LanzaTech: biofuels breakthrough?
…with Shell and BA, and is now progressing larger projects: a €150M exhaust-gas capture for AccelorMittal’s Ghent steel plant, and a 10MGal/year aviation fuel facility in Georgia. We have assessed…
Landfill gas: the economics?
…landfill products (below). Note this is prior to gas cleaning and upgrading. We estimate that a typical landfill facility may be able to capture and abate 70% of its methane…
Gas turbines: what market size in energy transition?
Combined heat and power systems are 20-30% lower-carbon than today’s gas turbines, as they capture waste heat. They are also increasingly economical to backstop renewable-heavy grids. Amidst uncertain policies, the…
Phasing out gas: five hidden consequences?
…in $0.5 of additional revenue being raised from remaining customers. The idealized maths of this process are captured below… Specifically, we estimate that if a gas network falls to c20%…
Lilac solutions: lithium breakthrough?
…look promising to us. They contain some excellent, precise and intelligible details on making ion exchange materials that will capture lithium from diffuse brines, and have likely protected the company’s…
