Please see the abstract below – it shou ld be quite interesting! It is well aligned with the discussion we’ve b een having of cross-sector storage.\nAbstract\nStructuring a Zero Carbon E nergy System with Synthetic Fuels\nAlan Lamont\nIf we are to entirely deca rbonize the energy system\, we will need to produce carbon free electricit y and carbon free fuels. Some amount of fuel will be needed within the in dustrial and transportation sectors. Fuels can also provide energy storag e\, particularly long-term storage\, to take advantage of seasonal variati ons in energy and to back up the electric generation system. The fuels may include hydrogen\, ammonia\, methanol\, and other hydrocarbons. Fuels wi ll be produced from electrical energy and perhaps heat. To produce fuels electric generation above the direct electric load can be captured and use d for fuel production. This implies that the electricity system will be c onsiderably larger than today. In developing this system\, key design dec isions will include the mix of electric generating technologies\, the capa cities of generators\, and the capacity of the fuel production technology. Regardless of the electric generation technologies chosen\, the excess e nergy for fuel production will be quite variable. The total energy captur ed depends on the variability of the electric generation and the capacity that is installed to produce fuel. A large fuel production capacity can c apture the peaks in electricity production. However\, as fuel production capacity is increased\, the marginal energy captured declines\, so the ove rall capacity utilization of production capacity falls off\, increasing th e total system cost without providing much additional fuel.\nThis research explores the issues in designing an electric generation and fuel producti on system. It first develops an analytic framework to determine the energ y available for fuel production as a function of the electric generation m ix and the fuel production capacity. It then explores the cost tradeoff o f different system designs. The discussion identifies possible technologi es that might make the system more cost effective. Finally\, the study id entifies several questions that need additional study.\n\n\n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000CFADC600A893D701000000000000000 0100000003A90FDB18D74E347B66B8F31B2F22CFB RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=Pacific Standard Time:20210924T090000 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:Friday meeting for CEC project - Sept. 24 Speaker: A lan Lamont DTSTART;TZID=Pacific Standard Time:20210924T090000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific Standard Time:20210924T100000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20210914T030238Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:5 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-US:https://ucmerced.zoom.us/j/4364884550 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:5 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:2119731919 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:3 X-MICROSOFT-ONLINEMEETINGEXTERNALLINK: X-MICROSOFT-ONLINEMEETINGCONFLINK: X-MICROSOFT-DONOTFORWARDMEETING:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONDISPLAYNAME:https://ucmerced.zoom.us/j/4364884550 X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONSOURCE:LocationServices X-MICROSOFT-LATITUDE:0 X-MICROSOFT-LONGITUDE:0 X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONS:[{"DisplayName":"https://ucmerced.zoom.us/j/436488455 0"\,"LocationAnnotation":""\,"LocationSource":1\,"LocationUri":""\,"Latitu de":0.0\,"Longitude":0.0\,"LocationStreet":""\,"LocationCity":""\,"Locatio nState":""\,"LocationCountry":""\,"LocationPostalCode":""\,"LocationFullAd dress":""}] BEGIN:VALARM DESCRIPTION:REMINDER TRIGGER;RELATED=START:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
