What is the primary energy fallacy?

Dr Jan Rosenow FEI, Senior Research Associate at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, challenges the fallacy that fossils fuels cannot be fully replaced by renewables in the energy transition. He suggests that policymakers should prioritise replacing fossil fuel technologies with efficient, zero-carbon alternatives instead of marginally more efficient fossil fuel technologies.

Peak uncertainty – what the current debate about peak oil demand says about the energy transition

Several recent reports suggest that global oil demand either has peaked, or will peak, before 2030. On the other hand, oil supplier group OPEC+ vigorously rebuts these forecasts. Despite radically diverging visions, both sides do seem to agree about the fields of the coming battle: in emerging economies and between addition versus substitution. New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple investigates.

Upstream gas flaring emissions drop to 10-year low

Gas flaring activity in the global upstream sector fell last year to its lowest level in a decade due to improved productivity, increased environmental awareness and lower fuel demand caused by COVID-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions, according to recent Rystad Energy research.
