Fuel Watch: LNG demand projected to peak in 2040 but new capacity still required

Natural gas, and LNG in particular, have grown in importance as the world begins to transition away from coal. Demand for LNG has expanded and contracted in recent years due to economic and political factors, but LNG will continue in a vital role for the next decade and demand will nearly double before it peaks, according to a new report.

Special Focus: Gas fired generation

Some argue that the days for gas fired power generation are numbered. Junior Isles hears from Siemens Energy’s Executive Board Member, Karim Amin, why this is far from the truth.

Energy Transition Investment Series: Portugal: a living laboratory for global decarbonisation

Despite significant improvements in its economy and credit profile, investing in Portugal's renewable energy projects presents notable challenges. In its latest country analysis,
TEI Times looks at Portugal’s generation and consumption profiles, policy, emissions targets and ability to attract the investment needed to meet government targets.

Industry Perspective: Leading the charge for energy security

As global power systems face unprecedented geopolitical and climate-induced challenges, distributed energy management is gaining traction as a vital strategy for securing our energy future. This makes  the quest for self-sufficient microgrids for industry and infrastructure more urgent than ever, says AspenTech’s Ron Beck.

Final Word: Abandoning a noble cause?
