Another concept for energy companies to consider is OTEC. Using familiar deepwater production facility technologies, Binary ORC power generation (used in waste heat and geothermal energy developments), and significant cost reductions over the past ten years, this energy solution is timely to be considered. Clean, persistent renewable energy that is […]

Geothermal Energy – the old new frontier in harnessing earth’s green energy. We are happy to announce that Stellae Energy is working to identify end of life oil or gas wells to be repurposed for the generation of clean, dispatchable Geothermal Energy. The Energy Transition includes reusing existing infrastructure as […]
With an increased focus on the Energy Transition, the oil and gas industry has been considering what is possible with regards to more efficient, sustainable, and clean energy for production facilities such as Floating Production Storage and Offload (FPSO) vessels. There are a number of steps which can be done […]
A wonderful collection of research on Energy Transition by our very own David Hartell. Energy Transition
Most people understand the electrical energy historically produced by large hydropower dams. There are however multiple types of flowing water that have the ability to drive turbines to produce electricity from generators. Over the past millennium water has been used to turn wheels to grind grain and then to power […]
Wave and Tidal Stream Energy is a significant source of Renewable Energy for the Energy Transition. It is estimated that ~1-10 terawatts of wave energy impacts our coastlines. The ocean contains a lot of energy in waves and tidal streams. Depending on exact location, the intermittency may be reduced compared […]
Geothermal energy is literally under our feet in varying amounts everywhere. It is renewable in the sense that the Earth produces it with internal thermal processes not associated with Man and it is naturally replenished – but it is up to us to access it efficiently and as cleanly as […]
What does the Energy Transition have to do with Clean Water and Improved Sanitation? Not everyone is as aware as they should be of the challenges many people face in the developing world to have access to clean water and improved sanitation. Many people take these services for granted, not […]
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 […]
Vast oceans separate remote island communities who are often faced with energy poverty. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) calls these locations Small Island Developing States (SIDS)[1]. IRENA supports these communities to reduce their reliance on costly fuel imports by harnessing renewable energies to accelerate their Energy Transitions. There are […]
Australia is a large country with vast distances between remote communities and national grids. There is a shortage of long-distance electricity transmission lines, so these remote communities have had to rely on Distributed Power Generation which was historically Coal, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), or Diesel powered. With the Energy Transition, […]

There is a shortage of long-distance electricity transmission lines, so these remote communities have had to rely on Distributed Power Generation which was historically Coal, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), or Diesel powered.
