Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are using membrane distillation technology to enable drillers to filter and reuse the produced water in the oil and gas industry, in agriculture, and other beneficial uses. The method is already being tested in Texas, North Dakota, and most recently in New Stanton, Pa.

Asphalt binder, the sticky “glue” that holds crushed stone and sand together to form pavement, only accounts for about 5% percent of the final hot mix asphalt (HMA) that is steamrolled into glossy new lanes and boulevards. In general, a one-mile road in a rural area costs at least a million dollars to build. —Haifang Wen.

Only if all these factors are taken into account is the cost of heat and electricity reduced and GHG emissions fully mitigated, they suggested. They estimated a yield of 851 GJ/ha/year biodiesel and coproducts in the form of oilcake (689 GJ/ha/year) and glycerol (89 GJ/ha/year), based on the assumption of an initial 30% oil content (22.5

The Coskata process can produce more than 100 gallons of ethanol per ton of dry, ash-free biomass material at a cost competitive with expected gasoline prices—around $1.00 Actual production cost will vary, either below or above $1.00 per gallon, based on the cost of feedstock and the cost of power for the specific plant, he noted.

The committee also separately derived a range of values for damages from climate change; the wide range of possibilities for these damages made it impossible to develop precise estimates of cost. Damages are expressed in cents per VMT (2007 USD).

V2G helps solve the major problem that demand for electricity is high during the day when everything from industrial plants to air conditioning is running full blast and then excess electricity is wasted at night. Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil. Then we are done! Email Neal.
