OPEC’s coordinated effort to curtail global supply has so far managed to put a floor under oil prices, which have been sitting modestly above US$50 since the deal was announced at the end of November last year. Analysts and experts are now mostly predicting that oil prices will remain below US$60 this year. But resurgent U.S.

A team in Russia has developed a novel and simple strategy to produce high-octane synthetic fuel based on low-octane gasoline Fischer-Tropsch product via new two-stage processes in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis involving isomerization of alkenes and a methoxylation process. A paper on their work is published in the journal Fuel.

This long-term trend of Asian energy consumption to support growing economies strongly influences the extraction, refining, and transport of oil, natural gas, and other fuels. Falling generation costs, energy consumption growth, and policy work together to shift the electricity generation mix. —Linda Capuano, EIA Administrator.

Across OECD nations, the Outlook assumes the implied cost of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will reach about $80 per tonne in 2040. The Outlook for Energy identifies a significant evolution in the trade of oil and other liquids. China and India will together account for about half of the global increase.

However, due to its high production cost, there are some concerns regarding green hydrogen’s feasibility; realistic doubts that will dissipate as the earth’s decarbonisation continues and, as a result, the creation of renewable energy becomes less expensive. Hydrogen has a long history of working with industry.

High-level findings of the MIT study include: There are abundant supplies of natural gas in the world, and many of these supplies can be developed and produced at relatively low cost. Unlike other fossil fuels, natural gas plays a major role in most sectors of the modern economy—power generation, industrial, commercial and residential.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that Americans were burning through a million fewer barrels of oil last week than they were the week before. What isn’t dropping is oil prices and that seems to be making all the difference. But the usual decline in pump prices is being stymied for now by these high oil costs.”

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Solid-oxide-based cells operating at high temperature are more efficient and can operate with lower-cost metal oxide catalysts versus more expensive platinum. —Harry Tuller.
