HANSUN puts the marine systems behind LNG shipping in focus at Gastech

Singapore-based HANSUN brings water treatment, pollution-control and gas-generation equipment into the conversation around safer, cleaner LNG and tanker operations.

Norway brings the digital twin and the jettyless terminal to Gastech

On Norway's Gastech pavilion, Aize and ECOnnect Energy tell two very different technology stories that meet at the same problem: how to make complex energy infrastructure easier to understand, build and operate.

Aize brings Norway’s industrial digital twin to the Gastech floor

On the Norway pavilion in Bangkok, Aize is putting a practical question at the centre of industrial digitalisation: can engineers get from a complex physical asset to the information they need without fighting through disconnected systems?

BlueSoul puts the hidden hardware of cleaner shipping in focus at Gastech

The transition to lower-carbon shipping is often discussed in terms of fuels. BlueSoul and Torgy LNG are working on the less visible engineering problem: how those fuels are stored, contained and delivered safely aboard ships.

Cognite makes trust the battleground for industrial AI

Kobelco takes LNG compressor engineering toward liquid hydrogen

Kobelco's presence on the Gastech floor connects a century of compressor engineering with two demanding cryogenic markets: today's LNG carriers and the emerging liquid-hydrogen supply chain.

SNP backs climate-assessed North Sea production over imports as Aberdeen conference rejects union call for higher windfall tax

Delegates in Aberdeen passed Energy Minister Stephen Gethins' resolution declaring domestic oil and gas production, reviewed by climate compatibility assessments, "clearly preferable to importation", after he urged them to vote down a trade union amendment asking Westminster to raise profit levies on fossil fuel extractors.

Europe's winter gas bill comes due: prices at a four-year high, storage at a record low — and €7.9bn still paid for Russian gas

Europe's benchmark gas price this week reached its highest level since December 2022, before a one-day Norwegian supply scare unwound. Underground storage is at its lowest for the time of year since records began in 2011, the EU has paid €7.88bn for Russian Arctic LNG in nine months this year, and the EU ban on the remaining long-term-contract trade arrives on 1 January. The numbers, the region's voices, and what moves next.

Australia breaks its renewable investment record with a quarter to spare — while the grid learns to swallow the sun

Final investment decisions on large-scale renewables reached 5 GW by the end of September, past the previous best of 4.9 GW, as home battery approvals tripled and renewables out-generated fossil fuels in the national grid for the month. The same fortnight delivered record curtailment, negative midday prices and a near-cap A$23,107/MWh spike in New South Wales: abundance at noon, scarcity in the afternoon.

Escondida supervisors avert copper strike with three-year deal as supply risks persist

Supervisors at Escondida voted 64% to 35% on 14 October to accept BHP's improved offer, hours after their strike was to begin and a day before its extended deadline. The deal pulls a supply threat out of a copper market trading near records — but settles only one of the disruptions running through Chile's copper belt. The numbers, the voices and what it means for energy buyers.

October heat triggers federal emergency powers for PJM as forecast reserves tighten

The grid serving 67 million people across 13 US states and Washington, DC was forecast to come within 900 megawatts of its reserve margin this week — roughly one large power plant — as an October heatwave collided with the maintenance season. The government's emergency order lets PJM run plants past their pollution limits and call on data centres' own backup generators. Reporting on 14 October said no rolling blackouts had been announced, and PJM said it anticipated no customer impacts; the forces behind the squeeze have not gone away.

India's worst power squeeze in three years puts coal back at the centre of its planning

September brought India's worst power shortages since August 2023, and on 13 October the head of its electricity planner said the coal capacity now needed could reach "105 GW or even 150 GW" against the 97 GW in last year's plan. The coal ministry says supplies are strengthening and stocks have held above 18 million tonnes; steel mills and farmers say the cuts are biting anyway. The numbers, the regional voices, and what it means for anyone exposed to India's grid.
