Hydraulic Fracture (Shale Gas Fracking)
Complimentary Expertise - as Adjunct to TRU Group Gas & Gas Industry Work
Fracking has been a determinant in the USA of the reduction in natural gas prices: a factor which could be a game-changer for other industries TRU Group is active in. TRU Group experts have long experience in reservoir engineering and reservoir development projects. The TRU Group Lithium & Brine Team has worked globally for the largest energy companies in the US and globally on the extraction of valuable chemicals from oil and gas operations produced-water. TRU Group is early 2021 is on an assignment integrating small-scale methanol production with s Chlor Alkali Facility for one of America's largest oil & gas producer. The feed is for the methanol plant is hydrogen gas but carbon dioxide is required in the process, thus providing a carbon capture component. TRU Group has assignment completed in oil & gas field equipment investment, methods and product/markets. We are experienced in organoclay and ceramic proppants for oil & gas drilling and in (coal) gas-based urea fertilizer plant.
Technology Forecasting & Econometric Modeling
MITRE Corporation Green versus Conventional Energy Technology-Foresight Model Evaluation
TRU Group evaluated the integrity and usefulness of the comprehensive US MITRE Corporation energy technology foresight model. The model is multivariate containing technology, manufacturing, and use factors for both conventional and renewable energy. Other econometric models and simulation techniques used in analyzing aspects of renewable energy production and use were compared.
Electric Vehicles & EV Batteries 2020 for Mitsubishi Corporation
Technology Forecasting - Market Outlook Assessment
TRU Group Inc examined issues at play in the development of the electric vehicle EV PEV HEV EV including its segments hybrid HEV, plug-in PHEV and full electric vehicles PEV. Forecast global EV demand through 2020. Much of the evaluation concerned the readiness of battery technology especially lithium li-ion and disruptive cell technology, to meet the special performance demands for the electric vehicle. Battery innovation was a driving determinant of EV market potential. Also view TRU Group Inc summary-
Product Substitution & Demand Estimation
Renewable Energy for Remote Locations & Communities
TRU Group Inc conducted an in depth assessment of energy demand use in remote villages/ camps and other non-grid-connected location. These remote villages are dependent on diesel generated power. Estimated energy consumption by end use and type. Also investigated availability of renewable energy in these locations and assessed the technology for displacement by renewable energy such as small-scale hydropower, photovoltaic solar cell electric energy & solar panel thermal solar, wind power, tidal power, power storage, geothermal, peat gasification and conservation of energy by better insulation . This study covered all Canadian remote communities and was published by Energy, Mines and Resources Dept of the Canadian Government under TRU Techno-economic Research Unit.. Many of TRU Group's recommendations were implemented and can be seen in many remote areas in north america.
Technical Analysis, Market and Competitiveness
Thermal Solar Panel Market
TRU Group undertook an in-depth assessment of thermal solar energy including compiling a comprehensive inventory of installations. Examined the techno-economics of thermal solar for various applications, including commercial buildings, homes, process water heating, and pools. Prepared historical segmented data on usage and forecast of demand. Published under TRU Techno-economic Research Unit.
Rare Earth Element Elements - Electic Motor & EV use of Dysprosium Dy
Rare Earth Elements Competitiveness West Vs China
TRU Group rare earth metals consultants identified and assessed promising heavy rare earth metals development projects under development in the west and ranked them according to clients technical criteria. In particular TRU assessed the west's capability to supply REE needed for electric vehicles and batteries. Evaluated processing amenability and compared costs of various producers compared to China. Modeled processes and costs of production. Determined competitiveness with REE producers in China and the outlook for western verses Chinese market. Focused on heavy HREE (examples, dysprosium Dy, Europium Eu, Terbium Tb, Yttrium, Y) used in permanent magnets for electric motors. TRU Group has a full capability in rare earth process engineering and REO plant design: For details view
