Energy Security is significantly impacted by issues with approvals. As the Energy Transition progresses, the time it takes to get large renewable projects approved has lengthened considerably. As approval times lengthened, projects became more exposed to inflation of costs where economics were threatened. Some auction prices were too low to […]

Decarbonisation needs increased Electrification, but many hundreds of billions of dollars of international grid investment is needed (and years of permitting, sometimes unsuccessful) and many developing nations may not even have suitable national grids. In order to help meet climate goals, a potential more timely and economic solution is the […]
For remote, power intensive Extractive or Hydrocarbon Processing Sites For remote, power intensive Extractive (Mining), Hydrocarbon Processing, or Industrial sites, sometimes there might be an opportunity to install large scale hybrid renewable energy solutions. Combining Solar PV, Wind, and perhaps Geothermal could offer a resilient energy mix, able to better […]
A wonderful collection of research on Energy Transition by our very own David Hartell. Energy Transition
As we have read over previous articles, there are many aspects of the Energy Transition that are able to be readily adopted by Extractive Industry companies. To recap, these are some of the recommended steps of the Energy Transition: Improve energy usage efficiencies; Reduce waste and GHG emissions; Implement Carbon […]
Africa is a diverse continent with a wide range of climate, economies, and living standards. Increased electricity access is critical to improve economies and living standards including clean water and improved sanitation. The Energy Transition is challenged by prevailing climate conditions affecting Solar and Wind Renewables in some areas, so […]
As discussed in the previous article, the Upstream and Mining industries have been working to accommodate sources of Renewable Power generation for their facilities. Wind Power is the topic of this article. For every amount of power generation generated from Renewables, a remote facility saves fuel costs and reducing conventional […]
