In previous comments dated 03/11/2022 and 28/10/2022, we presented our thoughts regarding the current status of Small-scale GTL technologies, as well as the results of a statistical analysis of patenting activity in the field of syngas production by Small-scale GTL. In this note, we will try to analyze the main trends in recent patent solutions. One of the most popular trends in patent solutions related to the production of syngas by...
For many centuries, people have tried to harness the power of wind to make everyday life easier and processes more efficient. The first constructions were called windmills and used for pumping water or grinding corn. In the 19th century, windmills were replaced by fossil fuel engines and a distributed power network. In the second half of the 20th century, a greater insight into aerodynamics and advanced materials, particularly...
Small-scale GTL plants are complex technical structures in which technological operations are sequentially carried out to convert raw organic feedstock, first into synthesis gas, and then into various hydrocarbons. Presently, such plants are manufactured by several companies, mainly for use in remote areas of oil production for the beneficial utilization of associated gas. In a previous comment dated 28/10/2022, we reviewed the current...
In this short post, we'll cover some interesting energy events around the world in November. A rather large and representative exhibition, Expo Lighting America 2022, will be held on November 8-9 in Mexico City. Here, about 1,400 exhibitors from 62 countries will present their products relating to various segments of modern lighting. Among them are Hardware, Interior Designers, Electrical Installers, Retailers, Distributors,...
Aenert news. Energy TrendsGas-to-Liquid-Technologien (GTL) haben mehrere Phasen langer und relativ erfolgreicher Entwicklung sowie eine ziemlich entwickelte Infrastruktur für ihre Anwendung. Einerseits belegen die mittlerweile lange Betriebsgeschichte großer GTL-Anlagen in Katar, Südafrika, Malaysia und Nigeria die Attraktivität dieser Technologie, andererseits aber auch hohe...
Each month, Eurostat presents an overview of the macroeconomic situation in the euro area and the European Union with the main indicators of production, demand, labor and prices. The latest statistics operate mainly with data for the third quarter of 2022 based on the figures available in October 2022. Overall, the economic situation in the EU is characterized by a persistent rise in inflation, mainly due to high energy and food...
Organic photochemistry is a scientific area encompassing processes which play an important role in enabling life on our planet. These processes have recently been afforded renewed scientific interest as it enables scientists to cheaply and effectively create new molecules. Gaining greater insights into already known processes can sometimes lead to incredible results and help design better materials than such that can be created by...
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently published data on electricity generation in the U.S. for the first half of 2022. In our opinion, of particular interest is the data on wind generation, as the main area of renewable energy in the U.S. This is also relevant because of the growing global crisis in the fossil fuel energy sector. First of all, it should be noted that the share of renewables in U.S. power generation...
The sun is an abundant source of energy. The sunlight which hits the earth in the course of a day is enough to cover the world’s energy consumption for a very long time. This energy can be harnessed using photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation and used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage. Solar panels, also known as photovoltaics, are made up of semiconductor...
The new environment statistics at the regional level, presented by Eurostat, provide data on water, forests, soil and air pollution in the EU, raising awareness that human activities strongly influence climate change and ecological degradation, posing a serious long-term threat to the environment. Eurostat highlights the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a long-term strategy aimed at combating environmental...
