The need for energy storage to balance intermittent and inflexible electricity supply with demand is driving interest in conversion of renewable via electrolysis into a storable gas. But, high capital cost uncertainty regarding future performance improvements are barriers investment water electrolysis. Expert elicitations can support decision-making when data sparse their development uncertain. Therefore, this study presents expert views on cost, lifetime efficiency three technologies:...

Global decarbonisation scenarios include Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a key technology to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the power industrial sectors. However, few large scale CCS plants are operating worldwide. This mismatch between expectations reality is caused by series of barriers which preventing this being adopted more widely. The goal paper identify review development, with focus on recent cost estimates, assess potential enable access fossil fuels without causing...

Abstract The feasibility of large-scale biological CO 2 removal to achieve stringent climate targets remains unclear. Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) offers an alternative negative emissions technology (NET) option. Here we conduct the first inter-model comparison on role DACCS in 1.5 °C scenarios, under a variety techno-economic assumptions. Deploying significantly reduces mitigation costs, it complements rather than substitutes other NETs. key factor limiting deployment is...

Whether and how long-term energy climate targets can be reached depend on a range of interlinked factors: technology, economy, environment, policy, society at large. Integrated assessment models change or energy-system have limited representations societal transformations, such as behavior various actors, transformation dynamics in time, heterogeneity across within societies. After reviewing the state art, we propose research agenda to guide experiments integrate more insights from social...

Micro-combined heat and power (CHP) holds great potential for lowering energy cost CO2 emissions in the residential housing sector. Of various micro-CHP technologies, fuel cells, particular solid oxide show promise due to their high electrical efficiency resulting low heat-to-power ratio that is better suited applications. However, cells are still under development capital of units available today remains high. This paper looks at technological aspects operating modes relevant as well...

Several influential energy systems models indicate that renewable must provide a significant share of the world's electricity to limit global temperature rises below 2 °C this century. To better represent costs and other implications shift, it is important these realistically characterise technical economic potential technologies. Towards goal, paper presents first temporally-explicit Geospatial Information System (GIS) methodology onshore wind with respect topographical features, land use...

Natural gas is typically considered to be the cleaner-burning fossil fuel that could play an important role within a restricted carbon budget. While natural emits less CO2 when burned than other fuels, its main constituent methane, which has much stronger climate forcing impact in short term. Estimates of methane emissions supply chain have been subject controversy, due uncertainties associated with estimation methods, data quality, and assumptions used. This Perspective presents...

Several influential energy systems models (ESMs) indicate that renewable must supply a large share of the world's electricity to limit global temperature increases 1.5 °C. To better represent costs and other implications such transition, it is important ESMs can realistically characterise technical economic potential resources.
