Modern societies are still very much dependent on oil and gas resources for their smooth functioning. However, natural oil and gas resources are limited and non-renewable. In order to keep up with the growing demand for hydrocarbons, we need to find and secure alternate sources of natural oil and gas.

As carbon capture and storage (CCS) becomes an increasing focal point for governments’ energy transition plans around the world, there is growing optimism that the UK’s first two industrial decarbonisation schemes will be in place by the mid-2020s.

Petrobras is considering the potential of offering carbon capture and storage solutions for third-party industrial emissions in its native Brazil as part of a potential diversification strategy from the company’s key upstream oil and gas operations.

European economies are facing an energy crisis and soaring prices over the coming months. There have been concerns in some quarters that the increasing cost of charging an EV will disincentivize uptake among consumers. “The cost advantage for electric vehicles versus a gasoline car is fast diminishing here in Europe, and I’m really wondering to what degree that will begin to impact sales for EVs,” Saxo Bank’s Peter Garnry tells CNBC. Recent comments from Elon Musk about the need for more oil and gas reflect a broader concern that the uptake of electric vehicles will be hampered by rising electricity prices, according to the head of equity strategy at Saxo Bank.

The water energy nexus refers to the close relationship between the two resources. This link has been thrown into sharp relief over recent months, especially in Europe.
