Is a battery electric vehicle always the greener choice?
/in Electric Vehicles, Energy, News, Oil & Gas Sector, Strategy, Utilities /by Osterwald Rathbone and PartnersAre battery electric vehicles always the greener choice? Your country’s energy mix – Is it ready for Battery Electric Vehicle (BEVs)? BEVs are often presented in the webpages of car manufacturers and government agencies that regulate the road transport sector as being a “zero-emission” solution relative to internal combustion engines. But this is not entirely […]
The Strategy Dilemma faced by Oil and Gas in the Energy Transition
/in Energy, News, Oil & Gas Sector, Strategy, Utilities /by Osterwald Rathbone and PartnersIt is clearly a challenge for the oil and gas sector to answer the call for a clean energy transition whilst the demand for energy sources continues to grow. There are many technological advancements required that will be difficult to implement due to the hydrocarbon-centric infrastructure. This is what we seek to explore here.
Part Two: Very large crude carriers: Will carbon cutting initiatives have an impact on the global fleet?
/in News, Oil & Gas Sector, Strategy /by Osterwald Rathbone and PartnersThere are several types of ships that transport hydrocarbons. One of the largest is the Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), which is usually about 330 metres in length and carries between 200 and 319 thousand tonnes of crude oil. Given the global push from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources, what could the future hold for this fleet of massive vessels? This is Part Two of a two-part article. Read Part One here.
