  CO2 utilisation potential as key global decarbonization tool limited by current economics

  Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is a crucial element in global decarbonisation, but current economics limit CO2 utilisation deployment as high costs and insufficient subsidies hinder the market, according to a recent report from Wood Mackenzie.

  Increasing subsidies for anthropogenic carbon capture destined for CCS-EOR to levels for CCS-Storage would lower global emissions

  • 26 七月 2024

  Captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (CCS-EOR) has fallen out of favor in recent years and been supplanted by captured CO2 to dedicated sequestration (CCS-Storage), however, a new analysis shows that CCS-EOR will often deliver lower emissions and better support the energy transition, according to a series of reports from Wood Mackenzie.

  Are voters turning their backs on the EU’s 2030 climate objectives?

  • 10 七月 2024

  European voters just threw a spanner in the works of the EU’s 2030 decarbonisation targets. Last month’s European parliamentary elections saw a dramatic shift in power to nationalist and populist parties, which tapped into, among other issues, voter scepticism over the pace and sheer cost of the energy transition. We look at the impact of the elections on tackling climate change.

  Getting serious about tackling global warming

  • 09 四月 2021

  How carbon pricing could reshape upstream oil and gas economics

  Alerts send warnings about the future of power

  • 18 六月 2021

  As a heatwave hit the southwest US this week, electricity demand surged, putting strain on the grids in Texas and California. Grid operators issued alerts urging customers to conserve electricity where possible by turning up thermostats and not running appliances in the late afternoon and evening. The measures worked: blackouts were avoided in both states. But the alerts were a reminder of the pressures facing grids in extreme weather conditions, which will increase as their reliance on wind and solar power grows. Demand response programmes and other measures to improve the flexibility of the grid are becoming increasingly important.

  Oil and gas companies have been coming under mounting pressure from large shareholders to address climate risks, and that pressure has stepped up sharply this year. The world’s six largest investors by assets under management have signed up to the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, committing them to supporting the goal of global net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner. In total the signatories to the initiative have $37 trillion under management.
