Carbon capture is among the technologies at the forefront of ambitions to tackle CO2 emissions resulting from the oil and gas sector.

In recent years, CCUS has emerged as a more viable concept and deployable option to just CCS, changing the view of CO2 from a waste product into a raw material.

A substantial number of projects are preparing to move forward over the next decade, from concept and planning into construction and operation.

This report will provide a detailed overview of the processes and technologies across the carbon capture sector, leading projects and developments, as well as the supply opportunities in the UK and globally.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the fuel which had the biggest gain was natural gas, which accounted for 45% of growth in energy consumption.

This insight report focuses on the role Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) currently plays globally and its prospects.

This report investigates the key markets and the possible developments envisaged in various locations in the years to come.

In the last few years, the Energy from Waste (EfW) market has gained momentum and is demonstrating its importance in decarbonising the energy landscape.

This report offers a detailed analysis of the industry alongside ongoing projects in the UK and in other global markets, including the key political and financial incentives behind the market's growth.

With sector capacity set to double over the next decade, this report will also dissect the range of supply chain and diversification opportunities generated by this increase.

The offshore wind sector's global expansion trend continued throughout 2019, bringing overall operational capacity to over 28GW.

Key markets such as the UK, China, Germany, the Netherlands and Taiwan further strengthened their positions as project pipelines were expanded and ongoing developments progressed with construction.

The sector is expected to see strong growth throughout the next few decades, not only in existing 'mature' markets, but equally in emerging ones.

Over the last 3 years, the UK has commissioned more than 10GW of renewable energy in Biomass, Energy from Waste, Solar and Wind (onshore and offshore) collectively.

This injection of capacity commissioned to the grid, 4.5GW of which specifically came from Offshore Wind, has taken the overall capacity generated in the UK to 43GW.

This report is our first to use data exclusively from our O&M database, EICAssetMap, to analyse this growth and predict where the UK renewables sector might go in the years to come.

Despite Covid-19 impacting activity in the oil and gas sector, globally the cost of decommissioning is still expected to be worth around USD$200 billion over the next 20 years, with around 49% expected to be spent on well plug and abandonment alone.

While the UK is still expected to be the largest market for decommissioning in Europe, future regions of opportunity are: the Middle East, APAC (in particular Australia, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia) and Latin America (Brazil).

Each of these regions has its own unique challenges, however several countries have begun to seriously think about the development of their roadmaps for decommissioning including India, Malaysia, Brunei, and Brazil.

Survive and Thrive 2020 (Volume IV) charts the course that 40 EIC member companies have taken to grow against a backdrop of continued market uncertainty, UK China trade tensions, OPEC disagreements, low or negative oil and gas prices and COVID-19, compounded by very tight margins, fierce competition, and Brexit looming large.

This year we revisit the same eight growth strategies identified in previous years and plot those that have risen and fallen in popularity. The research revealed three further areas that business leaders have found to be key to growth, and hence are included this year for the first time, namely transformation, culture and energy transition.

Development for renewable energy in the Middle East region has been slow over the last 12 months.

Due to the global pandemic outbreak, governments across the Middle East have imposed various rules and guidelines for working at construction sites, such as social distancing to keep employees safe and imposed travel bans into their respective countries.

This results in delays in achieving project completion across all energy sectors in the Middle East.

Much has happened in the Brazilian energy sector since the release of the first country report in 2018. Industry players have become more varied, stalled projects have resumed and new sectors are attracting investment.

The country’s pre-salt region is now firmly consolidated as the prime business source for the oil and gas supply chain, while onshore wind and solar projects have fully scaled up.

Meanwhile, multi-billion dollar proposals for offshore wind and green hydrogen projects across the country unlock new business opportunities.
