Can Direct Air Capture Create “Green” Oil?

We are approaching a point where simply cutting CO₂ emissions will not suffice to meet climate targets. To reach net-zero, removing CO₂ from the atmosphere is the next challenge, taking out more emissions than we generate. Technologies like Direct Air Capture could slow the wave of CO₂, while feeding a growing market for captured carbon.

The Vital Role of Synthetic Fuels in CO₂ Recycling

Synthetic fuels can be produced using carbon captured from industrial processes using CCUS technology, which could help decarbonize hard-to-electrify transport sectors like aviation, haulage and shipping. Closing the carbon loop is a vital part of achieving net-zero emissions.

Interview: Why Oil and Gas Should Seize Its Hydrogen Opportunity

As global economies seek to decarbonize, the energy industry will need to embrace change. In this interview, Professor Emmanouil Kakaras of MHPS Europe, explores how hydrogen could provide a unique opportunity for oil and gas companies to expand their business.

How the U.S. Second Wave of LNG Is Changing the Industry

The U.S. is entering a “second wave” of new LNG plants, driven by surging global demand, and its impact is being felt within the oil & gas industry throughout the world. Developing these new LNG plants will be very different from the first wave of construction, as players compete for access to the growing global export market.

Why Global LNG Growth Needs Both Floating Liquefaction and Regas Platforms

LNG production and regasification is moving offshore. In a booming market, the appearance of floating gas plants is transforming the supply of, and demand for, natural gas.

Why Combining Gas and Renewables Is the Fastest Route to Decarbonization

Much of the discussion at Gastech 2019 centered on the pivotal role natural gas will play in the energy transition. It can help rapidly cut carbon emissions by replacing fuels like coal in baseload power generation, while supporting the greater rollout of renewables by providing backup capacity to overcome intermittency challenges.

Why Small-Scale LNG Producers Are Embracing Innovation

Small and mid-scale LNG operators are innovating to meet the needs of customers who want to buy their LNG on a flexible basis, rather than through long-term contracts. New business models are changing how projects are financed and built.

How Hydrogen Can Solve These 3 Energy Challenges

Hydrogen could help decarbonize hard-to-green sectors, while offering a storage solution for excess energy generated by renewables. Here are some ways it can help energy move to a low-carbon future.

Video Interview: Why LNG Producers Need to Be Agile

There is a spike in LNG demand as countries pursue cleaner energy sources. And the market is increasingly characterized by shorter-term contracts. In this video, MHI America Senior Vice President Mike Sicker discusses the issues raised at Gastech 2019.

4 Ways the Oil and Gas Industry Is Working to Boost Sustainability

The oil & gas industry is facing both economic and environmental challenges. Here are four key ways to boost sustainability. Energy-efficient measures alone could reduce carbon emissions equivalent to those created by 146 million cars every year.

Gastech 2019: 5 Reasons the World Is Embracing Natural Gas

LNG exports from the US and elsewhere continue to grow as natural gas takes a central role in meeting global energy needs. Speakers at Gastech 2019 in Houston, Texas highlighted five key reasons why the world is currently living in ”the reign of gas”.

5 Technologies for Decarbonization

While the world continues to demand more reliable and affordable energy, it also expects the oil & gas sector reduce its CO₂ emissions. This video highlights five technologies that help meet this dual challenge.

Hydrogen’s Vast Potential to Make Power Generation Cleaner and More Efficient

Liquid hydrogen took the U.S. into space and onwards to the moon. 50 years on, hydrogen is once in focus – this time as a source of energy that can help mitigate climate change by dramatically reducing CO₂ emissions from power stations.

LNG Exports From the US Are Booming. Here’s What That Means

The US became a net exporter of natural gas for the first time in early 2018, after more than 60 years as a net importer. As it continues to build out this position the biggest impact of US LNG will be in aiding global economic growth, particularly in Asia, where demand is accelerating rapidly.

Finding the ‘X’ Factor for Deep Decarbonisation

Hydrogen is on the agenda at this year’s Gastech Conference in Houston, Texas. In this article, Professor Kakaras argues that hydrogen and other Power-to-‘X’ technologies will be an essential part of the effort to decarbonise society.

How to Turn the Wind Into Liquid Fuels

The technology exists to produce liquid fuels like methanol from renewable energy sources and blend with petrol or replace it altogether, creating a cleaner fuel with lower emissions. This year’s Gastech conference in Texas will provide a valuable forum to reflect on the latest developments.

How Flexible Aero-derivative Gas Turbines Can Make a Big Difference

As industry leaders focus attention on large-scale natural gas turbines, flexible aero-derivative turbines are proving to be an effective tool for projects that large-scale generators might not otherwise be able to service.

How a Small Island Made Itself the Center of a Revolution in Wind Energy Engineering

The Isle of Wight is home to a record-breaking wind power hub, helping bring more renewable energy to the UK than ever before.

The Energy Industry Is Transforming Before Our Very Eyes

The energy industry is going through a significant period of transformation. Countries are decarbonizing their energy grids to lower the impact on the environment.

How Renewables and Fossil Fuels Can Work Together to Power the Future

While fossil fuels are set to remain a significant part of the global energy mix, renewable technologies have emerged as an appealing complementary solution in order to make the industry greener.

How Oil and Gas Companies Are Being Transformed

Oil and gas companies are experiencing a period of unprecedented change, where even the idea of what it means to be a business in the sector is being transformed.

The Future of LNG

In this era of unprecedented uncertainty in the energy industry one thing is clear: the world needs more power. But the days of energy at any cost are over, as countries seek cheaper energy supplies that also demonstrate their green credentials.

Robotics in the Oil and Gas Industry

Robots designed for the demanding world of the oil and gas sector can help with round-the-clock surveillance and maintenance. But they can also help keep their human co-workers out of harm’s way.

Gas-to-Power Solutions Are the Gateway to a Cleaner Future

Natural gas is paving the way to cleaner power consumption, supporting the transition from traditional fossil fuels to renewable energy resources.
