The silent revolution
The new International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Investment Report 2024 provides many elements of reflections and puts spotlight on the extraordinary acceleration of spending in clean #energy. There are many elements for a reasonable optimism, firstly for the unstoppable boom in solar pv, but also for rising spending in similarly important technologies like networks and batteries.
Lignocellulosic Agricultural Waste Valorization to Obtain Valuable Products: An Overview
4.1. Biodegradable Plastics The accumulation of petrochemical plastic materials, despite being among the most useful and comfortable materials for daily life, has caused serious problems to the habitat of fauna and flora, also posing a threat to humans [418]. Most plastics take hundreds of years to degrade, and for this reason, one-third of plastic ends up as marine or land pollution [419,420]. Just think that every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the oceans.

First steps in a reshaping of the energy industry landscape
Representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the European Commission are due to gather for gas negotiations in Brussels on September 19th. Experts say the talks may play a crucial role in addressing the pressing issue of Russian gas supplies to Europeans. Maroš Šefčovič, who is responsible for energy issues in the European Union leadership, said on Twitter that progress in this direction will provide the market a powerful positive impetus ahead of the winter season.
IEA: Big energy firms cannot ignore the Transition
Alessandro Blasi and Alberto Toril of the IEA look at how oil and gas majors are still investing very little – of the order of a single percentage point – in clean energy projects. What they are doing in response to new anti-fossil climate policies is increasing investment in short cycle projects that generate cash and returns quickly, minimising risk.
The journey of US light tight oil production towards a financially sustainable business

Small and medium-size independent producers, which dominate the US shale industry, generally have much higher leverage with high levels of debt and hedging.
Commentary: Witnessing the ongoing transformation of the oil and gas industry
The last few years have been particularly challenging for the oil and gas industry. From the natural gas shale revolution beginning about a decade ago to the dramatic shale-oil discoveries, the industry has witnessed spectacular technology developments, such as including hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. In just five years between 2008 and 2014 US shale oil production rose from near-negligible levels to almost 4 million barrels per day.
