Lithium Price Surge Jeopardizes Energy Transition Efforts

Soaring lithium prices are threatening energy transition efforts as EV battery makers will be forced to hike the prices for their products by as much as 25 percent, Morgan Stanley has warned.Over the past 12 months, the bank said, as quoted by Bloomberg, the price of lithium carbonate, which is a key ingredient in electric vehicle batteries, has jumped five times. This may force EV manufacturers to hike prices by up to 15 percent, hurting demand.The news comes at a bad time for EVs. Rising retail fuel prices in some parts of the world, such as the United States, are driving higher EV demand, but carmakers are already finding it hard to satisfy it amid persistent…

Ukraine crisis could increase demand for Louisiana LNG in Europe

Tensions between Russia and Ukraine could impede natural gas supplies for Europe, which in turn could increase demand for liquefied natural gas. If so, this trend would be unlikely to provide a major boost for Louisiana’s LNG sector in the short term, because the sector’s capacity already is basically maxed out, says David Dismukes, executive director of the LSU Center for Energy Studies. However, it could make a big difference eventually if it causes Europeans to rethink their reliance on Russian gas. “It should have some positive effect on…

The Era of Cheap Renewables Grinds To A Halt

The continual decline in production cost for wind, solar, and EV batteries was touted as the driver of their growing adoption and ultimate takeover of the global grid. Up until two years ago, there was no other scenario on the table—even though inflation was as much a reality then as it is now. Only now, it has become a lot more pronounced. At a recent metals and mining conference in Riyadh, several attendees noted that the mining industry had fallen out of favor with lenders because it was deemed as damaging for the environment as oil and gas. Yet now, it is becoming…

Natural Gas Demand Will Grow For Decades To Come

The “bridge fuel” narrative for natural gas is being replaced. Not so easily replaced, however, is the demand for natural gas. Natural gas—just a couple of years ago hailed as the fuel that will bridge the fossil fuel era and the renewable energy era—now finds itself the target of growing opposition and pressure from environmental groups and governments. Natural gas was recently denied transition status by the European Union. This might sound like the start of the joke, but Brussels is, in fact, very serious: in a draft new rule, the European authorities set an emissions limit of 100 grams of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour for gas-fired power plants. This is a …

Carbon Capture Is Critical To Net-Zero Goals

Net-zero goals cannot be met by rising renewable energy usage and wider adoption of electrification in transport alone. The world will need to reduce the emissions from existing energy systems and from heavy industries such as cement, steel, or chemicals production if it hopes to meet the ambitious climate goals and stick to the target in the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius. The decarbonization of the energy infrastructure, the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in heavy industries, and the production of low-carbon hydrogen will be virtually impossible without carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), the International Energy Agency...
