…today’s best supercomputers? The best super-computers today are reaching computational efficiencies of 50GFLOPS per Watt (chart below). If we assume 32 bit precision per float, then this equates to an…
…transition become the very hungry caterpillar, encompassing $15trn of market cap across a dozen sectors. Including defence. For example, we have written on super-alloys, Rare Earths and carbon fiber. And…
…underlying vehicle in the US, through to 150% in Norway, and can also be well above 100% in other Northern European countries such as Netherlands, Denmark and France. Super-high taxes…
…turbines. But very hot metals tend to deform and melt, even when made from super-alloys. Howmet has claimed an edge in manufacturing engine and turbine components, hinging on the ability…
…is a Super-Major with a presence in over 200 countries globally, and many activities in each country. In many of these, it is not the owner or operator of assets,…
…strange gas to compress (note here). CO2 pipelines run above 100-bar, where CO2 becomes super-critical and behaves more like a liquid (e.g., it can be pumped). CO2 can also be…
…capacity through to the super-massive APX LNG trains, which are above 7MTpa each. Or in other words, there is a 10,000x variation between the smallest and largest LNG trains installed…
…super-critical CO2 compression. Our model of oxycombustion costs, averaging 6-8c/kWh in our base case, is based on assumptions for capex, opex, utilization, efficiency, gas prices, oxygen costs and CO2 disposal….
…modified and retro-fitted to inflict violence or damage. Similarly, in the military sphere, one expects large super-powers such as the US, Russia and China to develop leading military technologies, but…
…inspected by consumers is thus respected by suppliers. Prior eco-labelling schemes have been attempted for broader consumer products, but the technology may not have been ready. The first supermarket carbon…
