Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will form a key plank in INPEX’s (TYO:1605) efforts to progressively decarbonise its Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations in Australia’s Northern Territory. It will also help Japan’s biggest energy company establish the foundations for the next generation of clean fuels.
Meanwhile the UK Government has pledged an update on Track 2 - part of its £1bn carbon capture fund - in spring.
Shares in London-listed ITM Power (LON: ITM) fell on Monday after the green hydrogen firm issued its third profit warning in eight months.
Spending on low-carbon projects will increase by $60 billion this year, 10% higher than 2022, led by wind developments, but helped by a significant rise in funding for hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) infrastructure, Rystad Energy research shows.
Scottish ministers are considering whether to increase the country’s current offshore wind rollout targets.
We do some detecting of our own...
We are heading into another challenging 12 months for the energy sector. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic, shrinking economies, severe weather events and geopolitical shocks, namely Russian’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine, are being felt keenly.
Woodside Energy has awarded a major contract to Air Liquide Engineering and Construction (Air Liquide) for the liquefaction equipment at its proposed H2OK hydrogen project in Ardmore, Oklahoma, US.
Hydrogen is not the "panacea" for reaching net zero emissions by 2050, MPs have said.
Australia has only one committed hydrogen project out of a vast pipeline of proposals worth A$266 billion ($178 billion), showing the challenge in becoming a major exporter of the zero-carbon but still unproven fuel.
Unlike hydrocarbons, which produce carbon dioxide, heat and water when combusted in the presence of oxygen, hydrogen produces only heat and water. As we seek to decarbonise the UK’s energy sector one of the paths that is being explored is the use of hydrogen within a grid connected gas fired power plant in the UK.
Thailand’s state-backed upstream company PTT Exploration Production (PTTEP) announced it will spend $29 billion between 2023 and 2027 as it aims to boost oil and gas production, as well as diversify into new businesses to cut emissions.
Indonesia, home to the world’s largest geothermal energy potential, is opening tenders seeking investors to develop this giant resource, as it aims to expand the use of renewable energy to meet its net zero goals.
China and Saudi Arabia signed a number of agreements, including on energy and investments, after their leaders met in Riyadh on Thursday at a summit that showcased deep and growing ties beyond oil.
An Energy Industries Council (EIC) report has found that the global demand for hydrogen is expected to fall behind production levels by the end of the decade.
In the search for net zero, decarbonisation of the gas network will play a central role.
A new pact on hydrogen between Scotland and Germany has been branded “extremely bad news” for the domestic supply chain.
Energy research and consultancy firm Westwood Global Energy Group has appointed a new director of hydrogen.
New Zealand’s renewable energy company Meridian has selected Australia’s Woodside Energy (ASX:WDS) as its partner to develop a large-scale hydrogen and ammonia facility at Southland in New Zealand.
Aberdeen-based, Apollo, has been awarded a contract to provide feasibility engineering to a proposed hydrogen pipeline from Pembroke to the Swansea Bay area.
An overwhelming majority of energy firms in Scotland are now involved in low carbon and renewables, according to a new survey.
Inpex has taken a final investment decision for Japan’s first demonstration project that will produce clean hydrogen and ammonia in association with carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS).
Lolita Jackson, a 9/11 survivor and sustainability investor, has told an energy event in Aberdeen about her career journey into green energy in the wake of the tragedy.
Aramco and Indonesia’s Pertamina have announced they are exploring collaboration across the hydrogen and ammonia value chain in Southeast Asia's largest economy.
What brought that on? My anger with one of the latest “Scotland is now” claims. Issued by Scottish Development International as a Tweet it claims, and I quote: “From wind to wave and hydrogen to solar, Scotland is a global leader in renewable energy”. The associated video itself then goes on to claim that “Scotland’s a leader in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies”.
