The slow recovery after Hurricane Ida

10 September 2021

Hurricanes are a fact of life in the Gulf of Mexico, and the energy industry has many decades of experience in managing the risks. But Hurricane Ida has been one of the most disruptive in recent years, and about 1.5 million barrels per day of US oil production is still offline. Increased rainfall and potentially higher wind speeds in future could further complicate the challenge of resilience.

New dual-credit scheme can elevate Chinese electric vehicles industry

19 January 2018

Under heavy subsidies from the government, China's electric vehicles (EV) market has grown exponentially to overtake the United States as the world's largest EV market. However with subsidies fading out in two years' time, the Chinese government and EV manufacturers are pressed for time to sustain the growth momentum in EVs.
