His CO2 figures are also wrong.
I wouldn’t even bother engaging him. Met his sort many times. It’s good to be proud of your job, and process engineers are super valuable people to have and worthy careers.His CO2 figures are also wrong.
Wow, he must be super rich on the back of those patents!!!You missed how he got nearly twice the efficiency from his plant than they can get from cutting edge fluid bed tech.
My source - me. I did this for 30 years including design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
Somebody has taken information out from the original post, he claims that lot of the efficiency is lost at the turbine. I'm not sure what he is claiming as a modern boiler but the gas boilers are certainly up there.Mostly shit. Boilers are not 90 something percent efficient. The rest is as bad. Munmorah was so good it was pulled down years ago. Not worth arguing the points which are so wrong.
Best practice with ultrasupercritical units is still a little over 40% overall. Combined cycle gas turnines can squeeze towards 60%. You can stretch that if you make use of the low quality steam that is otherwise condensed.

Don't ask me I'm not an engineer or selling the product but the original article I quoted is wrong someone left out info on it. He still stands by his boiler figures though, maybe someone needs to ask what boiler is he talking about.106% efficient?
Brown paper bags full on money are too big, well at least in Qld. andrew-antoniolli-fraud-charge-corruption-watchdog They already jailed the prick before him Pisasale and it's in the area where good old Pauline is popular too.When you’ve already got coal power shedding load because they’re being undercut by cheaper solar and wind you can’t see CCS ever having the multibillions invested... (assuming it would even work anyway).
Wow, some serious bullshit there, from the very first sentence - course 60-90% of the energy does go up the chimney. This guy is pretending that people are talking about boiler efficiency, when it is abundantly obvious to any casual observer that power plant efficiency refers to the overall thermal efficiency from coal combustion, not one stinking heat transfer element. I particularly enjoyed his offhand statement that 3MW is the largest wind turbine you can get - GE are currently building one 4 times as large. Pretty much any given detail doesn't check out, or is expressed in a technically inaccurate way because he doesn't understand what it is telling him (and the limitations).I'm not a power station engineer but you challenge him if you want, I'v got better things to worry about at the moment.

If it emits carbon from being dug up & burnt, it's bad. The end.One common metric used to investigate the effects of global warming is known as “equilibrium climate sensitivity”, defined as the full amount of global surface warming that will eventually occur in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentrations compared to pre-industrial times. It’s sometimes referred to as the holy grail of climate science because it helps quantify the specific risks posed to human society as the planet continues to warm.
We know that CO2 concentrations have risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 parts per million (ppm) to approximately 410 ppm today, the highest recorded in at least three million years. Without major mitigation efforts, we are likely to reach 560 ppm by around 2060.
When the IPCC’s fifth assessment report was published in 2013, it estimated that such a doubling of CO2 was likely to produce warming within the range of 1.5 to 4.5°C as the Earth reaches a new equilibrium. However, preliminary estimates calculated from the latest global climate models (being used in the current IPCC assessment, due out in 2021) are far higher than with the previous generation of models. Early reports are predicting that a doubling of CO2 may in fact produce between 2.8 and 5.8°C of warming. Incredibly, at least eight of the latest models produced by leading research centres in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and France are showing climate sensitivity of 5°C or warmer.
The question is, can we muster the best of our humanity in time?https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue...0/jo-lle-gergis/terrible-truth-climate-change
