As the world moves to a more sustainable future and is advancing ways to reduce greenhouse gases and limit the effects of climate change, direct air capture (DAC) is one process being developed and deployed to remove CO2 from the atmosphere along with other efforts to reduce emissions. This industry is still in its infancy […]
The forgotten renewable: A review of geothermal energy
In the discussions of renewable energy, much of the conversation usually revolves around wind and solar. Often overlooked is the energy beneath our feet, geothermal, so much so that it is sometimes called the “forgotten renewable”. Geothermal, however, is a vast, largely untapped resource capable of supplying our power needs; in fact, it is estimated […]
Mother nature will provide: Natural climate solutions for energy markets
Numerous companies are making net-zero pledges, with over 30% of the world’s largest companies committing to become net-zero in the coming decades. Some commitments are more ambitious than net-zero, such as Microsoft’s pledge to offset all their carbon emissions since its inception. One of the most affordable and easily accessible ways to achieve these promises […]
Modeling oil & gas, chemical, and petrochemical industry greenhouse gas emissions
Oil and gas companies are making decarbonization commitments that include mainly cutting Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions although they are under growing pressure to also cut Scope 3 emissions. To this end, there is growing interest in understanding and benchmarking GHG emissions across the value chain from exploration and production through […]
Greener skies: Part II: A jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel market outlook
We discussed the COVID-impact on aviation, regulatory drivers of decarbonization in aviation, and several commitments and investments made by airlines globally in the previous blog. In this blog, we will discuss how growing supply, techno-economic advancements, and feedstock supply will drive global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) demand growth. There are several ways to manufacture SAF […]
German energy markets: Between a rock and a hard place
Energy prices have soared throughout Europe since the beginning of the year. The crisis is particularly acute in the EU’s largest economy, Germany, which relies heavily on Russian gas for its economy. Recent events have exacerbated the problem and the German government is taking actions to combat the effects of the crisis on its people […]
Going Blue: Growing progress across the CCUS value chain
Carbon, capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a complex value chain that requires progress in each segment to enable a global energy transition successfully. The four segments of the CCUS value chain, capture, transportation, storage, and use- are seeing varying level of progress. Capture should work more efficiently with power plants, and their CO-concentrated streams […]
Going Blue: No amines? Consider these alternative CCS technologies
Post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion are the three main methods of capturing CO2 from large-scale industrial facilities. Most of the CO2-capture technologies today are amine-based solvents for wet absorption. Fluor Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Aker Solution, and BASF are some prominent amine-based solvent vendors. Various commercial plants use their technologies, but what alternatives exist to […]
Greener skies: Part I: A jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel market outlook
Aviation is one of the hard-to-abate industries when it comes to decarbonization. COVID-induced lockdowns and the recession that closely followed slashed global aviation demand by 42% in 2020 compared to 2019. This also resulted in the lowest CO2 emissions from the aviation industry in over two decades dropping from about a billion tons of CO2 […]
Floating light: The potential of hydrogen as a marine fuel
The global shipping industry is one of the hard-to-abate industries when it comes to decarbonization. While it constitutes a small share of global CO2 emissions today, it may see astronomical amount of growth if left unchecked. Global shipping industry demand is expected to see a 275% increase by 2050 compared to 2020 levels. To address […]
