Energy Seminar Week 7 TT24 Beyond 2030 A national blueprint for a decarbonised electricity system
The ESO (Electricity System Operator) published a plan called “Beyond 2030” in March 2024. This plan outlines an ambitious investment of over £58bn in transmission infrastructure up until 2030. The goal of this plan is to connect approximately 85GW of offshore wind capacity and facilitate the transition to a zero carbon electricity system. The seminar will delve into the background, decision-making processes, outcomes, and future steps related to achieving a zero carbon electricity system, which is a crucial component of the future net zero economy.

Nuclear Why small is beautiful
Переглядів 563 місяці тому
Why are Small Modular Reactors the future for nuclear? For one, their reduced scale and off-site manufacturability: a key factor that reduces the expenses and extended timelines linked to large-scale reactors. This also brings a reduction of financial risk - a result of simplified commercial deployment - which creates a more attractive prospect for significant private sector funding. Together, ...

Energy is everywhere in refugee camps: in the homes, businesses, and community spaces of refugees. However, this topic is rarely discussed in academic or practitioner contexts. To understand more about this important issue, this seminar will present ethnographic research from the journal article on the ‘Secret Life of Energy in Refugee Camps’, as well as outlining findings from the ‘State of th...

In his new book Chris looks at the remaining challenges for the energy transition. We know that we need to ‘electrify everything we can’ and that our power sources will be predominantly solar and wind. But what about the more intractable problems? Possible: Ways to Net Zero examines 18 different challenges, ranging from the cement industry or plastics through raw material shortages to issues su...
Centralisation, state intervention and the redistribution of power in energy markets
Переглядів 497 місяців тому
State intervention in the energy sector has become increasingly evident, even in the most liberal arrangement of electricity markets - including in the UK. However, the literature treats these as marginal interventions to provide incentives or reduce business risks. This presentation argues that the role of state intervention is more structural than just intervention on price signals. The prese...

The way we use energy will have to undergo fundamental changes during the transition towards a net-zero world. Many of the technical solutions are known: insulate homes, electrify heating and transport, deploy smarter, more efficient and flexible appliances. But how well do they work in practice? Tracking the impact requires careful observation and robust control groups. This seminar shows how ...

Electricity will meet an increasing fraction of the world’s growing energy needs as fossil fuels are phased out. In Great Britain most will be provided by wind and solar. To match wind and solar, which are volatile, with demand, which is variable, they must be complemented by using wind and solar generated electricity that has been stored when there is an excess, and/or supply from large-scale ...

    There is no need to wait for the price of Green Hydrogen cost to come down. Have you ever heard of government subsidies ? Just as roads, railways and oil companies Green Hydrogen must be subsidized by tax funds until the scaling slows for profit taking in the markets. What’s the goal here are we trying to save the planet or make investors rich? You decide.

      Energy such as green hydrogen or renewables are levied via the huge and opaque ecosystem of subsidies that costs us billions which nobody talks about, that create subsidised jobs...and not useful, practical, reliable, secure, taxed and revenue creating energy.

    All hydrogen stocks suck and will continue to suck until electrolyzers are conceived, designed, and built that can produce millions of tons of hydrogen per annum. Right now, this is not even close to possible and there is not one shred of evidence by alkaline cell, PEM, SOEC or any other electrolyzer design that it will be possible in the future. Hydrogen electrolyzers and fuel cells are total nonsense in India and everywhere else, the "Hydrogen stocks" are hopeless losers because none of the electrolyzer companies can deliver industrial-scale capacity. They only offer small-scale electrolysis capacity, so they can't provide anything but small-scale revenue. Small-scale revenue will never eclipse their operating budget, so they cannot show a profit (earnings). Small-scale electrolyzers cannot make enough H2 from water to reduce CO2 output at an industrial scale, so they are irrelevant. Renewable energy is coming on line quickly, but to reduce global warming, one must decarbonize all of the greenhouse gas emitting sectors -- transportation, agriculture, residential & commercial building and industrial sources (primarily concrete, glass, steel and industrial chemicals). That means we must create decarbonized fuels such as green ammonia, whereby we take cheap and abundant renewable energy and split water into cheap hydrogen and oxygen. Then, humanity can remove nitrogen from the air (air is 78% Nitrogen) and, using the Haber Bosch method, combine the green H2 and N to make green ammonia (NH3). Ammonia, as a "liquid carrier of hydrogen fuel," can carry more hydrogen/BTUs by volume at a reasonable temperature and pressure than gaseous or liquid hydrogen. Large-scale electrolyzers (no existing electrolyzer manufacturer can provide) would allow green ammonia to fuel and power all greenhouse gas emitting sectors. When electrolyzers are scaled to provide ammonia-scale plants producing four million metric tons of anhydrous ammonia per year, replacing methane feedstock; call me. It is important to realize that to produce one ton of ammonia using today's methane "steam reformation process" conventional ammonia producers for nitrogenous fertilizers release 2.84 tons of CO2.

    The Earth is cooler with the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. (ua-cam.com/video/0Jijw7-YG-U/v-deo.html) The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG warming, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming. Version 1.0 053022

    1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere, makes the earth cooler than it would be without the atmosphere like that reflective panel set on the dash. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth becomes much like the moon, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory it gets from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a near ideal .95 emissivity black body which 4) it cannot do because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules. 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change. All science backed up by experiment, the gold standard of classical science. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicholas-schroeder-55934820_climatechange-greenhouse-co2-activity-6749812735246254080-bc6K version 1.0 021721 oxford
