We work in the golden age for biomethane - NetZero, bio-CO2 to CCS, Reverse Compression and Bio-CNG trucks

His big point was about methane leakage - any satellite data to support this? 7.9% leakage would surely be picked up by satellites?

Bio-CNG trucks have methane catalyst on exhaust,no ch4 to air?
What do you mean by lumpy pipelines?

They used to sponsor the Champions League but don’t anymore. I think that’s a key reason for their decline

In GB the capacity weighted average age of the CCGT fleet is 22.2 years
By 2030 most of the steam turbines will probably have been scrapped as load factor falls to <10% so we will have a fleet of around 20,000 MW of OCGT - we will then need 10,000 MW of new gas engines (more with growth)

The growth in natural gas trucks is even bigger and around 50% of new large HGVs will be gas in 2025

The truck market in China is switching from diesel to natural gas, biomethane can then replace that
Diesel is going to be finished for new HGVs from 2027 as gas leads

No 2 in this from 2021
No electricity generators are going to support, they all make £billions turning wind/solar into gas and they love the zonal pricing debate as it’s keeping politicians away from the key issue
It’s not rocket science
It’s not a conspiracy either, it’s just capitalism

The shift to natural gas trucks in China is amazing and facilitates bio-CNG
New diesel will be <10% of new trucks in 2027 and gone by 2030

I had not appreciated that sand batteries actually generate electricity
Very innovative, UK can lead in this
I’m just an energy dinosaur fondly attached to 30,000 MW of gas. I need to get to Blackpool and invest in sand batteries ahead of everyone else

Wind, solar, batteries, demand side response are all great for reducing the consumption of gas. So are interconnectors
But there has to be firm gas that can step in when other options are not available or exhausted
This is manifestly obvious

With all that negatively priced electricity on the way we can expect to see thousands of trucks like this on the road, carrying electricity from Highlands of Scotland to central England
This is alternative to making H2 and injecting into the NTS
US can’t compete with this

Every month the case is stronger for making Green H2 in scotland and injecting it into the NTS to displace imports of US shale LNG at 120% overall efficiency (taking into account energy used to make and ship LNG)
There is no better option, time to crack on

This report indirectly makes the case for biomethane to fuel HGVs
The attached XL screenshot shows how much better biomethane is than Hydrogen internal combustion

The CCGT fleet is just about economic with 30% gas generation in 2024 but by 2030 the fleet load factor is heading for <10% as we build wind generation
But we will still need this (or more) gas generation on windless days
Govt Cheque Book is coming out

It was never clear what it meant & easy to fudge. The big change is the data centre boom & if UK wants to participate in AI we need a lot of big data centres. To get a connection to the electricity grid takes years so needs gas - there is no plan B as has to be 99.999%
