In accordance with Bahrain’s national energy plan, renewable energy will be an area of particular interest in order to consider potential business opportunities. In the LNG sector, the collaboration will target a more sustainable and efficient energy mix to meet Bahrain’s future energy needs. Eni’s unique know-how and expertise will also be leveraged to evaluate further exploration opportunities.

Tom Greatrex, CEO of the UK Nuclear Industry Association, said in a statement that, to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and power a boom in electric vehicles and heating, the UK needed to quadruple its production of clean power.

In the AEO2020 Reference case, U.S. crude oil production reaches 14.0 million barrels per day (b/d) by 2022 and remains near this level through 2045 as tight oil development moves into less productive areas and well productivity declines.

U.S. renewable energy consumption totaled 924 trillion British thermal units (Btu), which accounted for 12% of U.S. total primary energy consumption.

Australia added 6.3 GW of new renewable capacity in 2019, against 4.8 GW in 2018

Renewables only accounted for 18.2% of total energy generated by November 2019, while coal alone produced 23.4% of the country’s electricity.

The oil and gas industry now needs to make clear what clean energy transitions mean for it – and what it can do to accelerate clean energy transitions.

Academics and concerned citizens often ask "how long" will it take for the global economy to transition to zero carbon energy systems in the transportation, electric generation and heavy industry sectors.

A “clean energy resource” is defined as “any technology used to generate electricity without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,” including “(i) electric generation facilities that are powered by nuclear, solar, wind, falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power; (ii) a natural gas-fired generation facility with 80 percent carbon capture; or (iii) a coal-fired generation facility with 90 percent carbon capture.”

Solar and wind power use has grown at a rapid rate over the past decade or so, but as of 2018 those sources accounted for less than 4% of all the energy used in the U.S.
