It should be investigated as an indirect savings mechanism in future work, to reflect the potential of reduction in regulation costs. It is worth noting that only a very small amount of load (approximately 0.7%) would need to participate in providing all the regulation needed by the grid, as would similarly small amounts of energy from storage or batteries. We also estimate the potential indirect reductions from reinvesting the capital cost savings from avoiding the construction of extra generation capacity required for the total operating reserves (regulation, spinning, non-spinning, load following, and reserve margin) to support wind generation to meet. This has been estimated to increase from 5% of peak load capacity to 7% for an RPS of 25% (Smith et al. 2007). We use the 2% difference to estimate the reduced reserve capacity, with a range from 1% to 3%. We assume the resulting cost savings, from avoiding over 1000 gigawatts of power plant capacity at $1000/kW, are reinvested in additional cost-effective energy efficiency or renewable generation at a levelized cost of 8.8¢/kWh. This results in very substantial estimated reductions of 5% of U.S. electricity consumption and associated CO2 emissions, as shown in Table 3.12. Table 3.12.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
