Decarbonization
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.

Is seaweed farming a viable alternative to industrial-scale carbon capture and storage? This 3-year project off the coast of Norway aims to find out. -
While small modular reactors open doors to affordable, carbon-free nuclear power, they also raise new questions over waste disposal.
-
It's not just about how much resource is left in the ground. The world's super basins will also need ample access to renewable energy and carbon storage in order to remain competitive in the upcoming decades.
-
Using CO2 as the geothermal power fluid to generate electricity from low-temperature abandoned hydrocarbon wells can help reduce well costs and optimize energy production. In this paper, a previously developed coupled well/reservoir model is extended to study the effects of fluid properties on thermal output.
-
Neptune Energy, ExxonMobil, Rosewood, and EBN have agreed to cooperate on the L10 Carbon Capture and Storage project in the Dutch North Sea.
-
Chevron assets in Texas and Colorado have earned high marks for control of methane emissions under a pilot program with Project Canary, paving the way for its sale of responsibly sourced gas.
-
Energy transition in the UK will require absolute commitment to projects and deadlines. A slower pace of the development of energy transition projects will be less able to support the supply-chain critical mass so essential to reaching net zero.

This paper discusses the applications of carbon-capture processes in the steelmaking industry from an economic standpoint.
-
This paper discusses the challenges presented by factors such as infrastructure, types of primary energy, and investment.

An emissions-reduction study conducted for a Middle East operator identified potential annual savings of $10 million–$15 million, a 20% decrease in total Scope 1 CO2eq emissions, and 10 MW of energy reduction and delivered more than 100 recommendations for both technical and internal framework improvements.
