1/5 a thread of mothballing the PetraNova CCS facility.

Last week @cleanaircatf wrote a short piece on the topic, including links to key reports & documents that provide support my points below 👇

2/5 First order of business: PetraNova came in on time, on budget, and has successfully wrangled 4 million tons CO2 since commissioning in 2017. It did exactly what is was supposed to do and well.

Thanks @NRGgg & @fossilenergygov
3/5 The mothballed status of PetroNova was due to the loss of revenues from EOR sales.

NOTE: the facility has NOT claimed 45Q tax credits (which would improve the economics) and relied on oil sale revenues to remain profitable.

1/9 Hey Energy Twitter! A few thoughts on @drvox fine new article on power-to-gas (#PtG) as described by @WartsilaEnergy. Both good pieces of work. I have a few thoughts & friendly amendments. Thanks for the prompt, @JasonBordoff

2/9 #PtG technologies convert CO2 & H2 to methane. There are many ways to do this: check out companies like @GlobalSunfire @Greyrockenergy & @Opus12CO2. If CO2 feedstocks come from point sources it recycles once. If it comes from the air by DAC, it’s circular C economy.
3/9 The article explores 3 scenarios in CA where overgenerated renewable power creates green H2. The lowest cost scenario uses #PtG to decarbonize existing natgas power plants (works for trucks too). This was explored by @EFIForTheFuture in a 2019 report: energyfuturesinitiative.org/efi-reports

So excited to be exhibiting about climate science, #carbontech, and Open NanoCarbon at #Basf19 #sciencetogether! Together we can practice #CDR before it's too late.
Excited to see all kids and adults curious about climate science, carbon tech and semiconducting and metaloid graphene, at the Discovery Day! Let's get more carbon tech faster! @BayAreaSciFest @UCSF @OracleParkSF #stemforkids #stemgirls #weneedmore #CDR ImageImage
