EVs really are cleaner than petrol cars – analyst report

As electric vehicles (EVs) become a bigger part of the global car fleet, a contrarian view seems to surface every few months questioning whether EVs really are that clean. A new report by BloombergNEF (BNEF) claims the answer is a resounding ‘yes’.

Retrofitting coal plants to burn ammonia is ‘too expensive’

Japanese utilities are exploring the case for retrofitting their existing coal power plants to enable co-firing of coal with ammonia to reduce CO₂ emissions. However, ammonia-coal co-firing is unlikely to become an economically viable path for Japan to reduce power sector emissions, according to a new report by BloombergNEF (BNEF).

EU steps up efforts to abate methane emissions at COP29

The European Commission (EC) has launched a new Methane Abatement Partnership Roadmap to further accelerate the reduction of methane emissions associated with fossil energy production and consumption, in collaboration with a number of partner countries, international organisations, NGOs and development banks.

Energy consumption to outpace efficiency gains

Global energy consumption and associated CO₂ emissions will increase through 2050, assuming the global energy system remains on its current trajectory and absent new policy, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Biggest methane-emitting oil and gas fields could reduce emissions significantly

Global methane emissions could be cut by tens of millions of tonnes within a single year – if oil and gas producers target the world’s top methane-emitting oil and gas fields, a recent study by Rystad Energy has found.

What is needed to improve methane abatement in upstream oil and gas?

The upstream oil and gas sector has the potential to halve its greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint with interventions that are cost-neutral or low-cost, reports McKinsey & Company. Overall, the sector could cut up to 4% of global GHG emissions, suggests the company in its latest analysis, although this would require worldwide cooperation among industry players and capital investors.

Global methane emission reduction targets could be missed unless urgent action taken

Decisive efforts to cut methane emissions from fossil fuel production and use must go hand-in-hand with the decarbonisation of our energy systems to limit global warming to 1.5°C, according to a new report.

Record fall in EU power sector emissions as wind and solar grow

An unprecedented collapse in European Union (EU) coal and gas electricity generation in 2023 led to a record drop in power sector emissions, according to a new report from Ember.

Coal industry emits more methane than gas operations

Methane emissions from fossil fuels remain at stubbornly high levels, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), with coal mines the second largest energy sector methane emitter after oil. But efforts to bolster data collection and monitor methane leaks are making progress, a new report says.

ADNOC’s West Aquifer CCS project gains DNV certification as new report positions carbon capture at heart of Gulf decarbonisation

ADNOC has secured DNV certification for its United Arab Emirates (UAE) West Aquifer CO₂ storage project at the site endorsement stage. The recognition comes as a new DNV report underscores carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), methane reduction and low-carbon hydrogen as central to decarbonisation of the Gulf region.
