Tomorrow’s benefits and today’s problems: CEOs agree to disagree at International Energy Week

Only weeks before the Iran war broke out, senior leaders of oil and gas majors and utilities differed in their perspectives about the importance of the transition away from oil and gas, and the relationship between the transition and energy security, writes New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

Europe cannot afford to plan its energy future in silos

Europe’s exposure to energy price shocks is often framed as a supply challenge. Paula Kivimaa, Co-Chair of the EASAC* Working Group on the Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies, and Neven Duić, Co-Chair of the EASAC Energy Programme, maintain that the deeper vulnerability lies in how energy systems are planned and operated. A more integrated approach would improve security, reduce costs and accelerate the transition to net zero.

Global coal report suggests big challenges for COP28

Hosted in the oil and gas rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) and presided over by the CEO of the country’s national oil company, COP28 already holds controversy. But with global coal consumption still rising, in Asia at least, the event in November faces considerable fossil fuel challenges, writes Nick Cottam.

UK solar – a leading light, with more to come

Who doesn’t like a success story? And the UK’s solar energy industry is doing just fine, writes Solar Energy UK’s Kevin McCann AMEI, although it is also ready to step up to meet further growth targets.

Exploring the challenges of net zero: energy security, LNG markets and Saudi Arabia’s decarbonisation plans

Despite numerous governments making plans to move to net zero, and climate activists agitating for faster decarbonisation, consumer behaviours are yet to change. In part this is due to obstacles and roadblocks that were not foreseen when the plans were originally implemented but are now being encountered. These include the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the challenges of delivering a multilateral approach. The WPC Energy UK National Committee Expert Workshop 2024 hosted by Deloitte at its London office on 31 October considered these factors and other challenges. Nnamdi Anyadike reports.

Dutch heat pump market cools down but long-term need remains

European demand for heat pumps was insatiable during the energy crisis that started in 2022, with manufacturers investing billions of euros in new production facilities to help energy consumers replace fossil fuel boilers. Although sustainable heating goals remain in place, the market has truly cooled down. Nowhere has this been more pronounced than in the Netherlands, which was one of the fastest-growing heat pump markets during the energy crisis. Energy journalist Karolin Schaps investigates the reasons behind the drop in heat pump demand and what it could mean for Europe’s sustainability and energy security targets.

New focus on European energy deals

A new ‘Energy Deals Tracker’ has been launched by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) to help present a clearer picture of how European Union (EU) member states’ diversification efforts could shape Europe’s energy policy in the long term – particularly the impact they could have on the bloc’s climate commitments.

Navigating the new EU security directive for the energy sector

The European Union's Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is introducing stricter cyber security requirements for the energy sector, including power plants, hydrogen producers, wind farms, and oil and gas operations. However, it is not just European companies that need to prepare for NIS2, but also the global supply chains of EU-based energy companies, says Sudhir Ethiraj, Global Head of Cyber Security Office and CEO Business Unit Cyber Security Services at TÜV SÜD.
