Renewables and nascent low-carbon technologies most exposed to high interest rates
- 18 四月 2024
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.

European gas storage plans for 2023 still stand despite cold snap
- 14 十二月 2022
Colder temperatures across Europe have increased month-on-month heating demand by 20% in December, but behavioural change in households and services means the amount of gas used in these sectors is 16% lower than previous average consumption patterns for similar temperatures says Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK).

Tapping working gas volume could cushion blow of Europe’s energy crunch
- 04 十一月 2021
European gas storage has been struggling to fill this summer. Storage at the beginning of November will be about 75% full, at 83 billion cubic metres (bcm), 14 bcm below the five-year average, rattling the market. A cold European winter could result in storage levels falling to zero by the end of March 2022, unless more Russian gas supply is available versus current export levels. But there could be an alternative available to the market should this come to pass – tapping the substantial amount of cushion gas available in Europe’s storage facilities. Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), said using cushion gas could allow an extra 15 bcm enter the market, easing the supply crunch.

EU’s ‘Fit for 55’ lays out bloc’s green blueprint
- 14 七月 2021
Europe is at the forefront of the shift to net zero, both in ambition, but also in terms of how to make rapid and deep decarbonisation a reality. The world needs to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as quickly as possible. Not doing so means we will need to turn to expensive and unproven technologies to withdraw CO2 from the atmosphere later this century.

What would an EU carbon border adjustment mechanism mean?
- 14 七月 2021
The EU Commission proposed a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) as part of today’s “Fit for 55” package. James Whiteside, global head of multi-commodity research at Wood Mackenzie, said: “As the first mechanism of its kind, the CBAM is being designed in consultation with industry to avoid unintended consequences. “A CBAM that does not cover a substantial portion of the production chain will encourage carbon leakage - pushing emissions beyond the borders of the EU or shifting competition between EU and non-EU producers to the next stage of the value chain.”

Europe emerges as global LNG price-setter
- 27 五月 2021
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets were set to tighten over the next five years, driven by a slowdown in global LNG supply growth. But Europe’s market dynamics are turbo-charging the price recovery, with TTF currently trading close to US$9 per million British thermal units (/mmbtu), a level not seen since mid-2018. Following the recent winter spot price spike in Asia, the European market has been sustaining global LNG prices, making the region a battleground for global LNG price formation, new research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie found.
