Read MoreWho's to blame for high commodity – energy, food, metals, prices – it's the producers, stupid, not the banks and speculators
Happy New Year everyone. This article of mine re markets might be of interest (also below). http://seekingalpha.com/article/245574-who-s-to-blame-for-high-commodity-prices-it-s-the-producers-stupid v=1294568746&source=tracking_notify In my view commodity markets have two price boundary ‘trend-lines’: a ‘sellers’ market’ upper boundary, where consumer demand destruction sets in, and a ‘buyers’ market’ lower boundary, where ‘production destruction’ sets in. The current situation, where finance […]
Read MoreGerman government major conclusions of a review of energy policy in its Energiekonzept.
On 14 September 2010 09:42, Matt Phillips In case you have not studied the German Energiekonzept document, below are some informal notes on what it says. Last week the German government released its major conclusions of a review of energy policy in its Energiekonzept. If your German is up to scratch, here it is: http://www.bmu.de/files/pdfs/allgemein/application/pdf/entw_energiekonzept_kf.pdf […]
Read MoreWrong-Footing the CRC – Carbon Reduction Commitment DECC
The Carbon Reduction Commitment or CRC came into effect this April and appears to have taken many by sur-prise. One newspaper suggested that as many as 43% of potential CRC partici-pants had never heard of it. The timetable for the scheme is such that those organisations claiming igno-rance will fail to register by the end […]

Read MoreCarbon Capture and Storage in the UK Questions that Need to Be Asked
F.Starr PhD, BSc, FIMMM, C.Eng: Materials and Energy Consultant Dr F Starr played a major part in the EU Supported Dynamis Programme, in which natural gas steam reforming, and coal based IGCC based processes, were to be developed to capture CO2 from fossil fuels. Both processes would produce a hydrogen rich gas which […]
Read MoreCCS Carbon Capture and Storage – the facts.
Dear Oliver, You’re not alone in your scepticism! However, you’re wrong about the CO2 emissions. The reality is that coal +CCS as currently defined/mandated emits significantly less CO2 than NG CCGT without CCS (‘unabated’), because authorities in the UK (and most countries except Japan) are demanding c.90% CO2 removal from coal, whereas CCGT emits about […]

Read MoreA note on the importance of fast acting mitigation measures Dr. Mark Barrett 20.03.09
Of critical importance is global warming over periods of decades, the time integrated radiative forcing of greenhouse gases, and so early, small reductions in GHGs can be as important as later larger reductions, especially given the increasing concern about ‘tipping points’. Measures such as motorway speed reduction (< 5 years implementation) and car downsizing (~15 […]
