Identifying and evaluating new initiatives for energy transition is challenging, and an idea of “green premiums” can help better understand the costs associated with moving towards zero-carbon technologies.

How are refiners addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) pressures from investors and stakeholders?

Decarbonizing the steel industry is challenging but hydrogen can help.

In 2020, the energy transition thrived amid a difficult energy landscape due to heightened demand, policy support, technological progress, and diversification by incumbents.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 forced the oil and gas upstream sector into a survival mode characterized by drastic CAPEX reductions, postponed deals, and widespread renegotiations due to plummeting crude oil prices and demand.

Competitive renewable power can drive power-to-gas in some regions.

Operators’ pursuit of better ESG outcomes provides a great opportunity for industrials.

Where is digital in the oil & gas industry today? How has it benefited from COVID-19?

What are challenges facing energy transition and how is innovation addressing them?
