Potential low-carbon (green or blue) hydrogen demand from the global refining sector could reach 50 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) by 2050, says Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie Asia Pacific Head of Markets and Transitions Prakash Sharma responds to the recently released IPCC report.
South Korea becomes the latest Asian economy to announce its net-zero carbon emissions pledge.
The global solar industry has experienced tremendous growth in the past decade as the annual demand for solar rose year after year while the cost of solar declined significantly. In the 2020s, solar module costs will continue to fall, albeit at a much slower rate. Instead, improvement in module efficiency and power class will propel the declining capex trend forward and ultimately lower the solar levelised cost of energy (LCOE), new research from Wood Mackenzie found.
The coronavirus pandemic will have a significant impact on the global solar PV market. Construction and development is slowing as countries around the world enforce unprecedented lockdowns. As the world economy faces severe economic disruption, Wood Mackenzie has downgraded its forecast for 2020 installations from 129.5 gigawatts (GW) to 106.4 GW, a reduction of 18%.
In Q3 2019, Tesla announced its plans to capture 1% of all car sales globally. With its current portfolio of luxury cars, the company is unlikely to meet that target by the end of the decade. However, if it launches an entry-level car priced at $25,000, Wood Mackenzie projects that Tesla will meet the 1% target as early as 2024.
Is the Global Energy Transition on track? A new report by Wood Mackenzie, Thinking global energy transitions: the what, if, how and when, explores the forces shaping the energy transition, and pinpoints the sustainability tipping point – when the world shifts from the age of oil and gas to the age of power and renewables – will arrive by 2035.
Global wind power is expected to see an 1.9% increase of installed capacity Quarter on Quarter (QoQ), an equivalent of 25.6 gigawatts (GW), between 2022 and 2031 according to Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK).
Veritas Capital (“Veritas”), a leading investor at the intersection of technology and government, today announced that an affiliate of Veritas has completed the purchase of Wood Mackenzie from Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK).
Increased activity in Western markets and Africa will drive a ten-year compound annual growth rate of 10.1% for grid-connected wind power, leading to 2.38 terawatts (TW) of cumulative installed capacity at the end of 2032, according to Wood Mackenzie.
China accounted for 65% of global wind capacity in 2023, which pushed four Chinese wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEM) into the top five global rankings, a first for the sector. With a record of 16.3 gigawatts (GW) capacity installed, Goldwind maintained the leading position for the second consecutive year.
The small nuclear reactor (SMR) project pipeline reached 22 GW in the first quarter of 2024, an expansion of 65% since 2021, according to a recent report by Wood Mackenzie. The current total project pipeline would require an investment of close to US$176 billion.
The future of low-carbon hydrogen hinges on global policymakers introducing regulations and subsidies that focus on the carbon intensity of the hydrogen produced rather than its colour.
Cumulative global capex spend in the offshore wind sector is expected to hit US$1 trillion by 2031, according to a new report by Wood Mackenzie. However, investors will no longer only be competing on price alone.
Five key lessons from today's energy crisis on how to manage the shift to lower-carbon sources while strengthening energy security
Global cumulative lithium-ion battery capacity could rise over five-fold to 5,500 gigawatt-hour (GWh) between 2021 and 2030, says Wood Mackenzie.
Global wind power capacity is expected to grow at a cumulative annualised growth rate (CAGR) of 9% between 2021 and 2030, according to a new report by Wood Mackenzie.
Sales of China’s new energy vehicles (NEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) combined are expected to rise 15-fold or more by 2035 with their share in total new car sales exceeding 80%, says Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie today delivered a comprehensive roadmap for the North Sea’s future to the OGTC, setting out the critical technologies needed to deliver an integrated net zero energy system on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), positioning the UK as a world-leader in the move to a low carbon world.
Wood Mackenzie analysts delved deeper into implications of Woodside's announced US$80 carbon price.
Total announced today its partnership with Adani Group which includes two LNG terminals, Dhamra in East India and potentially Mundra in the West, as well as Adani Gas Limited, one of the 4 main distributors of city gas in India of which Adani holds 74.8% and of which Total will acquire 37.4%.
After a decade of fragmentation, the top 5 turbine OEMs have reached industry consolidation. Key global players are expected to surpass a combined market share of 68% by 2020, up from 47% 5 years ago, according to recent research from Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables.
Following PM Scott Morrison's win in the recent 2019 Australia election, Wood Mackenzie and Verisk Maplecroft analysts share their thoughts.
As one of the most-used petrochemicals in the world, ammonia offers a bevy of decarbonization and energy market opportunities, including the potential to provide 100 million tonnes (Mt) into the power sector by 2050 in a high-case scenario. However, without strong policy support, low-carbon ammonia may remain an untapped market, according to “Avoiding Pand-Ammonia” a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
The global floating solar market is expected to pass the six-gigawatt (GW) threshold by 2031, as PV developers struggle to meet growing solar demand and look to alternate development technologies.
Currently on target to reach a record-breaking 230 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar installations this year, China leads the global renewables market. This is more than double the number of US and Europe installations combined.
While hydrogen can be used in many sectors, its derivative, ammonia, has emerged as a key tool to provide flexible power generation and integrate variable renewables. Analysis by Wood Mackenzie shows that a 10% ammonia co-firing in global coal plants would translate to 200 million tonnes (Mt) of ammonia demand, a potential market of US$100 billion by 2050.
China’s renewables manufacturing has emerged from 2021 bigger and more competitive than ever before. Western markets are benefitting from trading with the IKEA of the energy transition, but balancing reliance on China’s technology providers with local interests is now a key political as well as environmental challenge, says Wood Mackenzie.
Following the military coup in Myanmar on Monday, February 1st, Wood Mackenzie and Verisk Maplecroft experts weigh in on what this means for the oil and gas industry.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis shows over US$5 trillion of investments would be needed for China to reach its pathway for carbon-neutrality by 2060.
