The U.S. stock market plunged by the widest margin in six months on Friday, with the S&P 500 shedding nearly 3% after President Donald Trump threatened “a massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products” due to its continuing strict control of the rare earths market. On Thursday, Beijing announced that it was increasing export controls for five more rare-earth metals, bringing the total number of critical minerals under export control to 12. Under the previous restrictions, Beijing required exporters to apply for a license from…

There are not enough gas turbines being manufactured in the world right now. The message has been flashing on and off in the media for months now as the AI race drives demand for electricity sharply higher and, with it, demand for new generation capacity. Despite the spike, however, not all gas turbine makers are in a rush to go all in on the AI hype. They’ve been burnt before. In September, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that there were 114 GW of new natural gas generation capacity under construction and in pre-construction…

A two-month-long bidding war in Canada’s oil patch signaled there is another way for a company to boost its production and resources than investing in new oil sands production, which is considered the world’s most expensive source of new oil supply.   The acquisition saga for MEG Energy appears to have ended after the hostile bidder, MEG’s shareholder Strathcona Resources with a 14% stake, terminated its takeover pursuit on Friday. This followed a sweetened offer by the rival bidder, Cenovus Energy, which earlier last…

Lithium-ion batteries power the world. You probably have at least one – but probably two or three – within reach right this very moment. Lithium-ion batteries power a whopping 70 percent of all rechargeable devices, ranging in size and scope from electric vehicles to smartphones to utility-scale energy storage. But while the technology has become nearly ubiquitous in our daily lives, there is still a lot that we still don’t understand about the physical and chemical processes that power lithium-ion batteries. Until now, many aspects…

India’s latest gas discovery in the under-explored Andaman-Nicobar Basin could prove to be a valuable stepping stone towards increased domestic upstream production and greater energy security for the country – but whether the basin can become a significant contributor to India’s domestic gas supply and pull in more long-term national and international oil company interest will hinge on several factors, not least the size of the reserves. The presence of hydrocarbons within the Oil India-led Sri Vijayapuram-2 well in the Andaman…

One of the biggest mistakes we made about electrification is that we assumed that the new technologies embracing electricity, like electric vehicles for example, would embrace decarbonization at the same time. We were wrong. In fact, in the US today, exactly the opposite has occurred. The paradox of electrification without decarbonization is simple. Take, for example, two convenient symbols of electrification, an electric car and a heat pump. Both displace fossil fuel usage, but both technologies also rely on electricity. We, and others, assumed…

The signing of heads of agreement last week between U.S. energy supermajor ExxonMobil and Iraq’s Oil Ministry is perhaps the most significant of the recent deals between firms from the West and Baghdad. It is true that several others have been with similarly-high-powered global energy giants – including Chevron, BP, and TotalEnergies – and have involved multi-billion-dollar deals. But it is also the case that ExxonMobil’s exit from Iraq a few years ago was the most high-profile exit of any Western firm during that era for…
