The power grid - bottleneck of the energy transition?

While the case for the energy transition is evident, the challenges are extensive.

Tim Holt at Siemens Energy looks at what it will take to successfully expand power grids for the energy transition in the long term.

Hydrocarbons are insulating energy business from a recession

Oil and gas (O&G) supply chain companies are reporting record order books. Nice work if you can get it, especially in straitened times – but it was not that way a few years ago.

Oil and gas demand looks set to continue even as a global downturn looks increasingly inevitable, providing suppliers with a pipeline of work for the foreseeable future, says Sara Verbruggen

Profits prove elusive in the clean energy transition

Policies aiming to decarbonise energy supplies and deliver net zero have facilitated increased investment in renewable energy, such as wind and solar.

It has been a challenging year for renewables. Inflation is hitting industries such as offshore wind hard, yet some providers are hoping perseverance will pay off, says Sara Verbruggen

The clock is ticking

According to the UN’s World Meteorological Organization, July 2023 was the hottest month on record, affecting millions of people around the world.

To deliver on net-zero ambitions, we need to build a net-zero energy workforce. Investment, collaboration and harnessing the power of the offshore oil and gas industry is crucial. But time is running out, says Professor Paul de Leeuw, Director of the Energy Transition Institute at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.

Time for policymakers to face the truth about net zero

Is the energy sector in danger of becoming alienated from net zero?

Based on data and sentiment obtained by the EIC from surveys, discussions and conversations from across the energy supply chain, there is a growing sense of apathy and doubt about the viability of reaching net zero by 2050, writes Jonathan Dyble

The big question: How has your leadership style changed in the last 12 months?

Brazil braces for offshore wind

As the world embraces renewable energy, offshore wind has emerged as a promising sector.

A long coastline and strong winds make Brazil an attractive location for the development of offshore wind farms, with significant potential for growth, say Project Coordinator Gabriel Loio and Senior Adviser Julieta Verleun at the Energy and Ocean Economy Secretariat, Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro
