The Changing Nature of the Forecourt in the Face of Growing EV Adoption
More and more countries are identifying their official phase-out dates for the sale of petrol and diesel cars. The European Union announced in 2023 that member states will be required by law to ban the sale of these vehicles by 2035 , while other European countries such as the Netherlands, Sweden, and Greece are among the countries looking to phase them out earlier. |

Sinopec Completes Drilling of China's Deepest Geothermal Exploration Well
China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation has successfully completed the drilling of China's deepest geothermal exploration well, the Fushen-1 Well in Hainan with a well depth of 5,200 meters. The milestone has revealed the mechanism of deep geothermal formation and enrichment in South China, the new breakthrough in the exploration of hot dry rock in terms of demographic region and depth is of great significance to enhance the large-scale development and utilization of geothermal resources in South China and aid the energy structure adjustment. |

Global Wind Power Production is “Very Predictable” Finds Eoltech Study
Eoltech, a leading wind and solar resource assessment consultancy, released today the findings of a new study that aimed at assessing the variations of the global wind resource over the last 15 years. The data show that worldwide wind power production is very predictable, with annual variations remaining within a ± 3 % range. These results are based on irec index, the wind energy index covering 80% of the world’s onshore wind farms installed as of 2023. |
