Chapter 21 WHY N2N? AND WHY NOW? Adam Well

Reducing Carbon Emissions  Decarbonization- “Ongoing global trend toward consumption of fuels that contain less carbon”.  Reducing the Carbon to Hydrogen Ratio Chapter 21

Carbon to Hydrogen Ratio  C:H = Carbon-to-burnable Hydrogen  Wood 10:1  Coal 2:1  Oil 1:2  Natural gas (methane CH 4 ) 1:4  “Chemical formula (CH 4 ) suggests, has a ration of 1:4 or 1 Carbon atom for every 4 Hydrogen” Chapter 21

Reserves or Resources  Reserve-“only applies to in-the-ground hydrocarbons that have been surveyed by drilling and other agreed-upon techniques”.  Resources- “is something that’s probably out there”. Chapter 21

How Much Oil – How Much Natural Gas  At current rates of extraction its estimated that Oil will last another 42 years  At current rates of extraction its estimated that Natural Gas will last more than 60 years  This number will increase as more gas resources get moved to the reserves category Chapter 21

Peak Oil  Peak oil – peak world oil production  Reaching peak oil means “The price of oil will have to be whatever is required to cause total consumption to decline” Chapter 21

Summary “But N2N offers the most viable way to hedge our bets with regard to both peak oil and peak coal. To be sure, both oil and coal will continue to be key sources of primary energy throughout the world for the rest of the twenty-first century, but it is also apparent that the inevitable production plateaus of those fuels will force consumers to find alternatives. And natural gas and nuclear power are the only alternatives that can provide the scale of energy supplies needed to substitute for some of the expected declines in oil and coal production. In other words, natural gas and nuclear power can be used as a hedge against the looming “twin peaks””. Chapter 21
