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.

We asked two founding member companies and some of EIC’s key stakeholders and partners around the world for their reflections on EIC’s 80th anniversary. To keep the celebrations going, we will share all their kind words and congratulatory messages in every edition of Energy Focus this year.

South Korea returns to nuclear power

South Korea’s nuclear sector is experiencing a surge of optimism as new president Yoon Suk-Yeol pledges to turn the country into a “nuclear reactor superpower”.

In its second U-turn in less than a decade, South Korea’s new Energy Policy reverses phaseout plans and targets 30% nuclear share in 2030, says EIC Energy Analyst Joanne Sivanathan

Making power grids fit for the energy transition

According to the US Energy Information Administration, world energy demand will increase by 50% by 2050.

As the world prepares its grids for the green electricity revolution, stakeholder and end user collaboration will be key, says Robert Denda, CEO of Enel-owned company Gridspertise

Decarbonisation: a holistic approach to the UK's energy system

Amid an unprecedented energy crisis, gas technologies can play a critical role in the UK’s power mix: not only as a reliable transition technology that helps ensure grid stability by countering the

With UK energy prices at an all-time high and a surge in inflation, access to affordable energy and the wider green transition are both under threat. Our short-term energy security measures must therefore complement our ultimate climate action, says GE Gas Power’s Head of Strategy, Martin O’Neill

Thinking of exporting to the Middle East?

Europe has been home to a well-established oil and gas industry for decades.

Given the region’s substantial hydrocarbon reserves and the fact that plenty of investment is taking place, it is no surprise that the Middle East is an attractive export destination. With support for fossil fuel projects ending in Europe, now is the time to look further afield for oil and gas opportunities

The next big thing in clear energy?

The global market for floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) has grown in recent years, fuelled by falling prices, decarbonisation targets and the need to conserve land and water.

Floating solar is a relatively new concept that is catching on fast in some regions, says EIC Research Analyst Nabil Ahmed

Can Norway call itself a leader of the energy transition?

Since the 1970s, Norway has exploited the abundant oil and gas on its continental shelf, contributing to budget surpluses and the development of its sovereign wealth fund.

Norway has ambitious emission reduction targets but is not on track to meet them, says DNV’s Programme Director of Energy Transition, Sverre Alvik
