opportunities in the energy transition, and suggesting upside to our energy demand forecasts? This…
