Structural changes in the energy sector are now moving fast enough to deliver a peak in oil and gas demand by the end of this decade under today’s policy settings.
After the peak, demand is not currently set to decline quickly enough to align with the Paris Agreement and the 1.5 °C goal.
However, if governments deliver in full on their national energy and climate pledges, then oil and gas…

Online, one can find no end of advice on mixing systems for biogas digesters - often going into great detail about impeller designs, speeds and angles – but away from the office desk, speak to a plant manager or AD operator, and they will soon tell you that even the best mixing system in the world is not something that they want – inside the tank.
Yet around 15 years ago when the UK was…
