The bigger problem is that China has built more refineries than it needs. These processed 9% more volume in September than the year before, outstripping consumption growth. Though its state oil giants have somewhat curbed their expansion plans, eight refineries have added or will add capacity this year, with three more next year, notes Mr. Szpakowski. This overcapacity is getting pushed onto the rest of Asia, just like in other commodities such as steel. That has hurt refiners especially near China, such as South Korea’s S-Oil and SK Innovation . And there is likely more pain, as refining margins temporarily buffered by cheaper crude get competed away. Though China is inflicting pain on the products market, crude-oil bulls should also be worried. If the country cuts its refining capacity down the road, it won’t need that much crude. And while some of the imported crude may get gobbled up by China’s strategic petroleum reserve, there are constraints there, too...."<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.mofuel.com/p/locators.html" rel="" target=""><span style="color: blue;"><b>Alternative Fueling Station</b>&nbsp;<b>&amp;</b>&nbsp;<b>Mobile Truck Stop Electrification Site</b>&nbsp;<b>Locators</b></span></a><br /> <br /> <div style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/includes/gas_diesel_rss.xml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>US Energy Information Administration Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update</b></a></div> <div style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/</b></a></div> <div style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> *www.mofuel.com is not affiliated with the Alternative Fuels Data Center, the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC), or the U.S. Dept. of Energy, sources of the information provided herein</div> <br /> <a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="https://twitter.com/mofuelcom" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Follow @mofuelcom</a><br /> <div> <br /></div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187528124869140276.post-85258155483265589802015-01-19T00:00:00.000+12:002015-01-19T00:00:02.890+12:00<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/nov/10/-sp-the-real-story-of-us-coal-inside-the-worlds-biggest-coal-mine" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The real story of US coal: inside the world's biggest coalmine | Environment | The Guardian</a>: "....Instead, a stock email attributed to Jessica Kershaw, the interior spokeswoman, confirmed that Obama was committed to mining more coal. “As part of the Obama Administration’s all-of-the-above energy strategy, the Department of the Interior and specifically the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is committed to the safe and responsible development of both traditional and renewable energy resources on public lands,” the email read. “The BLM also recognizes that coal is a key component of America’s comprehensive energy portfolio and the nation’s economy.” The email did not mention climate change. For Peabody though, the aim is expansion. The company produced 134m tonnes of coal from its combined Powder River Basin mines last year, and was on track to increase production this year, Durgin said. “I’ve been asked when is the end of the mine,” said Durgin. “I don’t know.

Economists also note that the effects on both consumers and producers could take a while to show up in official data. On the energy investment side, for example, it takes time for investment decisions to ripple through the market. Capital spending cuts might not happen suddenly because producers tend to hedge against short-term price declines by selling oil in the futures market. The benefits to consumers also accrue over time as drivers fill up their tanks. So far, lower gas prices have saved the average household around $80, according to ClearView Energy Partners. If prices were to stay at their current levels for a year, the savings could rise to around $340 a household. What about jobs? Don’t look for a big drag here. Goldman estimates that the main oil and gas production industries have added around 280,000 jobs over the last four years, or around 5,000 jobs per month. That’s a small share of total U.S. employment, since overall employers have added around 220,000 jobs per month over the past year."</i><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.mofuel.com/p/locators.html" rel="" target=""><span style="color: blue;"><b>Alternative Fueling Station</b>&nbsp;<b>&amp;</b>&nbsp;<b>Mobile Truck Stop Electrification Site</b>&nbsp;<b>Locators</b></span></a><br /> <br /> <div style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/includes/gas_diesel_rss.xml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>US Energy Information Administration Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update</b></a></div> <div style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/</b></a></div> <div style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"> *www.mofuel.com is not affiliated with the Alternative Fuels Data Center, the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC), or the U.S. Dept. of Energy, sources of the information provided herein</div> <br /> <a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="https://twitter.com/mofuelcom" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Follow @mofuelcom</a><br /> <div> <br /></div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187528124869140276.post-82493229655056497362014-12-29T00:00:00.000+12:002014-12-29T00:00:02.656+12:00<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/video/elon-musk-s-big-bet-on-battery-technology-VUXwTgOARASLqSd7yzXzQA.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elon Musk’s Big Bet on Battery Technology: Video - Bloomberg</a>: <object data="http://www.bloomberg.com/video/embed/VUXwTgOARASLqSd7yzXzQA?height=395&amp;width=640" height="430" style="overflow: hidden;" width="640"></object><br /> <i>(Allow video to load after clicking play or go to link above)</i><br /> <br /> Bloomberg’s Cory Johnson discusses how Tesla CEO Elon Musk is disrupting utilities.

Semprius, a startup based in Durham, North Carolina, claims that the next generation of this power unit will make solar power the cheapest option for utilities installing new power plants. With fields of over 1,000 of these devices, utilities would produce electricity at less than 5 cents per kilowatt-hour. That is even cheaper than today’s least expensive option: a new natural gas plant. The technology originated in the lab of John Rogers, a professor of chemistry and materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois. Semprius has raised $45 million from investors including Siemens, and has set records for solar-cell efficiency—meaning the amount of energy in sunlight that is converted into electricity. This year it demonstrated that it could use a version of its technology to make a novel kind of solar cell that, some believe, could convert half of the energy in sunlight into electricity, about three times better than conventional solar cells. Yet for all the promise of the technology, Semprius is in a tough financial spot. For its technology to be cost-effective, Semprius must scale up the production of its solar cells significantly. Right now it can make enough solar units to produce six megawatts of power per year, but it needs to raise that to at least 200 megawatts.&nbsp;The company is raising $40 million in hopes of doing this. Its current investors say they’ll contribute, and for now they’re loaning the company money to keep it in business, but they won’t do so forever. The company needs a new investor soon.

And so long as there is demand for more energy at the hours at which solar and wind are delivering (which is the case right now), then the situation is great. The long-term obstacle, beyond perhaps 20% of grid penetration, is ‘dispatchability’ – the ability to issue the precise amount of energy needed, when it’s needed – perhaps hours after the energy is generated (for example, at night, when the sun isn’t shining, or during still hours of the day), or perhaps just minutes later.

The electrolyzer projects under construction in Germany typically consist of a few buildings, each the size of a shipping container, that consume excess renewable energy on sunny and windy days by turning it into an electric current that powers the water-splitting reaction. The resulting hydrogen can then be pumped into the storage and distribution infrastructure already used for natural gas and eventually turned back into electricity via combustion or fuel cells. It can also be used for a variety of other purposes, such as powering natural-gas vehicles, heating homes, and making fertilizer. Germany isn’t the only country investing in hydrogen energy storage.

The cost to launch a new car model, including costs of developing and tooling, is generally $1 billion to $1.5 billion. For a company starting from scratch, such as Google, that cost would likely be higher, say auto industry experts. Some industry observers have suggested that Google should pair up with Tesla, which is also developing self-driving technology and which shares Google's Silicon Valley mindset. With roughly $60 billion in cash, Google could also acquire a smaller auto company, some speculate, though they note that such a move would involve more ongoing costs, liabilities and cultural challenges then Google may be willing to accept. “Google is the 800-pound gorilla in the room and nobody wants to miss the boat,” said Edwin Olson, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Michigan, who works with Ford on an automated vehicle project. “But at the same time I don't think automakers want Google to be dictating terms if the time comes and Google is the only game in town.”" (read more at link above)</i><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.mofuel.com/p/locators.html" rel="" target=""><span style="color: blue;"><b>Alternative Fueling Station</b>&nbsp;<b>&amp;</b>&nbsp;<b>Mobile Truck Stop Electrification Site</b>&nbsp;<b>Locators</b></span></a><br /> <br /> <div style="color: #666666;

Demand destruction is different from energy efficiency. Efficiency is when you decide to use a little less of a resource than you did last year (turn out the lights, drive a more efficient car) or on a seasonal basis (turn down the heat during the winter). That can be a bummer for a provider. But in many instances, it is part of the business model... Demand destruction occurs when you eliminate or substantially reduce the need for the resource on a near-permanent basis. Somebody trading in a Chevrolet Malibu for a Nissan Leaf won’t be buying any gasoline for the next 10 years. Replacing a 30-year-old air conditioner with a more efficient new one will significantly reduce the power associated with cooling. Innovations in technology and business models can hasten the process of demand destruction—think of how the advent of iTunes cut into the sales of CDs... And when a company puts solar panels on the roof of a big-box retailer, as Ikea has done on 40 of its U.S. stores, or as Walmart has done (89 megawatts of capacity at 215 locations as of last fall), it is effectively destroying a decent chunk of demand over the 20-year life of the system. When a lot of people decide to go solar in the same city or area, it can add up...."
