Petrolio, carbone e shale gas dominano il settore energetico mondiale (87%)

Nonostante gli sforzi globali concertati per ridurre le emissioni di carbonio attraverso l’espansione delle fonti di energia pulite e rinnovabili, i combustibili fossili continuano a dominare il settore energetico mondiale nel 2012, secondo i nuovi dati diffusi ieri dal Worldwatch Institute. Secondo il nuovo rapporto del ‘Vita Signals Online’, lo scorso anno il carbone, il gas naturale e il petrolio rappresentavano l’87% del consumo di energia primaria nel mondo.

Shale gas, la rivoluzione che non piace alla Russia

Lo sfruttamento del gas non convenzionale da parte di Usa, Ue e Cina potrebbe privare Mosca del suo ruolo di fornitore energetico dominante, togliendo al Cremlino una formidabile arma economica e geopolitica. La cosiddetta shale gas revolution, ossia il massiccio incremento della produzione globale di gas non convenzionale da scisti bituminosi, sembra esser destinata a mutare profondamente gli equilibri energetici mondiali.

Ukraine close to shale gas deal

Ukraine’s government is weeks away from signing a shale gas production-sharing agreement with Chevron, of the US, and bringing in Italy’s Eni and France’s EDF as partners for a Black Sea hydrocarbon exploration project. Government and business industry sources said the landmark agreements would be signed next month, as Kiev steps up efforts to find alternatives to costly imports from Russia’s Gazprom.

Oilfield service groups target Europe for coming shale boom

Chiswick Park in southwest London does not look like a hub of the global oil and gas industry. But that’s what this elegant business park, with its water features, landscaped gardens and coffee bars has become. It is now home to the UK’s biggest concentration of oilfield service companies outside of Aberdeen. Seadrill, Aker Solutions, Halliburton and Baker Hughes have all made their home here.

Europe’s Shale Business in Race Against Time

EUROPE’S FRACKING PROBLEMS

The question of whether North America’s shale success can or will be replicated elsewhere is often quite narrowly constructed around the amount of gas that could, potentially, be underground. In the U.K., for example, a geological survey has estimated some 1.3 quadrillion cubic feet of gas is contained within the shale formations under the Bowland area in northwest England.
