Last week, the EPA issued their very first draft rules limiting carbon dioxide emissions from future coal and natural gas power plants in the United States (EPA). The new rules will limit the carbon emissions of all future coal-fired plants to 1100 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour (lbs CO2/MWh) and to 1000 lbs CO2/MWh for […]
In January this year, U.S. utilities trade group Edison Electric Institute (EEI) published a report on the precarious state of the U.S. electric power industry that subsequently launched a spate of doomsday articles such as “Electricity Utilities Must Evolve or Die: Are They Up to the Task?” and “Why the U.S. Power Grid’s Days are […]

In March of this year, a slight panic descended upon the UK as it came close to running out of natural gas after suffering a major gas supply disruption in the midst of an unusually long, cold winter. It has recently come to light, however, that the nation’s gas supply was possibly in even rougher […]
The European Parliament’s rejection of the EU Emission Trading Scheme’s (EU ETS) “backloading” proposal last week has dampened the outlook for achieving Europe’s 2020 climate change and energy sustainability targets. The targets were set in 2007 and legally bind EU member states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% compared to 1990 levels, […]
The African gas industry has historically been centered in North Africa, with Algeria alone supplying 25 percent of the European Union’s natural gas imports. In the past two years, however, Africa’s eastern coast has emerged with the most discoveries of gas and oil worldwide. Continuing in our five-part series on the emergence of global gas […]
