This report examines New Zealand as an example of what can happen when climate ideology trumps energy pragmatism in specific detail and then explores the fortunes of Norway and the UK based on starkly different policy choices and regulatory frameworks.
The carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) market is accelerating, driven by regulatory pressures, net-zero commitments and value chain growth. As nations and corporations strive to meet climate targets, CCUS is emerging as a pivotal tool to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors.

Once the unloved cousin in a regional energy mix dominated by abundant supplies of crude oil, gas has barged its way to the top of the agenda in the Middle East and North Africa. Gas now accounts for more than half of the MENA energy mix, and the region is now responsible for almost 18% of global gas consumption, the third-largest share behind North America and Asia-Pacific. Discover the trends propelling gas to the forefront of the MENA energy mix.

Europe entered the second half of the year in a relatively comfortable position, with supressed gas and power demand, elevated gas storage levels, and a power supply situation that is vastly improved from the same time 12 months ago. However, significant risks remain across gas, power, and carbon markets. All eyes are on gas and power demand through to the end of 2023, with market participants looking for signs of recovery that have been conspicuously absent in the first half of the year. Margins will likely remain tight for many industrial buyers and limit the recovery in production, though falling prices could start to gradually filter through and incentivise behavioural changes across the sectors.
Download our whitepaper for an expert, cross-commodity view of the European gas, power and carbon markets. It contains expert analysis of market developments, buyer behaviours and industry trends as well as data, insights and forecasts on supply and demand and the anticipated price response over both the short and medium term.
When the IEA released the latest edition of its influential World Energy Outlook at the end of 2022, the central message was surprisingly upbeat, given that the world was still going through “a shock of unprecedented breadth and complexity delivered by the energy crisis”. The IEA concluded that the crisis precipitated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine promised to hasten the transition to a cleaner and more secure energy future—with fossil fuels projected to peak earlier than previously thought. The agency was essentially echoing the adage of Britain’s wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill that one should “never let a crisis go to waste”. Government responses to the crisis were “accelerating energy transitions”, said Executive Director Fatih Birol, pointing to the Inflation Reduction Act in the US, the European Union’s REPowerEU plan, Japan’s Green Transformation (GX) programme and ambitious clean energy targets—“supported by real money”—in the world’s two most populous nations, China and India. What does the crisis mean for LNG? And what's LNG's role in resolving Asia's trilemma?

PERUPETRO has selected 31 promotional areas in different sedimentary basins with important prospects. These, located in the Marañon, Ucayali, Madre de Dios, Salaverry and Tumbes Basins, can be granted to interested companies as License Contracts or as Technical Evaluation Agreements. Nonetheless, we continue with the “open acreage” policy whereby interested companies can propose other available areas of interest. At the same time, PERUPETRO has been aligning efforts with the different sectors involved in the development of the industry, to reactivate production and generate conditions for the development of important projects underway, mainly in the Peruvian offshore, where expectations are promising.
How does the energy industry reconcile the need for reliable, affordable and available fuels in the immediate future and the long-term goals around sustainability? In a series of exclusive interviews, the leading thinkers at the IEA lay out a difficult but achievable pathway and the important role oil and gas companies have to play.
Executive director Fatih Birol speaks of the need for an “orderly transition” and the dual challenge of an energy crisis and a climate crisis. “We in the IEA have no problems with any source of fuels,” he says. “Our problems are with emissions. If we can use these fossil fuels in an emissions-free way, such as making CCS part of our energy system, and if we can abate the emissions of the fossil fuels, then there is no problem.”
Gergely Molnar, the IEA’s main LNG analyst, highlights the near-term security push for new gas and LNG infrastructure, especially as Europe pivots away from Russia, and how these investments can be future-proofed to meet changing demand patterns. Toril Bosoni, the head of the IEA’s oil market division, warns of a potential crunch in crude investment given the way the energy industry is becoming more reluctant to spend on lengthy, high-cost projects.
Sara Budinis, the IEA’s top thinker on carbon capture, points out that CCUS is one of the key tools for decarbonising the energy system but that “governments and industry must act now to accelerate its deployment at scale”. Meanwhile, the IEA’s methane specialist, Christophe McGlade, does not pull his punches when talking about the “complete no-brainer” of tackling the costly and damaging methane issue. And the IEA’s hydrogen expert, Jose Bermudez Menendez, makes clear that the economic case for hydrogen still has to be made “because the only reason for using hydrogen as a fuel at present is the current decarbonisation objectives”.
Shareholders, financial institutions, governments and intergovernmental commissions are exerting pressure on industry to progress towards a target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Many major emitters—including industrial producers— have pledged to make more progress and be more transparent regarding their efforts and results in emissions management. For many companies, this shift will require a significant change in how they operate.
Most are currently only able to see and report on their enterprise-wide carbon emissions yearly—and it is often a backwards-looking view of the data. Quite simply, this lack of real-time insight into emissions will not suffice as companies must understand their options, decide on actions and track progress against net zero commitments across their entire value chain.
Today's energy companies are looking for innovative ways to reduce emissions while meeting or exceeding production targets. Discover how industry leaders are using advanced digital solutions to monitor emissions, optimize profit and yield, and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20%.
These are challenging times for many industries - the world demands ever more energy, but with a reduced carbon footprint. Meeting that Dual Challenge will require new strategies and solutions, and technology in support of digitalization will play a key role in how industries respond.
