The evolution of India’s nuclear sector: learning from global trends

India plans to use a new programme of nuclear power plant building to help satisfy its fast-growing electricity needs. But developing nuclear plants can be fraught with difficulties to overcome, write White & Case Partners Andrew McDougall KC, Dipen Sabharwal KC and Counsel Ximena Vásquez-Maignan.*

How to overcome the technical challenges of carbon capture projects

Striking the right balance between providing secure, affordable and increasingly lower-carbon energy will be key to building a more sustainable future. There is a genuine desire to decarbonise the energy system with ‘maximum energy, minimal emissions’. What is the role of carbon capture in delivering a low-carbon future and how are the technical challenges being addressed, asks Ken Ede, Head of Decarbonisation Middle East for leading consulting and engineering group Wood.

How the UK can rise to the top of the floating wind sector

The UK has a unique opportunity to take advantage of the burgeoning floating wind industry, transferring its considerable subsea expertise from offshore oil and gas projects. So argues Neil Gordon, Chief Executive of the Global Underwater Hub (GUH).

From force majeure to restart: the engineering and project delivery priorities after disruption to LNG infrastructure

Force majeure was declared by several Middle East oil and gas suppliers in the wake of damage received during the early stages of the US/Israel-Iran war. The term is used when conflict, physical damage or a major external event interrupts supply. It can trigger contractual protections, explain missed cargoes and provide a legal frame for disruption. But in LNG, force majeure is only the beginning of the story. The real test starts immediately afterwards, when operators, engineers and project teams have to answer a much harder question: what does it actually take to bring damaged infrastructure back safely, credibly and sustainably into service? Framing an answer is Aghalar Gasimov MEI, Technical Project Interface Leader for North Field Production Sustainability COMP-2, QatarEnergy LNG.

From uncertainty towards independence – one path to self-sufficient energy systems

Global industry accounts for a significant proportion of energy consumption and the sector faces increasing pressure to turn to renewables. Here, Stefan Hufnagl from energy software provider COPA-DATA, explains why industrial consumers should consider becoming more independent from energy markets to reduce energy costs and ensure stability.

Joined up thinking – the benefits of sector coupling for Germany's energy transition

Energy is consumed in three sectors: transport, industry and to heat and cool buildings. Connecting these three sectors will be crucial for the energy transition and is termed ‘sector coupling’. Here Saif Islam, a Senior Consultant, and Finn Bee, Research Analyst, at EUPD Research, describe the key benefits of sector coupling for Germany’s energy transition.

Asian action: a diverse picture of energy transition activity

Asia is a very large and diverse part of the world. At International Energy Week in February, a distinguished panel moderated by Mark Gainsborough FEI, Chairman of Seatrium, discussed the manifold challenges and opportunities of the energy transition for Asia, with regions both energy rich and energy poor working towards decarbonisation, new infrastructure and technology innovation. New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis reports.

Can the UK learn from Europe on funding offshore wind?

The latest funding round for UK offshore wind farms yielded no bids from developers, yet the method had previously been an enormous success, both in getting wind farms built and keeping down costs to energy consumers. Time to learn from some European countries, writes Nick Cottam.

What does India require to achieve net zero?

India has the world’s second largest population and one of the fastest growing economies. It is currently heavily reliant on coal for its energy needs but has pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2070. Soumya Singhal, Associate and Coordinator for Research and Partnerships at SPRF India, reports on how this could be achieved.

CCS offers Humber a new pipeline to prosperity

The Viking Humber carbon capture and storage (CCS) project has the potential to become a leading UK initiative, integrating the decarbonisation of key industry sectors with advanced carbon emission handling infrastructure and transport providers. The ambitious project is focused on delivery and storage of one third of the UK target of 30mn tonnes of CO₂ capture by 2030. New Energy World reports.
