CALGARY—The government of British Columbia on Tuesday granted key environmental permits to a natural gas export plant backed by Malaysia’s state-owned energy company and two pipelines proposed for shipping gas to terminals on Canada’s Pacific Coast. The move comes ahead of a year-end deadline that Malaysian energy company Petroliam Nasional …
Assessing potential climate effects of natural gas versus coal electricity generation is complicated by the large number of factors reported in life cycle assessment studies, compounded by the large number of proposed climate metrics. Thus, there is a need to identify the key factors affecting the climate effects of natural …
There was a scare at Santhol village in Mehsana following natural gas leakage from a well of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC). The panic-stricken people spent a sleepless night as they felt discomfort due to a burning sensation in their eyes and throat caused by the leakage from well …
Fresh statistics from the ministry of Energy and Mineral Development indicate a steady increase in Uganda's mineral reserves, a development that could transform the country's outlook. Energy Minister Irene Muloni released the figures during the fourth Joint Sector Review meeting for the ministry of Energy and Mineral Development at Speke …
Germany said on Monday it has no plans to lift a ban on fracking, following a report in news magazine Der Spiegel that it was considering lowering the hurdles for shale gas extraction to allow test drilling. At present, Germany only plans to allow fracking below a depth of 3,000 …
RECRUITMENT flyers are being handed out in the main square of Los Ramones, a once-sleepy town of tumbleweed and spit-and-sawdust bars 63 miles (100km) south of Mexico’s border with the United States. The call is for workers to start building the second stage of a gas pipeline heading south towards …
Global gas markets may be at the threshold of a new age. An unprecedented gap between regional gas prices has triggered fundamental changes for future global gas market dynamics. This price gap comes at a time when the industry is expanding liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity by one-third, with …
Horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and other drilling and well stimulation technologies are now used widely in the United States and increasingly in other countries. They enable increases in oil and gas production, but there has been inadequate attention to human health impacts. Air quality near oil and gas operations is …
This analysis of almost 73,000 concessions in eight tropical forested countries by Rights and Resources Initiative found that more than 93 percent of these developments involved the land inhabited by Indigenous Peoples and local communities. From a business perspective, the risk posed by conflicts between concession operators and local populations …
Increased use of natural gas from a fracking boom won’t slow climate change as the fuel will simply replace cleaner energy sources, scientists said in a study. A range of scenarios, including the possibility of gas use rising as much as 170 percent by mid-century, would lead to anything from …
SAN FRANCISCO — In 2008, when the archbishop of the Church of Sweden convened a conference on the threats posed by climate change, the church’s investment managers took notice. The next year, they began removing fossil fuel companies from the church’s financial portfolio — a process that was completed last …
Wind power is blowing gas and coal-fired turbines out of business in the Nordic countries, and the effects will be felt across the Baltic region as the renewable glut erodes utility margins for thermal power stations. Fossil power plants in Finland and Denmark act as swing-producers, helping to meet demand …
The most important energy development of the past decade has been the wide deployment of hydraulic fracturing technologies that enable the production of previously uneconomic shale gas resources in North America. If these advanced gas production technologies were to be deployed globally, the energy market could see a large influx …
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) is working on securing Private Public Partnerships (PPPs) for Mutare and Masvingo city council to enable them to start exploiting methane gas as an alternative energy source. Methane -- whose main source is natural gas -- is an odourless and colourless gas that occurs …
Sub-Saharan Africa’s energy sector can be improved to unlock a better life for its citizens. This report describes one of the most poorly understood parts of the global energy system, offers an authoritative study of its future prospects, broken down by fuel, sector and sub-region and shows how investment in …
WASHINGTON (AP) — A surprising hot spot of the potent global-warming gas methane hovers over part of the southwestern U.S., according to satellite data. That result hints that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies considerably underestimate leaks of methane, which is also called natural gas. The higher level …
Cheniere's liquefied natural gas export project in Texas will not cause significant damage to the environment, federal regulators said on Wednesday, keeping the project on track to potentially receive a construction license by year-end. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's final environmental review concluded that with proper mitigation measures, the construction …
A low-carbon energy system consistent with avoiding the most damaging effects of climate change could free up trillions of dollars over the next 20 years to invest in better economic growth. The report, “Moving to a Low Carbon Economy: The Impact of Different Policy Pathways on Fossil Fuel Asset Values,” …
Canada is set to badly miss a 2020 target for cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, in part because of its failure to regulate the booming oil and gas sector, Parliament's environmental watchdog said on Tuesday. The scathing report by Environment Commissioner Julie Gelfand will add to the political challenges faced …
The European Union made headway toward a deal on a strategy to shift to a low-carbon economy and boost security of energy supplies amid a natural-gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Energy and environment ministers from the EU’s 28 member states met in Milan yesterday to prepare ground for a …
