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

Germany approves withdrawal from Energy Charter Treaty

Germany is exiting the Energy Charter Treaty, Economy Minister Robert Habeck announced. The treaty has been criticized for hampering efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels, allowing companies to sue for compensation. The agreement binds its members to its provisions for 20 years.
