Congratulations on being appointed EIC’s new Chair. What role do you see yourself and EIC playing, going forward, in a rapidly changing energy landscape?

Energy Focus talks with new EIC Chair Andrew Cuniah about his passion for energy, EIC’s bold ambitions, and being ready for tomorrow’s markets

Look beyond traditional markets for growth

Namibia

  • Tax incentives
  • Tax holidays
  • Customs and duties exemptions/reductions
  • Investment allowances
  • Subsidised loans and grants

As energy security takes centre stage for the oil and gas sector in the year ahead, three global hotspots for activity – Papua New Guinea, Guyana and Namibia – offer exceptional opportunities for businesses to raise their ambition beyond established export markets, say EIC analysts Hirzi Iskandar, Lucas Ramos and Muhammad Arif Syafiq 

Nuclear power roars back in Central Europe

Poland

  • Tax exemptions
  • Government grants
  • Financial support and training
  • Cash incentives
  • Low-cost loans

As Europe transitions to a more sustainable future, the development and deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) present exciting opportunities for the nuclear energy supply chain. With plans to develop and put the first SMRs into operation, EIC energy analyst Aadam Sufi looks at why Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania should be on your radar

EIC achieves the King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade

EIC’s 80th anniversary year has prompted some significant reflection on its history and achievements.

Securing a coveted King’s Award title is not easy, and this renowned accolade is testament to the work that EIC continues to deliver for its members as the go-to energy supply chain trade association. What does it take to earn the King’s Award? Jonathan Dyble looks back at EIC’s rich history and discovers what the organisation hopes to achieve moving forward as it targets another 80 years of success

Will America's new climate law supercharge clean energy development?

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is the most significant clean energy legislation in US history.

The US Inflation Reduction Act could triple the country’s solar and wind investments by 2030. But reaching full clean electricity deployment potential depends on state action, says Silvio Marcacci at Energy Innovation Policy & Technology LLC

A golden age for LNG?

In 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, energy flows and trade shifted dramatically.

As Europe races to secure new energy sources, EIC Energy Consultant Gustavo Berlie looks at the region’s LNG expansion plans

A new era for nuclear energy

Today, there is a growing understanding of the urgency of a net-zero transition, and both markets and policy bodies are viewing nuclear energy as a promising pathway towards a greener future.

Small modular reactors are shifting attitudes, and there is a growing realisation that nuclear is a vital part of the sustainable energy mix to hit net zero, says Elisabeth Rizzotti, Founder and COO of newcleo – an innovative nuclear energy tech company that is developing a mini reactor that runs on nuclear waste

Will copper shortages delay energy transition?

The world is moving towards a future with higher levels of renewable energy generation and more extensive electrification of final energy demand.

Copper is essential for most of the clean energy technologies we will rely on in future, so a sustainable and secure supply of copper is vital to realise the full benefits of the energy transition. Jacques Moss at Guidehouse Insights asks: can copper supply keep up?
