Pipeline costs: moving oil, products or other liquids?
Pipeline costs are modeled in this data-file. $1/bbl is needed to move oil, oil products and other liquid commodities around 500 km at Mbpd scale, and the energy requirements are around 2.1 kWh/bbl, emitting 0.8 kg/bbl of CO2. Economics of scale matter. As a rule of thumb, costs rise by 100% when volumes fall by…

Organic Rankine Cycles: the energy economics?
This data-file captures the energy economics of an Organic Rankine Cycle to recover low-grade waste heat (at 70-200C) from an industrial facility, or in the geothermal industry. A CO2 price of $50-75/ton could greatly accelerate adoption and improve the efficiency of industrial facilities.

Very long term historical commodity prices and disruptions?
This data-file aggregates long-term historical commodity prices back to 1800, predominantly in the US, using academic records and census data. Historical commodity prices generally fell 30-70% in the 19th and early 20th century, punctuated by supply disruptions due to wars, then rose by 12.5x from 1945 to the present day.

Combined heat and power: the economics?
This data-file models the energy economics of a combined heat and power installation, to provide electricity and heating behind the meter, in lieu of purchasing electricity from the grid. Economics are strong, especially for larger units. CO2 emissions can also be reduced by 5-30% due to high efficiency.

Costs of CCS with the amine process?
This data-file models the economics of capturing CO2 from exhaust flues using the amine process. Our base case estimate is informed by five tabs of cost data and technical papers, but all of the input assumptions can be flexed to stress-test costs. Total costs rise exponentially if it is necessary to capture CO2 from more…

Deep blue: cracking the code of carbon capture?
Carbon capture is cursed by colossal costs at small scale. But blue hydrogen may be its saviour. Crucial economies of scale are guaranteed by deploying both technologies together. The combination is a dream scenario for gas producers. This 21-page note outlines the opportunity and costs.

Biomass power: costs, levelized costs and BECCS?
This data-file captures the economics of producing wood pellets, generating electricity from biomass, and potentially also building a further CCS facility to yield ‘carbon negative power’ (which is nevertheless more CO2 intensive than burning gas!). Our numbers are backstopped by industry data, including 340 US biomass plants.

Geothermal energy: what future in the transition?
Drilling wells and lifting fluids to the surface are core skills in oil and gas. Hence could geothermal be a natural fit in the energy transition? Next-generation geothermal economics can be very competitive, both for power and heat. Pilot projects are accelerating. This 17-page note presents the opportunity.

Energy transition market sizing: hydrocarbon, new energies, capital goods and materials?
This data-file contains energy transition market sizing analysis, for hydrocarbons, new energies, capital goods and materials in $bn pa, integrating over 1,000 items of energy transition research and our latest roadmap to net zero. In aggregate, energy, materials and transition-related markets double from $25 trn pa to $50 trn pa.

Methanol production: the economics?
This model captures the economics and CO2 intensity of methanol production in different chemical pathways. We find exciting potential for bio-methanol and blue methanol. These are logistically simple substitutes for oil products, but with lower carbon content. Full cost breakdowns can be stress-tested in the data-file.
