…This data-file aggregates data in order to answer this question, across oil, coal, gas and renewables. The best rule-of-thumb is 0.6% per year. $199.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart The best…
…or raise the dragline again. There is more on flywheels, supercapacitors, batteries and smoothing out renewables volatility via the links in this sentence. Materials matter: high-strength low-weight maximizes energy storage?…
…(such as HVDCs) cost $1-2M/km, and complex projects with erratic seabed terrain cost as much as $3-5M/km. Is it possible that attempts to accelerate offshore wind and renewables more broadly…
…step-change feels similar to the contrast between modern renewables and the small, inefficient wind and solar plants being constructed in the mid-2000s. We offer up some predictions on page 11….
…wind and solar and the ramp-up of renewables in our roadmap to net zero. Please download the data-file to stress-test the numbers and see our estimates for the breakdown of…
…for daily charging-discharging (model here). Conversely, there are many loads in the power grid that can shift their demand (e.g., to the times when grids are over-saturated with renewables). This…
…feels like the theme is also liable to gobble up whatever it encounters. We think the world will achieve an energy transition. The thermodynamics of renewables-electrification are simply astounding. And…
…are going to be a defining technology of the energy transition and a complement to renewables. The thermodynamics are explained here. The key point is that gas-fired power cycles are…
…But realizing the potential took improvements in materials and manufacturing. And the best recuperated Brayton cycles now surpass 60% efficiency in world-leading combined cycle gas turbines. Renewables, such as wind…
…surge upwards through the deployment of more renewables and electrification, as a mega-trend for the 21st century (page 15). Our conclusions, bluntly stated, are that some forecasts for declining global…
