Aenert news. Energy CompaniesSolar photovoltaics continue to show consistent and promising results. According to Irena, at the end of 2022, the total installed capacity worldwide exceeds 1,000 GW, significantly outpacing wind power. The largest photovoltaic capacity is concentrated in China – 37.5% or 392.5 GW, Europe – 21.5% or 225.5 GW and the US – 10.7% or 111.5 GW. Together, these three...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesWind power is one of the key areas of renewable energy, which is the main hope in the efforts to counteract climate change. This predetermines considerable interest in the current state of this industry. Recently, the wind energy industry has faced a number of logistical, technological and financial difficulties, which have had a noticeable impact on production...
Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsThe Global Renewable Energy Report (GSR) from REN21 has changed this year's design and structure, dividing the report into 5 separate sections, the first of which was recently released and focuses on energy demand with special modules on buildings, industry, transportation and agriculture. During 2022, energy prices in Europe and elsewhere rose sharply to their...
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...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThree world leaders with a long history – Halliburton, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes – recently announced their financial results for 2022. Each of them specializes mainly in the development of highly efficient technologies and equipment for oil and gas exploration and production, decarbonization of the industry, as well as ensuring a sustainable energy...
Gas to Liquid (GTL) technologies have several stages of long and relatively successful development, as well as a fairly developed infrastructure for their application. On the one hand, the now long history of operation of large GTL plants in Qatar, South Africa, Malaysia and Nigeria demonstrate the attractiveness of this technology, but on the other hand, high capital costs and troublesome dependence on the changing conditions of the...
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has released a new report series on global hydrogen, showing the importance of its commercial transport and trade for the establishment of a more diversified and sustainable energy system as well as CO2 emissions reduction. Hydrogen is the most important component of a zero-energy energy system. Currently about 95% of hydrogen is produced using the steam methane reforming process...
The BP Energy Outlook 2022 defines aspects of the energy transition focusing on three main scenarios: Accelerated, Net Zero and New Momentum, which illustrate a wide range of possible outcomes for the energy system to 2050. The scenarios deal with carbon emissions including CO2, emissions from energy production and use, industrial processes, as well as natural gas flaring and from the production of fossil fuels. In all three cases,...
The Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022) presented by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) examines long-term energy trends in the United States. Based on the Reference case that serves as a comparison between alternative trends, AEO2022 presents modeled projections and assumptions about future energy production, demand, and prices in the country from 2020 to 2050. In general, EIA concluded that energy consumption will increase...
The Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, which ended in mid-November, was a significant milestone in the fight against global warming. Now, nearly two months after the end of the summit, after it has been displaced in the media by other topics, it is time to take a closer look at the strengths and the vulnerabilities of the agreements reached at the summit, and what else needs to be done to gain confidence that the...
