In 2000, the government of Vermont introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all sectors except transport, covering electricity, thermal energy and process fuels. The Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC), the state's "efficiency utility", is obligated to meet targets, as well as Burlington Electric Department and Vermont Gas Systems. Revenues for VEIC's programmes come from electric and natural gas utilities (except the two mentioned above, who administer their own programmes), as well as heat, propane, kerosene and coal dealers. The obligation seeks to achieve between 2015 and 2017, a 321 800 MWh and 41 300 kW peak reduction(summer), 53 700 kW (winter) for electricity; and a reduction of 235 000 MMBtu for thermal energy and process fuels. Eligible energy efficiency measures include lighting; HVAC; industrial process equipment; CHP; appliances; thermalrenovation. Vermont employs a technical reference manual to determine the calculation methods for savings which includes deemed savings. Evaluations are mainly administered by the Energy Efficiency Utility (EEU). The "Process and Administration of an Order of Appointment" sets forth details for monitoring and verification, and requires verification of the reported energy and capacity savings and cost-effectiveness of programmes delivered by EEU implementers by an independent auditor.

Global Oil Security Looks Shakier as Conflicts Hit 45 Million Bpd of Supply

Almost half of the world’s oil supply is produced in regions currently engaged in hot conflicts, Reuters reported this week. The situation raises questions about long-term oil supply security and the limits to diversification. The Middle East, of course, is the most obvious and most disruptive example. While oil prices on speculative markets have remained capped by trader optimism, the physical supply of the vital energy commodity has been severely compromised, leading to rationing and emergency releases from storage across the world. Meanwhile,…

MIT Uses AI to Challenge a Century-Old Process for Mass Ammonia Production

Ammonia production consumes as much as 2% of the world's energy and generates roughly 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely because the industry still relies on a century-old process powered by fossil fuels. Roughly 80% of the 200 million metric tons of ammonia produced globally every year goes into nitrogen fertilizers, with the rest used in plastics, textiles, explosives and other industrial chemicals. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now developed a new method that uses AI and quantum-mechanical…

Equinor Targets 27% International Production Growth by 2030

Alongside boosting exploration and production offshore its home market Norway, Equinor is pursuing an international growth strategy, aiming to significantly increase its overseas oil and gas output by focusing on fewer but more lucrative regions such as the U.S., Brazil, and Angola. In recent years, Equinor has streamlined and high-graded its portfolio outside Norway, selling assets and positions in Azerbaijan and Nigeria, to name a few. But Equinor has kept and grown its U.S., Brazilian, and Angolan businesses, and plans to keep these growing…

Octopus Boss Warns UK Is Too Exposed to Global Gas Prices

Octopus boss Greg Jackson has called on Andy Burnham to deliver “urgent reform” to the energy market to protect households from “volatile” gas prices. Jackson, founder of the UK’s biggest household electricity supplier, said: “The government’s decision to take VAT off electricity and remove some of the levies from bills has helped soften the blow this winter, but bills are still too high. “Britain remains far too exposed to volatile global gas prices. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have created an unprecedented…
