China’s focus on self-sufficiency will not hold back LNG demand [Gas in Transition]
May 4, 2021 5:15:am
Summary The focus of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan is self sufficiency with an implied short-term increase in coal use and a major effort to boost domestic gas production, alongside rapidly expanding renewables and nuclear capacity in electricity generation. Yet even as gas imports along the new Power of Siberia ramp up, China’s demand for LNG is expected to grow fast. Projections of 80-110bn m3/year by 2025 could well prove low, given LNG’s flexibility in meeting demand variations, possible shortfalls in targeted domestic gas output and gradual liberalisation of the gas market.

Easy And Economic Solutions To Mitigating Methane Emissions
May 3, 2021 10:45:am
Summary Energy transition is a fact of life. How we manage it – through technologies, strategies, and policy – is our choice. In fact, it is not just a choice, it is a well-thought-out decision followed by deliberate actions.

Easy And Economic Solutions To Mitigating Methane Emissions
The good news is that, on the practical front, many solutions to the energy transition are also good business. One of the key actions we can take, right now, is to reduce fugitive emissions such as methane. For producers, on the business side, keeping methane in the system and monetizing it at the sales meter also make economic sense.
CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery For Decarbonization
May 3, 2021 6:30:pm
Summary In a future in which the energy system faces dual challenges – addressing carbon concerns and transitioning away from hydrocarbons altogether – reducing the carbon impact of fuels will become a key tool in meeting climate and energy goals.

CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery For Decarbonization
As an example, jet fuel is very difficult to substitute due to the low energy density of batteries and the high cost of alternatives like hydrogen, making an upstream solution the only option until technology and costs evolve. Thus, making the best of the existing energy supply chain through decarbonization is a realistic and cost-effective option for the mid-term and warrants investigation.
Contrasting European hydrogen pathways: An analysis of differing approaches in key markets

Summary European countries approach the market ramp-up of hydrogen very differently. In some cases, the economic and political starting points differ significantly.

Contrasting European hydrogen pathways: An analysis of differing approaches in key markets
While the probability is high that some countries, such as Germany or Italy, will import hydrogen in the long term, other countries, such as United Kingdom, France or Spain, could become hydrogen exporters. The reasons for this are the higher potential for renewable energies but also a technology-neutral approach on the supply side.
