On January 1, 2020, a new rule by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), known as “IMO 2020”, came into force and marked a significant milestone for the shipping industry. This rule limited the sulfur content in fuel oil used on board ships to 0.5% mass by mass, compared to the previous limit of 3.5%. Since […]
Carbon offsets: Salvation or a swindle?
After the Paris Agreement entered into force and became a legally binding international treaty on climate change in 2016, 193 signatories were tasked to develop an approach toward successfully reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Solutions exist today to reduce emissions rapidly while supporting economic growth and improving quality of life, but they are not yet […]
Addressing natural gas flaring: A step towards energy transition
Flaring possesses considerable challenges due to the recent growth in associated gas production primarily from oil-producing plays such as the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Bakken. Flaring can be a consequence of bottlenecks in midstream infrastructure, well development, or process upsets at the well site. As shown in Exhibit 1, key drivers for flaring include higher […]

2022 Energy Transition Outlook: Messiness as a Measure of Progress?
Energy transition advanced rapidly through the collective public consciousness in the past two years although starting this past summer, it has run into significant challenges. To a large extent though, both energy transition’s progress in 2020 and the challenges of 2021 were more conceptual than rooted in concrete form. Investor-led demand for a greater focus […]
2022 Hydrogen Outlook: Continued momentum towards a grand vision
Powered by rising support for decarbonization, hydrogen is being positioned as a key pillar to the energy transition. Through 2021, more than 200 hydrogen projects were announced, 30 countries had released their hydrogen roadmaps, and governments worldwide announced billions of dollars in capital spending towards hydrogen infrastructure. This momentum is expected to continue in 2022 […]
2022 Refining Outlook: Cautious optimism in the wake of a challenging transition
Looking back, 2021 was likely more frustrating for petroleum refiners globally than 2020. Refiners had reconciled to the black swan year of 2020 represented by the pandemic, the resulting lockdowns, and fuel demand destruction. However, 2021 was supposed to mark a return to normalcy, and, to a large extent, the world made a lot of […]

Ammonia’s growing role in the energy transition
Ammonia is a compound that is primarily used in fertilizers to increase crop yield and other agricultural purposes. In addition, it is also used in the chemical industries as a refrigerant and to manufacture synthetic fibers, resins, and other products. Because of its various applications, there is an existing commercial distribution network for ammonia globally […]
Will silver be driven by the energy transition, too?
Silver is known most for its use in lush jewelry and silverware. However, these applications account for less that 50% of its consumption. In fact, the estimated domestic uses for silver in 2020 were electrical and electronics (28%), jewelry and silverware (26%), coins and medals (19%), photography (3%), and other applications (24%). Other applications for […]
