…projects, 2.5x more prevalent than forest conservation. 70% are undertaken indirectly through partners, versus 30% undertaken directly. 95% of indirect projects have sought third-party verification, while 60% of direct projects…
HVDC costs? This model captures the economics of transporting electricity (especially from renewable sources, such as wind and solar), over vast distances, using high voltage direct current power cables (HVDCs)….
The US consumes 25,000 TWH of primary energy per year, which equates to 13,000 TWH of useful energy, and emits 6GTpa of CO2. This model captures our best estimates for…
…an expansion of cogen capacity at large industrial assets, as a counter-balance to the overbuilding of renewables. We argue this remains one of the most exciting and direct ways to…
…both specialized equipment and have huge labor demands. Traditional infrastructure mega-projects are most labor-intensive, possibly employing 10,000+ people to build airports, railways, Olympic stadia. Refining and chemicals, surprisingly, are the…
…1.1 c/kWh-th. Thus the excess cost of natural gas was around 0.4 c/kWh-th. Directly substituting coal fuel for gas fuel therefore incurred a cost of $20/ton of CO2 that was…
…looking profession-by-profession across the entire US labor force, and considering new technologies (pages 9-13). Direct energy impacts save 1bn tons of annual CO2. Impacts on oil, gas and electricity demand…
…is sub-optimal, in economic terms, because unlike a visible cost (e.g., a direct “carbon price”), it will not change behaviours in ways that actually drive decarbonisation. No “incremental” energy transition…
…saw 144bcm of global flaring, averaging 0.2 mcf/bbl and 10 kg/boe of direct emissions. Lower decile countries flared 0.7 mcf/bbl, which is over 40 kg/boe. $139.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart…
…Direct energy economics are calculated below, based on the battery disclosures for one of Starship’s robots. A single delivery robot is implied to achieve an unheard-of c200miles/kWh. Matching the maths…
