Global Gas Flaring Falls to Lowest Level Since 2010
Reduction in 2022 is equivalent to taking three million cars off the road. WASHINGTON, March 29, 2023 — Progress in reducing gas flaring resumed in 2022, with gas flared worldwide falling by 5 billion cubic meters (bcm) to 139 bcm, its lowest level since 2010, according to new satellite data compiled by the World Bank's Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR). "After a decade of stalled progress, global gas flaring volumes fell in 2022 by around three percent, which is a welcome drop...
Global energy market showing "surprising resilience", despite war in Ukraine, says Kayrros
Satellite data show that crude oil stocks have risen since the onset of the war in Ukraine China has played a key role in rebalancing the market and can now be said to assume the function of "de facto global swing supplier" Russian crude exports have so far not been affected by international sanctions Kayrros co-founder says that independent high-quality data is "vital" to understanding the complex movements of the global energy market The global energy market is showing "surpri...

Chung-Ang University Researchers Use Deep Learning to Develop a Forecasting Model for Efficiently Managing Electric Grids
The model accurately predicts uncertain parameters related to renewable energy sources for microgrid operation, their energy demand, and market prices The increasing emphasis on green energy has led to the development of renewable energy sources (RESs). RESs are integrated into power supply systems via microgrids (MGs) whose efficient and profitable operation requires handling uncertainties associated with RESs, energy demand, and market prices. To this end, researchers have recently de...
New White Paper From Danfoss: "U.S. is sitting on a gold mine of excess heat"
According to new data from multi-national engineering group, Danfoss, excess heat is the world’s largest untapped source of energy and yet little of its potential is being utilized, especially in the United States. Astrid Mozes, President, Regions, for Danfoss says the US is “sitting on a gold mine of excess heat” and that “policy makers must push for more efficient use of the vast amounts of wasted energy in the form of excess heat.” A new whitepaper details how it would give a productivity...
