Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructure2024 Statistical Review of World Energy™ by The Energy Institute (EI) presents data on the world's energy markets for 2023. Overall, 2023 can safely be called a year of records. First of all, global primary energy consumption reached a new record for the second year in a row, and global oil and coal production reached the highest level in history. This also applies...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureThe 2024 edition of the World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report reveals that the world came back to the high levels of gas flaring last seen in 2019. Global gas flaring at upstream oil and gas facilities increased by 7%, from 139 bcm in 2022 to 148 bcm in 2023. This shows that the global efforts to reduce gas flaring have not been successful and rapid action...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureThe extraction of natural hydrogen from the bowels of the earth is today considered a very promising area in renewable energy. Hydrogen is expected to solve a large range of industrial and environmental problems, including energy storage and reducing emissions from heavy transport. The original idea was quite simple: produce green hydrogen by electrolysis using...

Aenert news. Energy CompaniesCanadian oil industry and the financial position of the most significant companies are of practical interest as one of the indicators of the state of the world oil market. Canada has huge oil reserves, most of which are hard-to-recover oil sands. The extraction and subsequent processing of this oil requires additional technological and financial costs. Simple...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureIn January of this year, U.S. The Geological Survey has published a report on the state of lithium resources and production in 2023. In addition, previous data for 2022 have been updated. Information on lithium production in the USA is still not provided. According to the presented materials, global lithium resources reached 105 million tons, having increased by a...

Aenert news. Energy CompaniesCanada is one of the five largest oil producing countries in the world, if we consider production of synthetic crude oil, which is a product of enrichment of oil sands. At the same time, oil sands form the basis of Canada's vast oil reserves, which exceed 160 billion barrels. This significantly increases the operating costs as compared to conventional oil...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureToday, graphite has become the most discussed item among the so-called "critical" materials for future development purposes. This is not unexpected, as a number of experts have long been signaling the growing imbalance between production and demand for graphite. Nevertheless, after China imposed restrictions on exports of a number of the important graphite grades...

Aenert. Research Laboratory newsGeothermal energy is a type of renewable power which is found deep underneath the Earth. Other than wind and solar power, geothermal power does not require large surface facilities or produce harmful CO2 emissions. Traditional geothermal plants use water from reservoirs located deep underground to power turbines which then generate electricity. However, this...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureThe World Bank, in its the 2023 Gas Flaring Tracker Report, states that global gas flaring decreased by about 3% in 2022. Given that gas flaring has remained virtually unchanged over the past 10 years, this reduction is some progress. However, experts stress the need for greater efforts to end this wasteful and polluting practice. In addition, the report's troubling...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureThe new edition of the Europe Gas Tracker Report 2023 developed by Global Energy Monitor describes gas infrastructure in the European Union and surrounding nations, including gas pipelines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, gas-fired power plants, and gas fields. 2022 war marked by record high prices on the global natural gas market. That, plus a massive...
