Hot topics
Making the industry more sustainable
The reduction in the world’s known oil and gas reserves, security of supply issues and increased climate change concerns have spurred investments in cleaner energy concepts. Consequently, the energy future is challenging and the solutions are not obvious, since conflicting goals must be balanced diligently.
Joining forces for a cleaner environment
DNV has acquired Global Energy Concepts and aims to be the dominant player in the international wind energy market.
Climate change
Combating climate change involves a variety of uncertainties and risks; ranging from societal, to commercial and technical issues. Understanding and managing risk is a prerequisite for making the right decisions.
Carbon bubbling in the North Sea
There is a huge potential for reducing CO2 emissions through extensive storage under the North Sea seabed. This is the conclusion of a report handed over to the Energy Ministers in the UK and Norway.
Deeper and deeper
South America’s number one producer of oil and gas has just achieved Brazil’s long-standing goal of having a self-sufficient oil industry. Recently, Petrobras has also won recognised awards for its transparency, sustainability and technology, and is now diving deeper into the Brazilian basin to double its production during the coming years. However, a number of challenges have to be overcome first.
