You don’t need to work in the energy sector to understand the scale of the climate change challenge and therefore the enormity of what it will take to address it.
Artificial intelligence (AI) experts say the emerging technology will play a "crucial role" in future energy systems, emerging as a new frontier in the energy transition.
Experts say the nascent carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) sector, hoped to be one of the UK’s next big industrial powerhouses, needs to become more transparent on its emissions profile.
A groundbreaking project combining wave power and subsea energy storage has completed its year-long trial off Orkney, and will return to base later this spring.
The concept of harvesting solar energy via orbiting power stations and beaming it back to Earth is attracting attention, but the challenges are astronomical.
A few weeks ago, Holyrood Sources – a podcast producer – held a live meeting in Aberdeen with three politicians and some 300 people from the energy sector.
The team behind the Salamander floating offshore wind project will partner with two Scottish universities to study the impact of floating windfarms on marine ecosystems.
Masdar has a target of reaching 100 GW of power by 2030. To achieve that, the company is seeking a range of opportunities, with the UK hitting the right mix.
Drax is to explore a tie-up with the developers of the Viking carbon capture and storage (CCS) project which could see an additional route for sequestering biomass emissions.
UK electricity generator Drax Group rose sharply after earnings beat analyst expectations, although questions remain around the outcome of a government consultation on continued biomass subsidies.
Energean has begun producing gas at Karish North, the company said, while also celebrating the signing of an additional gas sale and purchase agreement.
China burned record amounts of coal, oil and natural gas last year after ending Covid-era restrictions, even as the country accelerated its energy transition push.
