Nuclear is quietly making a big return

In 2022, Europe woke up to the folly of depending on Russian gas. Supply security became the priority for most governments, followed by concern over prices.

Energy security concern is building support for nuclear, but success will hinge on governments and industry, says Tim Yeo, Chairman of the New Nuclear Watch Institute

Overhauling Europe's energy system

Europe’s energy markets are stressed as never before. Prices are high and volatile, and EU citizens are calling for huge interventions.

The EU Commission has plans for a ‘deep and comprehensive’ reform of the electricity market to fix Europe’s energy crisis and make it fit for a decarbonised future. The market proposals may yield results, but it is impossible to say, writes Cillian Totterdell at FleishmanHillard

Five countries leading the way in carbon capture and storage

The momentum behind carbon capture and storage (CCS) continues to build, with more than 100 carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) developments having been announced since 2020.

Increased investment by governments, including funding of technology development, means increased opportunities for the supply chain. EIC energy analyst, Joanne Sivanathan, looks at five countries currently leading the way in carbon capture and storage

Energy transition starts at home

Energy transitions and disruptions are nothing new. In the 80 years since EIC formed, the way we produce, transport and use energy has evolved dramatically.

Consumers will lead this energy transition, and energy providers can light the path, says EY Global Energy & Resources Customer Experience Transformation Leader Greg Guthridge

Is 'net zero' more greenwashing than reality?

Reaching net zero is about more than just balancing carbon emissions; it involves bringing about a transformation in the way businesses of all sizes operate. As the UN calls for a crackdown on greenwashing of net-zero pledges at COP 27, Energy Focus puts the big question to four members

Looking back on 80 years of Energy Industries Council

In February 1943, during the height of the Second World War, 13 companies came together at a meeting in London to form the Council of British Manufacturers of Petroleum Equipment (CBMPE).

As EIC celebrates a milestone anniversary, Energy Focus takes a look at the sense of purpose that has allowed the organisation to evolve, transform and grow

Happy 80th Anniversary EIC!

This year marks EIC’s 80th anniversary, and Energy Focus could not be more excited to celebrate all that EIC has accomplished in partnership with members, partners, employees and friends. It is because of their continued support that EIC has been able to evolve continuously since its founding.
