A five-year delay to the energy transition could see the global average temperature rise to 3-degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
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.
If high interest rates persist, transitioning to a net zero global economy will be even harder and more costly. The higher cost of borrowing negatively affects renewables and nascent technologies, compared to more established oil and gas, and metals and mining sectors, which remain somewhat insulated.
Decarbonisation efforts in the steel industry could hinder circularity of Zinc, warns new study
Global wind turbine order intake hit new highs in 2023 with 155 gigawatts (GW) procured for the year, an increase of 16 GW from 2022.
Up to 30 upstream projects larger than 50 million of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) could reach FID in 2024, an increase from 22 in 2023, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
On International Women’s Day, Wood Mackenzie, in partnership Let’s Share the Sun and other third parties, dedicated 51 solar panels and battery storage to a shelter for victims of domestic violence in Puerto Rico. The fully installed 25 kW-DC system will provide a significant portion of the shelter’s power needs.
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.
More than 100 gigawatts (GW) of global renewable energy capacity is expected to be tendered in 2024. With more than 60 GW to be offshore wind, the overall volume is set to grow as the year progresses and will match 2023 levels.
Scope 1 and 2 upstream emissions intensity has declined 12% since 2017, however, absolute emissions could plateau due to production growth, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
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.
As the $12 billion phase one of Canada’s Pathways Alliance nears FID, the world’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCUS) proposal faces uncertainty surrounding the long-term availability of economic incentives, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
Addressing the Saudi Ministry of Energy’s instructions to Saudi Aramco to abandon its 13 million barrels per day (b/d) target and maintain 12 million b/d, Ann Louise Hittle, vice president of Oil Markets for Wood Mackenzie, said “Based on our forecast for oil demand to peak in 2030, the shift to a 12 million b/d target from 13 million b/d should be absorbed in the market and not cause a tightening in the supply and demand balance this decade.”
Addressing President Joe Biden’s Executive Order to temporarily pause the approval of new US LNG export projects right to export to countries that the US does not have a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with (non-FTA), Giles Farrer, head of gas and LNG asset research at Wood Mackenzie said, “the decision will not affect our forecast for US LNG exports out to 2028, but after that it could affect the trajectory and pace of the sector’s growth and have potential to tighten the market in the long run.”
Despite supply chain headwinds and price pressures, the global offshore wind sector saw significant growth in its mature pipeline, as late-stage pipeline mergers & acquisitions, turbine orders, and project financial investment decisions (FIDs) saw record activity in 2023. This has boosted the sector’s momentum into 2024.
Geopolitical tensions, a record year for elections and economic uncertainty will define the backdrop to the upstream industry in 2024. Wood Mackenzie recently released its What to Look for in 2024 upstream series. Key themes to watch in global and corporate upstream include continued consolidation, increased activity from NOCs, reversing decarbonisation gains, shifts in strategic playbooks and an upstream investment plateau.
Oil and gas Majors have just an 8% market share of announced global net low-carbon hydrogen production capacity, which equates to 102.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), according to latest analysis from Wood Mackenzie. The Majors are focused on getting small-scale projects operational before 2030 to pave the way for industrial scale-up next decade.
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.
Large oil and gas reserves in the Middle East have resulted in especially low domestic energy prices and provide little incentive to transition to low carbon alternatives, according to Wood Mackenzie’s Middle East Energy Transition Outlook report.
After investing over US$130 billion into the solar industry in 2023, China will hold more than 80% of the world’s polysilicon, wafer, cell, and module manufacturing capacity from 2023 to 2026.
The global Battery Energy Storage Systems integrator market has grown increasingly competitive in 2022, with the top five global system integrators accounting for 62% of overall BESS shipments.
The rise of electric-arc furnace technology, increased use of green feedstock and evolving carbon policies will reshape steel production and global trade patterns.
Speaking at Wood Mackenzie’s Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Conference in Houston, Mhairidh Evans, head of CCUS research for Wood Mackenzie, said that urgency is needed to meet the seven billion tonnes carbon capture (Btpa) required to meet net zero goals in 2050.
Wood Mackenzie, the global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources, has launched Lens Carbon, a unique end-to-end solution that enables users to screen, analyse and value carbon management projects on a global scale.
The top 15 global PV O&M providers expanded their overall portfolio for a total volume of 115 gigawatts direct current (GWdc) in 2022, an annualized growth of 13%, according to Wood Mackenzie.
Increased activity in Western markets and Africa will drive a ten-year compound annual growth rate of 10.1% for grid-connected wind power, leading to 2.38 terawatts (TW) of cumulative installed capacity at the end of 2032, according to Wood Mackenzie.
Global wind turbine order intake reached new highs in H1, with 69.5 gigawatts (GW) of activity, a 12 percent increase year-over-year, according to a new analysis from Wood Mackenzie.
The right economic and geo-political conditions mean that the outlook for the global floating liquified natural gas (FLNG) project sector is bullish according to a new report by Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources.
The global offshore wind supply chain will require US$ 27 billion of secured investment by 2026 if it is to meet a fivefold growth in annual installations (excluding China) by 2030, according to latest Horizons report by Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources.
Exploration spend (excluding appraisal) will recover from historic lows to average US$22 billion per annum in real terms over the next five years, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
