Hydrogen exports could shift to ammonia production by 2035 despite trade uncertainties

As hydrogen gains prominence in the global pursuit of decarbonisation and energy security, many major infrastructure projects are considering its transportation in the form of ammonia, suggests a new report. Meanwhile, industry bodies are calling for government support for the sector, as the UK’s largest hydrogen production plant enters front-end engineering and design.

Fossil fuels to continue; cleaner energy later – Energy Barometer 2025: Insights from ASEAN’s energy workforce

This year, the Energy Institute’s Energy Barometer draws on the insights from a regional energy workforce that reflects a local transition that is ambitious yet pragmatic: one that recognises the realistic role fossil fuels will continue to play, looks ahead to emerging clean energy technologies, and underscores the need for deeper regional cooperation, stronger policy frameworks and an energy transition that benefits all communities, writes Energy Institute Senior Analyst Kinga Niemczyk AMEI.

The new energy trilemma – regional implications for the development of future industry and trade strategy

For decades, energy policy has been framed around a simple but powerful idea: the ‘energy trilemma’, first coined by the World Energy Council over 20 years ago and defined simply as balancing security, affordability and sustainability. But today, energy systems now sit at the centre of a far more complex strategic landscape shaped by geopolitical rivalry, supply chain fragility, technological competition and accelerating climate pressures. In this environment, energy has become a central pillar of national security and industrial competitiveness. This shift is now reshaping industrial strategy, global trade patterns and the geography of economic development, writes Peter Godfrey FEI, Energy Institute Asia-Pacific (APAC) Managing Director, and Founder & CEO of CarbonSync Technologies (Singapore).

Energy industry ‘disappointed’ by increase in windfall tax, but reaction to other parts of UK Autumn Budget more positive

Announcing her Autumn Budget last week, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed that oil and gas companies will contribute more as the Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy (EPL; or 'windfall tax') rises from 35% to 38%. Alongside this, the government is removing the 29% investment allowance, and extending the levy until 31 March 2030. The government will retain the availability of 100% first year capital allowances within the EPL, and will consult in early 2025 on how the oil and gas tax regime should respond to price shocks once the EPL ends in 2030.
