Special Project Supplement : Electrification finds a sweet spot at Moerdijk
Electrification of industrial processes is seen as an important tool in the global decarbonisation effort. Junior Isles hears how Siemens Energy is helping Shell to cut carbon emissions by replacing old steam-driven compressors with electric drives at the Moerdijk Chemicals Park in the Netherlands.

Fuel Watch: Natural gas remains key source of energy to 2050 and beyond
Natural gas will remain a key source of energy for the foreseeable future, according to the Gas Export Countries Forum (GECF). The 9th edition of the Global Gas Outlook, launched last month, focuses on the significant role gas will continue to play as the world moves deeper into energy transition.

Industry Perspective: Grids in crisis: a wake-up call for Europe
The grid congestion crisis in the Netherlands is a clear signal of what’s to come across Europe. Ynse de Boer at Univers argues that without urgent action, economic growth could slow, energy investments could stall, and climate targets could slip further out of reach.

Energy Outlook: Unlocking EV flexibility: a win-win for consumers and the grid
The flexibility potential of EVs is huge. But the road ahead demands bold action, clear regulatory direction and a commitment to innovation, says Eurelectric’s Kristian Ruby.

Decarbonisation Series: US opposition to clean energy could drive investment elsewhere
While the US’ discouraging stance on renewables might deter both local and overseas investors, as global clean energy markets surge it could offer substantial opportunities elsewhere, says Joseph Jacobelli.

Final Word: It's time to amp up energy security
