These assets are now owned by several companies and their prices and capital investment levels are regulated by Ofgem, an autonomous government regulator. 2.1. UK gas network composition The NTS has a total length of 7600 km (National Grid, 2011a). Gas leaves the transmission network at 175 ...
One of the major advantages of using steam propulsion is that boil-off gas, created by thermal conductivity through the tank walls and movement of the liquid in a seaway, can be readily burned in the ship's boilers. This saves the consumption of fuel oil bunkers (which escalated in price ...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the food and land system must fall drastically in the next decades to meet globally negotiated policy goals such as the Paris Accord. Along with deeper systemic changes, policies such as GHG prices are necessary for effective and efficient reductions of food ...
Shale oil in Northern America has been dismissed as unworkable and unprofitable ever since it started influencing global prices. Predictions of collapse have only grown more intense with rising production. But if you didn't predict the coming of shale oil in NA, what makes you think you can ...
Virtually all human infrastructure - gas stations, surface area of roads, hospitals etc., scale using similar biological allometry relationships (West, 2017). Connections – veins in bodies, social media, telephones or highways, scale at roughly ½ of the number of nodes squared (.5n2). Each...
Residence time affects biocrude production and quality, with increased yield and gas formation as temperature rises. The growth rate and lipid productivity of microalgae have become a focal point for next-generation biofuels. HTL emerges as a promising method, obviating energy-intensive drying ...
parameter is set randomly in the Monte Carlo simulation rather than derived through a general equilibrium model. The results should therefore be interpreted with caution as indicating potential future climate change risks to the existing economy rather than as quantitative predictions, given that the ...
Future energy prices and investment? Future energy markets (oil, gas, coal, nuclear power, wind, solar power etc) will be driven by EMOTION not just "market forces". Examples from recent disruptive energy-related events. Energy trends keynote speaker ...
13.In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas!You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket!You might even drive a flying car! Not all past predictions(预言) have been proven wrong.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers ...
