Critical mineral circularity | Fantasy or feasibility
Few question the importance of critical mineral availability in maintaining energy transition progress. An important aspect of the use of base metals is “full recyclability,” the concept where these metals don’t break down during their use and can be reused indefinitely. Nickel, copper and lithium are examples of base metals with full recyclability which makes […]
EV corridors | Are we there yet?
The Biden administration’s ambitious plan to supercharge EV and alternative fuel corridors with the installation of 500,000 electric chargers has already revved up the expansion of direct current fast chargers (DCFC) to address range anxiety among EV owners. Since the introduction of the EV infrastructure plan in April 2021, more than 16,000 public DCFCs have […]
Mapping Class V and VI permits | All eyes on storage locations
CCUS has gathered impressive momentum over the past two years as companies seek to exploit the technology’s economic and environmental benefits. In the U.S., the number of Class VI well permit applications for permanent geological CO2 storage surged by 40, or 800%, between May 2021 and May 2023, owing largely to enhancements to the 45Q […]

From promise to plateau | Canada’s challenge to cut GHG emissions
Governments and companies across Canada continue to heavily invest in technological innovation and emissions reduction programs to meet interim and longer-dated targets. The federal government’s ambitious 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan aims to cut oil and gas emissions by 42% below 2019 levels in the next seven years, and methane emissions by 75% below 2012 levels, […]
Energy innovation | Where do we go from here?
No single technology will be a “silver bullet” for meeting global carbon emissions targets — a diverse mix of technologies will be needed to achieve these ambitious goals. What will the future technology mix look like? That will depend on the pace of innovation and subsequent cost improvements for each respective technology. Highlights from Energy […]
The power of satellite detected flaring
In recent years, the oil and gas industry has witnessed a remarkable shift in focus towards environmental performance, driven by the growing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. Among the various environmental concerns, reducing flaring has emerged as a key priority for both oil and gas investors and operators in North America. Why […]
EVOLVE Conference 2023: Four takeaways for those that work in energy
In case you missed it, Enverus virtually hosted EVOLVE, our flagship conference, May 16-17. The event included two full days of presentations, panels and keynotes, distilling the most relevant data and thoughts on the industry today. Below Andrew Gillick, managing director and energy sector strategist at Enverus Intelligence Research, breaks down four key takeaways from the […]
CCUS | Risky business?
CO2 containment risk has become one of the most popular topics among our clients evaluating CCUS projects. Operators need to understand and evaluate subsurface features that could trigger CO2 migration and containment losses as well as introduce additional safety, reputational and financial risks. These considerations are also important aspects of the Class VI application process […]
A lifetime without charging in public
Anyone who thinks spending time at a public charging station is a blocker to buying an electric vehicle (EV) might want to consider the numbers behind EV and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle refueling times. The answer is that it really depends on your use case and primarily these two questions: • How many long-distance […]
