This paper aims to describe the role of liquefied natural gas as a transitional energy source for automobile transportation in Nigeria.
This study concludes that it is relatively easy to generate enhanced hydrogen in the laboratory during injection of high-pH aqueous solution through a pack of olivine sand.
The authors present an efficient workflow using an embedded discrete fracture model to simulate carbon-dioxide flow by use of conductive faults.

The US Department of Energy presented the loan to LongPath Technologies to support the buildout of a high-frequency methane emissions monitoring network in US oil and gas production basins. -
The sheets are intended to allow spill responders to quickly find information on the physicochemical properties of the fuel or product, appropriate response and clean up options, and potential effects on responder health, the environment, and marine life.

Australia must insist on full removal when ExxonMobil decommissions the offshore project, the Wilderness Society has said.

Hull fouling is a huge problem and is estimated to account for 9% of the global fleet’s fuel consumption every year. Initial theoretical, laboratory, and land-based tests supported by independent experts have led to promising results showing that ultrasound can prevent biofouling.

Consulting and engineering firm Wood is leading a joint industry partnership to create industry guidelines for carbon dioxide specifications to accelerate sustainable carbon capture, use, and storage projects.

The presence of marine mammals during offshore infrastructure work is a major environmental concern. To safeguard species and their natural habitats, more and more local legislation imposes a cap on sound levels from offshore activities.

The increase in flaring emissions was led by operations in the Middle East, Africa, and Russia.

DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2024 projects continued growth in solar; slower growth in wind; and declines in coal, oil, and gas, while hydrogen and carbon capture projects are struggling.

Radioactive elements occur naturally at low levels in oil and gas basins. As oil and gas is extracted, these elements can accumulate in infrastructure. Now, scientists in Australia are investigating the toxicity of different radiation doses to marine organisms.
