RE:RE:RE:Innovating in a silo

I'm interested in anyone's thoughts on this too. Also, did Novak drop out of Xprize? Weird... and yet he's still getting press coverage? The Xprize site still lists Innovator Energy (last I checked, anyway). It will be a long wait until 2018 (2x scale up of Parahem) and 2019 (Serres Toundra comes online) but when the data starts to come in, but I imagine it will prove out everything that CST has shared so far about the cost effectiveness of their technology relative to other options out there.

In 2015 CST claimed the best case for amines was 2.2 Gj/tonne but there was a study out then claiming 1.67 was possible, about 9:1 compared to CSTs parasitic load value.

While Novak is comparing reboiler energy at 1.39 to an MEA value around 13, again a ratio around about 9:1

But CST´s data is bench scale tested from EERC where Novak´s is largely theoretical.
And then there´s the unexplained dropping out of the X-prize hunt, objectively a clear win for CST.
And then there´s the RPB factor, Novak´s slow reaction doesn´t sound like it would scale up well.
Hope someone has thoughts on this.
