Global nuclear opportunities on the rise

During the last 12 years, there has been a substantial worldwide reassessment of nuclear energy. Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, safety concerns cast doubt on nuclear technology.

As the case for nuclear power’s impact on energy security becomes more compelling, countries are increasingly recognising the crucial role of nuclear energy in reaching net zero. Fernando Vieira at EIC looks at the global opportunities on offer

All eyes on LNG: key to tackling energy security and climate goals

During the last six years, data collected by EICDataStream has revealed a significant trend towards higher investments in liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, liquefaction and regasification pro

Amid ongoing climate goals and heightened energy security considerations, global investments in the oil and gas sector have notably shifted their focus towards liquefied natural gas projects, says Fernando Vieira at EIC.

Unlocking opportunities in global wind energy

EICDataStream’s pipeline of renewable energy projects highlights the onshore and offshore wind energy sector as a lucrative investment opportunity, driven by substantial CAPEX, new capacity additio

With technologies progressing and governments aiming to hit their net-zero objectives, the onshore and offshore wind sector is in robust shape across Europe, North America and South Korea. Fernando Vieira assesses the state of play.

Slow burn, bright prospects: opportunities on the horizon for hydrogen and carbon capture

Since 2018, the global energy sector has seen a surge in announcements of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and clean hydrogen projects.

Advances in the hydrogen and carbon capture energy sectors have been slow, but opportunities exist in Europe, Australia and the US, says Fernando Vieira at EIC.

Where is the money in energy?

Neil Golding, EIC’s Director of Market Intelligence, calls final investment decisions (FIDs) “the reaching and closing of the final, critical decision gate for an energy infrastructure project to p

When a large-scale energy project secures final investment decision, there is certainty that it will be built, unleashing opportunities for the supply chain to deliver. But which sectors are seeing the most activity? Sara Verbruggen finds out.

The Big Question: How bullish are you going into 2024?

Simon Wynne

Head of ABB Energy Industries UK

Despite strong markets in oil, gas and nuclear power, the energy industry is grappling with escalating costs, fluctuating interest rates and stumbling progress towards net-zero goals. Amid these dynamics, coupled with macro-economic uncertainty, what is the reality for the energy supply chain looking forward?

Is nuclear in trouble?

At first glance, the outlook for the UK nuclear energy industry is the best it has been during this century. The government has set ambitious targets for investment in new reactors.

The turn back to nuclear energy is encouraging, but with fears about the health of the global economy, realising these ambitious goals requires bold, brave leaders and collaboration, says Tim Yeo, Chairman of the New Nuclear Watch Institute
