Scalable Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Facilities

Not every location has sufficient solar radiation (e.g. due to pervasive cloudiness) or wind energy (e.g. “Doldrums”) for these intermittent renewables. Some locations have geothermal energy resources, but other tropical coastal and island nations are not so fortunate. An alternative source of renewable energy is OTEC, taking advantage of the […]

Energy Transition #8: The Role of Wind Power in the Upstream and Mining Industries

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 […]

Energy Transition #6: How the Upstream Industry Can Reduce GHG Emissions

One of the first steps of the Upstream Energy Transition is to improve efficiencies of current facilities and particularly to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.  Decarbonisation was discussed previously so this article is particularly about reducing methane and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.  The Upstream industry has a corporate responsibility […]
