…34 companies and 150 patents (chart below). Satellites were among the breakthrough technologies, with the capability to find methane leaks from space. This matters as c5% of super-emitting leaks comprise…

…carbon fiber, additive manufacturing, advanced metals) and raising the T-max of Brayton Cycle turbines (including via super-alloys). Helpful underlying data come from the US Bureau of Transport Statistics, to compute…
…but generally we expect shut-ins and deferrals during the 2020 COVID crisis will lower effective production capacity. The Winners. Generally, super-giant Middle East carbonate reservoirs and recently completed shale wells…
…electricity. The working fluid is usually water, which boils into steam at 100ºC, and then is super-heated to 300-500ºC. Organic Rankine Cycles aim to harness mechanical energy from lower-temperature heat…
…likely add $110-170k of cost at 2020 battery costs. Our roadmap to decarbonize trucking most prefers carbon-offset diesel, then hybridization with super-capacitors, then electric semi-trucks, and least prefers hydrogen trucks….
…liquefying air and then boiling off its constituents. The main heat exchanger in a cryogenic air separator is usually a plate and fin design, super-chilling air to -172C. From the…
…rising to around 10% by the 1900s, to 30-50% at modern coal-fired power generation using pulverised, then critical, super-critical and ultra-critical steam. The first functioning gas turbines were constructed in…
