Vehicles: energy transition conclusions?
…into hydrogen trucks; and data-files into Goldilocks-like fuel cells and hydrogen fuelling stations. A summary of all of our hydrogen research is linked here. The data-file linked below summarizes all…
Hydrogen reformers: SMR versus ATR?
Blue hydrogen value chains are gaining momentum. Especially in the US. So this 16-page note contrasts steam-methane reforming (SMR) versus autothermal reforming (ATR). Each has merits and challenges. ATR looks…
Energy economics: energy content of combustion fuels?
The purpose of this data-file is to disaggregate the energy content of combustion fuels, including natural gas, different oil products, NGLs, coal, hydrogen, methanol, ammonia et al. $299.00 – Purchase Checkout Added…
Coal versus gas: explaining the CO2 intensity?
…hydrogen industry is currently looking for the perfect hydrogen carrier — is it ammonia? is it toluene? — in our view, a near-perfect one already exists, it is called natural…
Sabatier process: synthetic natural gas costs?
The Sabatier process combines CO2 and hydrogen to yield synthetic natural gas using a nickel catalyst at 300-400˚C. Synthetic natural gas costs $100/mcf in order to generate a 10% IRR,…
Market sizing: what if CO2 abatement costs are distributed like US income?
…will probably be some niche deployments of green hydrogen. Some niches can also be economically interesting. And some rough maths is that 6MTpa of CO2 abatement from green hydrogen might…
