Last week, the French Commission de régulation de l'énergie published a crucial prospective report on carbon capture, transport, storage, and utilization (CCUS). I see this report as a great perspective on the ways to accelerate CCUS deployment in France.   Spanning from January 2023 to July 2024, the report emphasizes the shift away from the energy crisis and the vital decisions undertaken to align the energy sector with decarbonization goals. As Emmanuelle Wargon rightly points out in Les Echos : "CCUS is a key element in achieving our decarbonization goals, particularly where no accessible technology exists." Indeed, for sectors such as steel, cement, and chemicals, where there are limited technological alternatives, CCUS stands out as a critical complementary solution.   The stakes are significant: the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that global CCUS needs will exceed 5,000 MtCO2 captured annually by 2050. It is therefore imperative to strengthen support for CCUS. Among the 11 recommendations of the report, the focus is on building social acceptability, ensuring flexible regulation of the value chains, setting strategic upfront planning, and fostering close collaboration between public and private stakeholders.   At Vallourec, we are fully committed to this transition. Our high-performance tubular solutions are ready to meet this challenge, by ensuring the safe transport and storage of CO2 through robust and reliable infrastructure.   I am convinced that CCUS is not only a strategic lever to achieve carbon neutrality, but also a driver of transformation for tomorrow’s industry and economy !   For more information, here is the report : :https://lnkd.in/e7Shr6DF

VIDEO: Gas In Focus energy highlights https://lnkd.in/esUisWdW Gas In Focus deputy-editor Marta Del Buono and energy market reporter Lars Kjoellesdal discuss the role of Algeria as natural gas exporter to Europe. In 2023, Algerian LNG exports rose by nearly 30% from 2022, according to ICIS LNG Edge. Algerian LNG and piped gas are becoming an important source of supply for Europe that seeks to fill the gap left by Russian gas. #ICIS #energy #gas #Algeria #LNG

Recently, I conducted a one-on-one interview with Madeleine Lafon, Managing Director of France gaz in Paris, to get more insights on the role of natural gas in the French energy mix. In her words, Madeleine said natural gas will continue to play a key role in France’s energy sector, contributing at least 20% to the French energy mix by 2030, with local production of green gases and innovative technologies to drive the country’s low carbon future. To achieve the France energy transition target, according to her, there is a need for long-term investment in the natural gas sector, and funding mechanisms for in-country research and development (R&D) to support the local production of green gases, including incorporating technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the energy value chain and enhancing the integration of low-emission gases.

All the main players are growing their #LNG portfolios. They are building out supply positions, signing sales agreements and integrating across the LNG value chain. With LNG playing a growing role, it is vital to understand who the biggest players in the market are and how their strategies differ. We've delivered an in-depth analysis and forward-looking insights into the evolving portfolios and strategies of key LNG players: https://okt.to/8l0ZSR

Excerpts from the attached article: Let’s hope for an opportunity to bet on whether the energy transition, the linchpin of the ruling energy orthodoxy, will in fact happen. The orthodox view, of course, is that it’s already underway, and the world will radically reduce, if not eliminate, the use of oil, natural gas, and coal. The only substantive debate about the energy transition concerns how fast it’s happening and what should or shouldn’t be subsidized to hasten the inevitable. Meantime, hydrocarbons still supply over 80 percent of America’s and the world’s primary energy needs, roughly the same proportion as two decades ago. Society as we know it would not exist if not for vast supplies of energy. Energy is consumed by every invention, product, and service that makes life safe, interesting, convenient, enjoyable, and even beautiful. One of humanity’s remarkable capabilities is to invent future wants—that is, to invent new energy demands. The global computing ecosystem now uses more energy than global aviation, and it is growing far faster. And now comes artificial intelligence: in energy terms, An ironclad hierarchy pertains when it comes to supplying energy. Call it a triumvirate of needs. First, you need enough energy. You can’t consume what you don’t produce. Energy abundance is key. Second, abundant energy needs to be cheap. Affordability matters. The visible political touchstone for that reality is the price of a gallon of gasoline Third, energy needs to be reliable at all scales and timeframes. Reliability is about meeting the energy demands of people, machines, and systems not only minute-by-minute but also over days, weeks, months, and years. Reliability is the inverse of fragility in energy supply chains.. A society must always be designing and building energy supply chains to combat the realities of relentless, often malevolent, interference from nature, accidents, or human choices. Abundant, affordable, and reliable energy creates the conditions for wealth that in turn make possible the time and capital required for everything beyond mere survival— from health care to entertainment to the modern luxury of environmental protection. Throughout history and across the world, we see the correlation between environmental degradation and poverty. In the near future we’ll see: global energy use rise, not shrink; global production and use of hydrocarbons expand, not contract, in parallel with rising alternative energy production; the abandonment of the idea of an “energy transition.” Policymakers who bet against reality will face unpleasant consequences. https://lnkd.in/gFEzfUNy

#Gazprom announced today (May 13 2024) that it has "significantly increased gas supplies to China via the #PowerOfSiberia1 gas pipeline". It says that from January 1 to May 12, 2024, the volume of deliveries was 37.4% higher than the same period last year. In April 2024, the increase compared to April 2023 was 57.1%. #Gazprom adds: "In addition to the contractually stipulated annual increase in supplies through the #PowerOfSiberia1 pipeline, #Gazprom regularly provides daily supplies in excess of contractual obligations. Since the beginning of 2024, daily gas delivery records have been set six times. This indicates China's interest in Russian pipeline gas and the reliability of #Gazprom as a supplier and partner". Natural gas is supplied via the #PowerOfSiberia1 pipeline to China under a bilateral long-term gas purchase and sales agreement between #Gazprom and China's #CNPC. Note that #Gazprom does not provide stats on daily gas delivery volumes through the pipeline.

From words ➡️ to actions. TotalEnergies has just passed the 2 GW mark for #RenewableElectricity capacity in France (out of 23 GW worldwide). This new milestone illustrates TotalEnergies' commitment to the #energytransition in France, where our 660+ wind, solar, hydro and battery storage plants: 💡 provide enough energy to meet the needs of 1.8 million people; 🌍 prevent 800,000 tons of CO2 emission per year; 🇫🇷 and make us one of France's top 3 renewable power producers! It's another encouraging step toward our goal of reaching 4 TWh of net renewable power production in #France by 2030, compared with 2.6 TWh produced in 2023, to support the country's objectives. Our momentum and investments elsewhere in the #EuropeanUnion, including in Belgium, Spain, and Germany, further underscore our dedication to a sustainable #energy future. https://lnkd.in/emp4_99j
