Selected highlights from the January 2021 edition of The Energy Industry Times
Fuel Watch:
LNG to advance during Biden presidency, despite pro-climate agenda
While US President-elect Joe Biden is being urged to ban fracking altogether, he is expected to take the step to ban the methane leaks from gas wells, making gas production, and subsequently LNG production, cleaner. This could boost exports of US LNG to Europe and other markets.
Industry Perspective:
A new era for transatlantic climate cooperation
There is renewed hope that the incoming Biden administration will push the energy transition back up the US government agenda and galvanise global efforts to combat climate change. TEI Times speaks to the Edison Electric Institute about what the election of Joe Biden could mean for the world of energy.
Energy Outlook:
An integrated approach to energy efficiency
Coal may no longer be leading carbon capture and storage progress but there is a chance the technology could still provide a lifeline for some coal fired power plants, especially in Asia, says the IEA Clean Coal Centre.
Technology Focus:
Capturing carbon straight for the air
Capturing carbon dioxide directly from the air could be an important part of the toolkit in getting to zero emissions by 2050. Climeworks plans to demonstrates the possibilities at a geothermal plant in Iceland.
