Annual Energy Outlook

TL;DR: In this paper, the variations in the growth pattern of the dendritic shaped Cu microstructures were studied to understand the evolution of Cu dendrites with respect to several electrolysis parameters viz. applied bias voltage, concentration of organic additives, and electrolysis time and temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined and investigated the global market of natural gas including previous, current, and future prices and demand, and showed the effect of political and economic issues on natural gas prices during the period from 2014 to 2020.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compare hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicles economically and environmentally and show that the increase in these vehicles will cause a decrease in greenhouse gasses produced by transportation.

TL;DR: A general modelling framework dedicated to the short-term planning of energy systems, which supports the fast prototyping of optimization models, based on a generic Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation is presented.

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the fate and transport of contaminants of concern and increased long-term monitoring and data dissemination will help effectively manage water-quality risks associated with unconventional gas industry today and in the future.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a technical and economic feasibility analysis conducted for four hypothetical, centralized, large-scale hydrogen production plants based on this technology, including a single bed particle suspension system, a dual-bed particle suspension systems, a fixed panel array, and a tracking concentrator array.

TL;DR: The magnitude of this leakage was reassessed and it was found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate, likely because existing inventory methods miss emissions released during abnormal operating conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new core and outcrop data from 18 shale plays that reveal common types of shale fractures and their mineralization, orientation, and size patterns, and identify a need for further work in this field and on the role of natural fractures generally.
