Beyond CATF’s Biased Analysis: Why Firm Power Isn’t The Full Answer
CATF recently published a report entitled Beyond LCOE: A Systems-Oriented Perspective for Evaluating Electricity Decarbonization Pathways advocating for a shift in how we evaluate energy technologies. At face value, their core criticism, that Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) alone does not capture the full economic complexity of integrating intermittent renewable … [continued]

Why Hydrogen Won’t Win The Zero-Carbon Steel Race
Recent adjustments to my projections for global steel demand through 2100, reflecting a significant slowdown in Chinese infrastructure and cement consumption, have sharpened my economic focus on competing new steelmaking technologies. With lower growth trajectories for steel firmly established, every ton produced in the coming decades will increasingly face stringent … [continued]

Steel’s Declining Demand Sharpens Focus On Molten Oxide Electrolysis
In my recent reassessment of global steel demand trajectories, particularly in light of declining cement consumption driven by a slowing Chinese construction sector, I’m revisiting several zero-carbon steel production pathways. One that stands out for its unique electrochemical elegance and considerable engineering complexity is molten oxide electrolysis (MOE). It’s an … [continued]

Could Electrified Biomethane DRI Make Steel Production Carbon-Negative?
This week, I had the opportunity to participate in TenneT’s scenario planning for its ambitious 2050 Target Grid project. The session was notable for including Professor Heleen de Coninck, one of the Netherlands’ experts on industrial decarbonization and climate change. Her involvement emphasized the critical importance of identifying scalable pathways … [continued]
