The International Energy Agency cited a wave of cancellations and persistent challenges for dropping its projection for annual production of low-emissions hydrogen by 2030 from 49 mtpa to 37 mtpa.
In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
The spring Unified Agenda provides a snapshot of efforts to advance the president’s plans for fossil fuel exploration and infrastructure.
