…already under-taken projects using CO2 in agriculture and greenhouses, while industrial gas and monitoring companies can also benefit. But the challenge is scale. Around 50Tpa of CO2 is supplied to…
Swing Adsorption separates gases, based on their differential loading onto zeolite adsorbents at varying pressures. The first PSA plant goes back to 1966. Today, tens of thousands of PSA plants…
This data-file captures the economics for a typical LNG regas facility. We estimate that a fixed plant with 75-80% utilization requires a spread near to $0.8/mcf on its gas imports,…
…a typical syngas plant must charge around $500/ton, in order to generate a 10% IRR. The syngas can then be used in making chemicals (c50% of the syngas market, e.g.,…
…what implications for the gas industry, power industry and CCS industry? (pages 12-16). Large industrial gas companies and technology providers are pursuing different strategies amidst this evolving landscape (page 17)….
