Record high fossil fuel consumption subsidies in 2022

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), worldwide subsidies for fossil fuel consumption increased dramatically in 2022, surpassing $1 trillion for the first time. This surge in subsidies was caused by energy market turbulence, which led to international fuel prices soaring well above what many consumers paid. Consumption subsidies are energy price cuts for consumers,

EU imported more fossil fuel from Russia than India

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that Europe has imported six times the fossil fuel energy from Russia than India has done since February 2022 and if a $60,000-per-capita society feels it needs to look after itself, “they should not expect a $2,000-per-capita society to take a hit.” A New York Times report titled

Emission mitigation technologies key for energy transition

Emission mitigation technologies will play a key role in reducing the environmental impact of oil & gas operations as the industry’s energy transition takes place. Methods and alternatives such as biofuels, carbon capture, electric vehicles, and hydrogen, will be adopted by oil & gas companies to mitigate their net emissions. Biofuels (or ‘renewable fuels’) are
