CO₂ injection begins at Italy’s first CCS project

Eni and Snam have begun injecting CO₂ into a depleted gas reservoir off the coast of Ravenna, in what is Italy’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. Meanwhile, a new report suggests that CO₂ utilisation deployment in carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) projects is being hindered by high costs and insufficient subsidies.

A smarter way to heat Europe’s homes

Heat pumps offer economic, environmental and energy security advantages over fossil gas boilers for domestic heating, and represent a fully proven technology in parts of northern Europe. Time for the rest of Europe to catch up, argues Kaj af Kleen, Chief Product and Technology Officer at heat pump company Aira.

The long game of decarbonisation finance

The traditional approach of pursuing quick-win, low-cost carbon reduction projects at specific sites or facilities might provide incremental progress, but it often leaves high-impact sustainability projects requiring significant upfront capital on the back burner. Benoit Hemon, Managing Director EMEA of Engie Impact, explains how a more ambitious approach to climate action funding might be considered.

Electrification – the pathway to affordable, low-carbon heating for homes

Local heat and electricity storage, and local heat sources, plus suitable controls and energy tariffs, can help to optimise the use of individual or networked heat pumps to decarbonise UK heating. Alastair Murray, CEO of UK low-carbon heating company Rendesco, explains how.

Heavy duty transport transition will rely more on hydrogen than batteries, according to new report

The global rush to zero emissions offers the transport sector two choices for decarbonisation, and among passenger vehicles it is clear the choice has already been made in favour of battery electric vehicles (EVs). However, despite some obstacles remaining, the hydrogen fuel cell is expected to dominate in the heavy-duty, long-distance trucking sector, according to Rethink Energy.

How energy companies can combat the threat of European deindustrialisation

Europe’s industrial competitiveness is under increasing pressure from high energy costs and growing competition from the US and Asia, which could shift manufacturing activity away from the continent. The situation presents both challenges and opportunities for the energy sector, which could become a cornerstone of efforts to retain energy-intensive industries in Europe, writes Florence Carlot, Partner with Arthur D Little.
