Refineries are responsible for the production of transportation fuels and other products, such as petrochemicals and lubricants, but they also contribute significantly to global GHG emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), refinery GHG emissions in 2023 amounted to 160 million metric tons CO2 equivalent (MMT CO2e), with over 70% resulting from fuel […]
2024 Energy Transition and Climate Tech Outlook: Measured, Steady Growth
While the broader sentiment around energy transition turned more pessimistic in 2023, investments in clean energy and related technologies still increased by more than 20%. This included renewables, biofuels, and a wide range of low-carbon solutions. Despite this growth, we anticipate a more measured pace of progress in 2024, as reflected in the following themes: Publicly Traded Cleantech Companies: Public cleantech companies took […]

2023 Energy Transition Outlook: A transformative year
The energy transition continued to move full steam ahead in 2022 with passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022 kicking it into full gear. This monumental legislation supplemented the previous Infrastructure, Investments and Jobs Act (IIJA), passed in 2021 and provided unprecedented funding to clean energy and climate initiatives. These incentives include […]
Going Blue: Advancing direct air capture
One of the biggest challenges to direct air capture (DAC) has been the costs, as discussed in our previous blog that can be found here. Notable interest in carbon capture and DAC from both the public and private sector are providing new funding and incentives to promote the advancement of these technologies. Numerous projects are […]
Going Blue: A review of direct air capture
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 […]
Coal, carbon capture, and EOR: A triple crown of synergies
NRG has recently started a demonstration plant for carbon capture and storage at its coal-fired power plant southwest of Houston, Texas. The project is a 50/50 joint venture between JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration and NRG and aims to capture all CO2 emissions from the 240 MW plant and use it in a nearby […]
