District heating vs Heat-pumps in meeting ambitious climate targets for SwedenIEA-ETSAP
This document discusses a study comparing scenarios with and without district heating (DH) in Sweden to reduce CO2 emissions. A energy system optimization model called TIMES-Sweden was used to analyze the long-term impacts of DH. The results showed that a system with DH can reduce CO2 emissions without increasing power production compared to a system relying more on heat pumps. A DH scenario also used biomass more efficiently and had lower total system costs. The study concluded DH has benefits over heat pumps in decreasing CO2 emissions, even if the power sector is decarbonized.

Emissions reduction potential in regions of Kazakhstan using TIMES-16RKZ modelIEA-ETSAP
The TIMES-16RKZ model was used to assess emissions reduction potential in Kazakhstan's 16 regions under different scenarios. The model found that meeting Kazakhstan's INDC target of reducing emissions 15% below 1990 levels would require reducing coal consumption 21% compared to business as usual. Most reductions would come from the energy supply sector through improved efficiency rather than reduced demand. The key emitting regions of Almaty, Karaganda, and Pavlodar would see the largest decreases in emissions through retirement of old coal plants, increased gas generation, and new capacities in high demand growth areas. Regional policies will be important to realize differences in energy demand and prices across Kazakhstan.
The members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), namely Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman,
and United Arab Emirates (UAE), are facing challenges to meet the growing electricity demand and reduce the
associated hydrocarbon emissions. Recently, there has been a pressing need for a shift towards smart power
grids, as smart grids can reduce the stress on the grid, defer the investments for upgrades, improve the power
system efficiency, and reduce emissions. Accordingly, the goal of this paper is to delineate an overview of
current smart grid efforts in the GCC region. First, we present a detailed overview of the current state of the
power grids. Then, we classify the efforts into three broad categories: (i) energy trading and exchange through
GCC interconnection; (ii) integration of renewable resources; and (iii) demand side management technologies
for shaping the demand profile. Furthermore, we provide the details of our API object level real-time GCC
power demand automated program that creates the database for the load profiles of the GCC members.
Accessing such information for research and development purposes is a critical step in the region, because
due the conservative structure of the governing institutes, there is no publicly available dataset. Therefore,
the data provided in this paper is critical and will serve as a main reference for the future research efforts.
This document summarizes the results of a study applying a methodology called "model archaeology" to analyze the development of the UK MARKAL energy system model over multiple versions from 2002 to 2012. Model archaeology examines changes to a model's inputs (e.g. technology parameters) and outputs (e.g. energy consumption) between versions. The study found the UK MARKAL model evolved through four stages - initial development, experimentation and incremental improvement, reflection, and maturity and reimagining. Input and output metrics were analyzed to understand how changes to technologies, constraints, and parameters influenced outputs over time as the model balanced complexity and accuracy.
The document discusses opportunities in the energy sector resulting from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 stimulus package. It outlines how $787 billion was allocated, with $67 billion for energy, including $45 billion for direct energy spending and $22 billion in tax incentives. The Department of Energy received $51 billion, with $39 billion for energy programs including renewable energy, fossil fuels, electricity infrastructure, and research. The stimulus also provided $12.5 billion in loan guarantees for renewable and transmission projects.
1) Vietnam has begun importing coal since 2011 due to domestic production not keeping up with demand and companies preferring to export rather than supply the local market.
2) Domestic coal demand is projected to increase substantially over the next two decades, reaching over 220 million metric tons by 2030, far exceeding domestic production capacity.
3) This growing import demand represents an opportunity for coal exporters, as Vietnam looks to import over 150 million metric tons of coal annually by 2030 to meet power generation and industrial needs.
This document provides an overview of the evolution of fuel sources for power generation in the United States from 1882 to present day. It discusses the initial dominance of coal due to its low cost and availability. It then outlines key events and developments that led to changes in the fuel mix, including the introduction of nuclear power in the 1950s, the oil crises of the 1970s that spurred renewable energy development, natural gas power generation growth in the 1990s-2000s, and the recent renewed interest in coal and nuclear power. The document examines changes in industry structure and regulation over time and the role of new technologies, policies, and market forces in shaping the current U.S. power sector.
Changes to the generation portfolio, the introduction of significant renewable resources, and the deployment of customer-side resources are fundamentally changing the way electricity is produced and delivered to customers. These changes are having a significant impact on the developments and operation of the transmission system and are occurring in an environment of decreasing demand growth which impacts utility revenues and puts pressure on rates. This presentation will examine how they will impact the amount and location of transmission needed, the rates that can be charged for it, and its relative value in a utility’s portfolio assets.
The document discusses trends and technology developments in new energy sources. It notes that coal will remain dominant for the next 30 years but that carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies need to reduce costs to enable clean coal. Natural gas consumption will continue growing, increasingly coming from liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports. Renewables need government support to become cost competitive. Technology innovations can help meet emissions targets by enabling clean coal, reducing CCS costs, and scaling offshore LNG.

This document provides an overview of the global deployment of large-capacity stationary fuel cells from 2000-2017. It finds that over 800MW of fuel cell systems over 200kW have been installed worldwide, dominated by molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, and phosphoric acid fuel cells. South Korea and the US together make up almost 95% of installed capacity. The deployment trends are influenced by factors like energy/climate policies, funding programs, competing technologies, manufacturer presence, and energy prices in different regions. Considerable financial incentives would be needed to achieve similar deployment levels in Europe, where small-medium scale applications are currently the focus.
The document summarizes energy consumption and production trends in Pakistan from 1996-1997 to 2006-2007. Some key points:

This document discusses issues and challenges facing India's energy sector. It notes that India is both a major energy producer and consumer, ranking 7th in production and 5th in consumption globally. Meeting future energy needs is a major challenge as over half the population lacks access to electricity or commercial energy. Coal remains the primary energy resource but reserves will only last 140 more years at current production levels. Import dependence for oil and gas is rising and will likely increase further. Renewable sources currently contribute around 3-6% of energy but will need to supply more to address climate change and energy security concerns.
Snam's 2019-2023 strategic plan outlines investments of €6.5 billion, with €5.3 billion for regulated activities and €1.4 billion for energy transition initiatives. The plan focuses on continuous improvement of the core regulated business through maintenance and replacement investments, as well as enhanced exposure to the energy transition through investments in biomethane, hydrogen, energy efficiency, and small-scale LNG. Snam expects to deliver industry-leading financial results over the plan period through consistent regulated returns, growth of the RAB, cost efficiencies, and contributions from international and energy transition activities.
This document summarizes the key points from a report on the cost of power generation from renewable and traditional technologies. It covers the following main topics:
1. It introduces the concepts of capital cost and levelized cost of electricity as the two fundamental yardsticks used to compare generation costs. However, it notes limitations in accounting for risk.
2. It discusses how risk, volatility, and liberalized electricity markets have introduced new sources of risk for generation investments from factors like fuel price fluctuations. Portfolio management tools are now being used to manage these risks.
3. Historical cost data and trends are examined to understand past predictions and learn lessons that can inform future projections. Technology learning curves also reveal how costs change
Rothwell Braun THE COST STRUCTURE OF INTERNATIONAL URANIUM ENRICHMENT SERVICE...myatom
This document analyzes the international uranium enrichment services market. It finds that as older gaseous diffusion plants are retired, the supply curve will shift, lowering prices. By 2015, prices could drop 41% to $80/SWU from $135/SWU in 2005 due to increased centrifuge capacity. However, lower prices may decrease profits and investment incentives, so some market intervention may be needed to control prices and discourage proliferation of enrichment technology to non-fuel states.

The document discusses direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) as a promising power source that could replace diesel generators currently used in the oil and gas industry. DMFC is a type of proton exchange membrane fuel cell that uses methanol instead of hydrogen as a fuel. It argues that DMFCs offer economic, technical, and environmental advantages over diesel generators and could become a game changer for power supply in oil and gas operations. However, the technology is not yet at a scale for large-scale applications and further development is needed, particularly of proton exchange membranes, to allow commercialization.

The Coal Power Decommissioning Market
2013-2023
As Table 4.22 and Figure 4.33 show, Poland is expected to decommission around 5.8GW of its
coal power over 2013-2018 and another 5.8GW over the second half of the forecast period. Annual
spending on decommissioning is expected to rise from $51m in 2013 to $53m in 2018 with a
CAGR of 0.8% over 2013-2018. Over the second half of the forecast period this spending will fall to
$43m in 2023, with a CAGR of -4.1% over 2018-2023. The cumulative sum of spending on coal
power decommissioning is expected to be $550m over 2013-2023, with a CAGR of -1.7% over that
period.

6. Expert Opinion ____
6.1 TRC Companies Inc.
TRC Companies Inc. is an environment engineering and consultancy company, headquartered in
Massachusetts, US. Edward Malley is the Vice President of TRC and manages exit strategies for
retirement, retrofit and replacement of aging power generation facilities. Visiongain interviewed
Edward Malley in June 2013 and would like to thank him for his comments.
6.1.1 TRC’s Projects in the Coal Power Industry
Visiongain: What are the major projects or developments in which TRC is involved?
Edward Malley: TRC has, or is in the process of, decommissioning fifteen generating stations in
the US for Con Edison, National Grid, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and other utilities. These
plants are located in New York, California, Texas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and West Virginia.
These markets started with oil fired plants on the east and west coasts and have progressed to the
coal belt.
6.1.2 Technical Challenges in the Coal Power Decommissioning Market
Visiongain: Are there any technical challenges involved in decommissioning coal power plants?
Edward Malley: Health and safety of workers and the public must be the first priority. Technical
issues include weakened and corroded structures, energized systems, asbestos and hazardous
materials, and rigging of heavy equipment from higher elevations. Dust and vibration may affect
nearby transmission systems.
6.1.3 Drivers in the Coal Power Plant Decommissioning Market
Visiongain: What are the drivers or advantages (socially, politically, economically, technologically
or regulatory) for decommissioning of coal-fired power plants?
Edward Malley: Many plant closures are driven by economics because natural gas prices are low
and modern gas turbine plants have more efficient heat rates than steam turbine technology.
Environmental regulatory drivers include air regulations (1 hour national ambient air quality
standards for SO2 and NOx), water regulations (impingement and entrainment and effluent limit

AECOM is present in 140 countries, on six continents. The company offers two types of services
(a) professional technical services and (b) management support services for the following business
segments; architecture, building engineering, design & planning, design build, economics, energy,
environment, government, oil & gas, program, cost, consultancy, programme management,
transportation and water.
For over 40 years, AECOM has been providing environmental and engineering services to the
power industry. The company has been involved in 75 power related projects. The
decommissioning projects involve preparation of an Environmental Control Plan, which addresses
changes during the demolition of a power plant.
Other services include pre-demolition assessments which allows for proactive planning of soil
management. The company is not only involved in decommissioning, but also retrofitting of power
plants to meet environmental standards. One of the contracts that the company was offered was a
$275m project for design, procurement, installation and start-up of environmental controls to
improve air emission at NRG Energy’s coal burning power plants, located near New York. This
involves installation of filters and additional equipment for abatement of particulate matter, sulphur
dioxide, mercury, and nitrogen oxide emissions. The contract involved work on two power stations,
namely Huntley Generating Station in 2008 and Dunkirk Generating Station work that was carried
out in 2009.
