Industry Decarbonization News Nov 9, 2023

Is green methanol an overlooked storage option for the electricity grid? @nworbmot and @euronion argue that it has sometimes advantages over hydrogen. Storing H2 is often difficult, methanol is liquid and therefore much easier to store. Combined with an oxyfuel turbine, carbon could be cycled, avoiding CO2 sourcing for the methanol production. #methanol #storage https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/should-we-burn-methanol-when-the-wind-does-not-blow.html?source=mastodon

Should we burn Methanol when the Wind does not blow?

Electricity grids with high shares of wind and solar energy will require energy storage over long periods of time. A new study suggests that green methanol might be more attractive than hydrogen in some cases.

Ultra-long-duration energy storage anywhere: methanol with carbon cycling

YouTube

Renewables make energy systems reliant on the weather. 🌦️
We will need storage. But how can we handle seasonal and inter-annual storage?🗓️

We make a case for e-methanol with carbon cycling in a closed carbon loop.♻️
Methanol is liquid, storage can be built anywhere.

Is the license cost for Office 365 required to calculate WtG emissions for section 45V #hydrogen under #IRA using GREET tax-deductable?

Why do we continue to build our world on #excel ?

Uff, EDF estimates methane leakage from pipelines in USA to be 1.25-2.66 Mt/a (69 - 147 PJ/a), saying official U.S. EPA estimates are up to 8 times **too low**.

147 PJ/a are ~1% of EU annual gas consumption.
