Jevons Paradox: what evidence for energy savings?
…world aviation (page 12), US air conditioning (page 13-14) and US residential electricity use (page 15). Our conclusions from the analysis suggest it will be harder to use energy efficiency…

…the demand is highly variable, troughing at 15GW in April-2022 and peaking at over 61GW in July-2021. Summer demand is almost 50% higher than winter demand due to air conditioning….
…Cost of medium duration energy storage solutions from lithium batteries to thermal pumped hydro and compressed air Energy storage and power ratings can be flexed somewhat independently. You could easily…
…But anions and gases are impeded. This is even the reason that the SpaceX’s Dragon space probe used Nafion membrane to dehumidify air against a vacuum. Costs of Nafion membranes…
…steel (7.5%), plastics (6%), cars (5.4%), commercial heat (5%), hydrogen (4.6%), cement (3%), oil refining (3%), agriculture (3%), aviation (2.6%), air conditioning (2.5%), cooking (2.2%), lighting (2.2%) and shipping (1.4%)…
…from a fuel, while also producing a relatively pure stream of CO2, by avoiding the oxidation of the fuel in air (78% nitrogen) and instead circulating solid carrier particles through…
…casting off the shadow of a $1.7bn Clean Air Act fine in 2023, for installing defeat devices. Yet we did find clear, specific and detailed patents improving after-treatment systems. Another…
This data-file captures the costs of industrial cooling, especially liquid cooling using commercial HVAC equipment, across heat-exchangers, cooling tower evaporators and chillers. Our base case is that removing 100MW-th of…
…latitude can be varied in the data-file, which also contains hour-by-hour granularity. Insolation at ground level can thus be calculated, based on the mass of air that has been traversed…
…the A$12bn and 2.2GW Snowy 2.0 project, under construction, and featuring 27km of tunnels, the longest of any pumped hydro station ever built. Snowy 2.0 is directly adjacent to Tumut-3,…
