The US Environmental Protection Agency withdraws its legal basis for federal vehicle GHG standards, setting up potential court challenges.
A DNV report on decarbonization says the Middle East and North Africa region is expected to become the world’s largest hydrogen exporter by 2060 while maintaining a dominant position in global oil and gas markets.
The planned facility was designed to process 34 MMcf/D of associated gas into fully refined gasoline.

The complete paper describes an advanced Rankine cycle process-based system that converts waste heat into usable electrical power to improve the efficiency of gas-compression stations on gas-production platforms and pipelines. -
Two technologies that may play a part in the decarbonization of the UK energy business are carbon capture, use, and storage and the use of hydrogen for energy transportation and storage. This approach builds on the UK’s gas-network infrastructure, which can be repurposed to avoid becoming stranded.

Despite the global downturn, the long-term transition to net zero presents a major opportunity to create new multibillion industries based around the North Sea. Cross-sector collaboration and major state/private sector intervention, together with strong leadership, will be key.
-
Approaches to carbon abatement using petroleum are discussed that have a strong chance to succeed in fulfilling technological and economic goals in reducing carbon.
-
If we must reduce emissions to make our industry “greener,” what are some of the options that we can apply?
-
An independent study pegged the cost of the project at about $2.6 billion, 80% of which Norway’s government planned to fund. The ministry said there is uncertainty about Northern Lights’ benefits and that it could prove to be unprofitable.
-
Operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and actions to decarbonize operations are among the highlights.
-
The White House review of proposed rules for an expanded credit for capturing and storing carbon dioxide resulted in changes that give the IRS more time to take back the credits in case of carbon leaks.
