Special Technology Supplement: Running circles around fuel costs

As the global market for coal moves from one based on fixed calorific value to a more flexible price versus quality market, there will be increasing opportunities for circulating fluidised bed (CFB) technology, especially in countries where coal is likely to remain an important part of the generation mix for decades to come.

Fuel Watch: Opec’s role as robust oil market force comes to pass

Opec ministers, whose countries are producing crude oil flat out, look set to cut production and risk market share.

Industry Perspective: Converging futures in the North Sea

New ways of looking at technology are enabling closer collaboration between the renewables and the oil and gas sectors, and also addressing the cost pressures faced by both.

Energy Outlook: Offshore wind goes down to the wire

The financial severity of cable claims due to subsea cable faults could threaten the drive towards reducing the cost of offshore wind to €100/MWh by 2020.

Technology: Living with smart grids

PowerMatching City was envisioned as a demonstration of the possibilities of smart grid technologies – something it clearly achieved.

Final Word: Digitalisation and data dollars

We hope you find it informative!
