Why upstream companies might break their capital discipline rules

• 13 February 2025

Stronger oil and gas demand could drive higher investment, rising prices, and more M&A in a slower energy transition.

No country for oil men (and women)

• 30 January 2025

UK and EU energy policies risk undermining energy security and economic growth by discouraging domestic oil and gas investment, increasing reliance on costly imports and jeopardising net zero goals.

Faced with high costs, midstream transportation challenges and the slow development of demand, the low-carbon hydrogen economy is facing lowered expectations around its growth in the near term. Gavin Thompson, Vice Chair, EMEA, spoke to Richard Hood and Kate Adie from our Subsurface research team, authors of our recent analysis of white hydrogen’s potential.

Is it time for a global climate bank?

• 18 July 2024

Financing any aspect of the energy transition is tough. Funding the developing world’s transition, a topic central to the first Global Energy Transition Congress in Milan two weeks ago, is one of the most complex challenges that must be overcome in tackling climate change.

What will define LNG’s three phases of market growth?

• 06 June 2024

Our recently released Global gas strategic planning outlook (SPO) identifies three distinct phases of LNG market growth through the coming decade. What are the drivers of each market cycle? How low will prices go? What are the risks to each phase of LNG market growth? The WoodMac team stress-tested our new outlook on the ground at this week’s Japan Energy Summit in Tokyo.

The coming low carbon energy system disruptors

• 30 May 2024

Momentum towards the 1.5˚C goal of the Paris Agreement may be faltering but while the pursuit of net zero is slowing, it won’t stop. Multiple low carbon technologies will be needed at scale to achieve a 2˚C or lower pathway to complement those such as renewables already on the front line of decarbonisation.

How and why big oil is strengthening its oil and gas exposure

Big oil is doubling down on oil and gas. Discover the reasons and implications in our latest Edge article.

Can emissions taxes decarbonise the LNG industry?

• 11 April 2024

The LNG industry is facing growing pressure to decarbonise. But this can't be achieved without major investment, pushing up the price of delivered LNG. Buyers have so far been reluctant to pay a premium for low-carbon volumes. Taxing LNG emissions could change this. Europe is leading the way, with the EU taxing the fuel emissions of LNG vessels from this year.  While an important first step, much more is required for the industry to decarbonise at scale.
