DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Growth Opportunities for the Electrification of Oil & Gas Operations" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


This study explores electrification in the transition to decarbonization of upstream O&G operations. It examines the key enablers of electrification and opportunities segmented by renewable energy (wind and solar) technology and platform (onshore and offshore) type. A comprehensive analysis of existing electrification technologies across these sectors is included.

Alongside major trends such as carbon capture, hydrogen production and usage, and energy efficiency, the electrification of oil and gas (O&G) operations using renewable energy sources will be a major area of opportunity for decades to come.

Globally, governments are looking for solutions across sectors to mitigate climate change and support decarbonization, and the O&G industry holds the biggest opportunities. The route to decarbonization requires supportive regulatory frameworks that mandate energy efficiency and emission reduction measures across all sectors. To achieve a low-carbon future, significant economic investment in renewables; hydrogen; bioenergy; carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS); and electrification are required.

Despite the significant potential to reduce carbon emissions, the electrification of O&G operations remains nascent. However, innovation among suppliers and supporting policies and regulatory frameworks from governments will boost adoption.

Most electrification technologies are commercially available, yet the high capital costs associated with replacing existing fossil fuel-based infrastructure, high electricity prices, lack of government incentives, and poor awareness are significant barriers to O&G electrification. But these restraints are changing as decarbonization goals become more urgent and a period of growth for electrification looms.

KEY ISSUES ADDRESSED

  • What role will electrification play in the energy transition and decarbonization of O&G operations?
  • What needs to happen in the O&G industry to enable large-scale electrification?

Continued Commitment to Disciplined Capital Allocation

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$PSX--Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) today announced a 2023 capital program of $2 billion, including $865 million for sustaining capital and $1.1 billion for growth capital. Approximately 50% of growth capital supports lower-carbon opportunities. The capital program is consistent with the company’s commitment to maintain a $2 billion annual budget through 2024.


The 2023 capital program reflects our ongoing commitment to capital discipline,” said Mark Lashier, President and CEO of Phillips 66. “Through our Business Transformation, we are capturing $200 million of sustaining capital efficiencies while prioritizing safety and reliability. We are also investing in returns-focused growth opportunities, including enhancing our NGL platform and converting our Rodeo facility to produce lower-carbon renewable fuels.

Additionally, the capital program supports our commitment to return $10 billion to $12 billion to shareholders between the second half of 2022 and the end of 2024 through a secure, competitive and growing dividend and share repurchases.”

The Midstream capital plan of $639 million comprises $329 million for sustaining projects and $310 million for growth projects. Growth capital will be directed toward enhancing the company’s integrated NGL value chain from wellhead to market. The Midstream expected spend includes 100 percent of DCP Midstream, LP’s sustaining capital of $150 million and $125 million of growth capital.

In Refining, Phillips 66 plans to invest $1.1 billion, including $389 million for reliability, safety and environmental projects. Refining growth capital of $729 million includes the continuing conversion of the San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, into one of the world’s largest renewable fuels facilities. The conversion will reduce emissions from the facility and produce lower carbon-intensity transportation fuels. Refining growth capital will also support opportunities for high-return, low-capital projects to improve asset reliability and market capture.

The Marketing and Specialties capital plan reflects the continued development and enhancement of the company’s retail network, including energy transition opportunities.

Corporate and Other capital will primarily fund digital transformation and information technology projects.

Phillips 66’s proportionate share of capital spending by joint ventures Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) and WRB Refining LP (WRB) is expected to total $1.1 billion and be self-funded.

CPChem’s growth capital will fund construction of an integrated polymers facility on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The facility, expected to begin operations in 2026, will include a 4,600 million pounds per year ethane cracker and two 2,200 million pounds per year high-density polyethylene units. CPChem continues expansion of its propylene splitting capacity and normal alpha olefins production, as well as other optimization and debottleneck opportunities. In addition, CPChem will continue development of a world-scale petrochemical project in Ras Laffan, Qatar, with a final investment decision expected in early 2023.

WRB’s capital spending will be directed to sustaining projects, crude flexibility and enhancing clean product yield.

Including Phillips 66’s proportionate share of capital spending associated with joint ventures CPChem and WRB, the company’s total 2023 capital program is projected to be $3.1 billion.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Battery-free 6G Communications, IoT, Microgrids and Other Batteryless Technology Markets 2023-2043" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


Battery-free is a megatrend. It is generating markets of tens of billions of dollars. This report spans wireless devices to off-grid energy using alternative storage or no storage at all. Here is a world of backscatter enabling 30 billion yearly deliveries of anti-theft and RFID tags already.

That is promised in advanced form in 6G Communications to enable billions of IoT nodes yearly, many with no on-board storage at all. There is the opportunity from the rapid improvement and adoption of hybrid and regular supercapacitors and many other options including energy harvesting without storage.

Supercapacitors and their variants are particularly demanded for storage in electronics and for delivery of MW levels in industry and energy. Reasons for battery-free include emerging tougher requirements for performance, life, safety, reliability, cost and fit-and-forget. Add photovoltaics affordable everywhere and increasingly needing long duration energy storage batteries cannot provide.

The report is intended for all in these value chains from materials suppliers to system operators. There is a particular focus on 6G Communications, personal electronics and Internet of Things requirements from no power to MW levels. However, there is much to interest those in other aspects of electronics and electrical engineering.

Chapter 3, at 32 pages, concerns strategies for wireless electronics and electrics without significant energy storage. That means no storage or the tiniest of capacitors. This toolkit includes the backscatter principle used in 30 billion/ year anti-theft and RFID tags already through to its advanced form in planned second generation 6G Communications that would operate client devices with no on-board storage such as IoT nodes.

Another tool closely analysed is devices working only when their energy harvesting is working, including parasitically off man-made emissions. You can already buy such access cards and sensors and see them in the wireless controls through one million buildings. What next? Multi-mode and multiple technology energy harvesting are explained as two options going forward and the progress towards battery-free, energy-independent full-function smart watches. Battery-free power electrics is also covered.

Chapter 4, at 20 pages examines the transitional option of "Strategies for Fewer and Smaller Batteries". Learn battery elimination circuits that reduce the number of batteries in electronics and its equivalent in buildings and major engineering. Then there is the option of demand management as done so well in wireless sensor networks and other examples presented with ways forward. Finally the trend to multiple energy harvesting in one device or systems is detailed and the prospect of using all three strategies together.

Chapter 5, with 24 pages of detailed comparison charts, infograms and more, addresses that energy harvesting μW to GW for 6G, IOT and other systems 2023-2043. See the devices and structures needing these technologies and learn energy harvesting system and component design with improvement strategies. Presented are 14 families of energy harvesting technology emerging μW-GW 2023-2043 with particular attention to the best nine. Many examples from the research pipeline and startups show the way forward. Major trends examined can add to your commercial opportunities such as flexible and structural energy harvesting and healthcare applications opening up.

Chapter 6, in 24 pages takes you through battery-free storage devices for very high-power short-term storage that may involve small capacity. That embraces regular electronic components storing electricity- inductors, capacitors but mostly a spectrum of choice - capacitor to supercapacitor to battery. This chapter therefore presents such energy storage options in 2013 and progress 2023 and some actual and potential applications of supercapacitors and their derivatives. There is detail on supercapacitors replacing batteries, the planned pseudocapacitors in the research pipeline and the rapidly emerging commercial success of lithium-ion hybrid capacitors LIC replacing batteries.

The report ends with Chapter 7 presenting large capacity battery-free storage for microgrids, 6G/IoT data centers, UM-MIMO base stations and buildings including Long Duration Energy Storage LDES. Because this is so important it covers 82 pages. A particular focus is the leading options in the research pipeline and commercial rollouts such as liquid-air and solid gravity energy storage plus pumped hydro reinvented to be optimal for microgrid sizes.

Arkansas Council on Future Mobility makes recommendations that will establish Arkansas as global leader by end of decade


LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yesterday, the Arkansas Council on Future Mobility outlined a plan to bolster the burgeoning future mobility sector in Arkansas and the heartland. The Council’s findings resulted from 10 months of intensive work by government officials, corporate leaders and private investors, working in lock step to achieve Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s goal of being the industry’s global leader by 2030.

The report is a first in the nation statewide comprehensive future mobility plan to address the rapidly changing future of moving people and goods on the ground, air, sea, sea and space - cleaner, faster, safer, and at lower cost.

Gov. Hutchinson earlier this year formed the Arkansas Council on Future Mobility, which is comprised of 26 advisory and 18 appointed members who are private investors, government and public utility administrators, academic experts, and corporate leaders including but not limited to Walmart, JB Hunt, UP.Partners, Canoo, the University of Arkansas, DroneUp, Entegrity, Garver, Gatik, Runway Group, Skyports, Tulsa Innovation Labs, Tyson Foods, Union Pacific, Southern Arkansas University Tech and Zipline.

The council was charged with five primary objectives:

  1. Identify state laws and administrative rules that create barriers to the development and enhancement of electrification and advanced air mobility (AAM);
  2. Make policy and program recommendations to support and facilitate the development of electrification and AAM;
  3. Develop priorities and recommendations for the allocation of federal resources and grant programs in order to invest in critical components of an advanced mobility ecosystem, including energy, infrastructure, security, and transportation;
  4. Identify future tasks and goals, including strategic goals in education, workforce training, and economic development;
  5. Create incentives to develop opportunities, amplify economic activity, and create jobs.

“The report the council produced is invaluable and can serve as a blueprint for how we can achieve our goal of being the global leader in future advanced mobility,” Gov. Hutchinson said. “It also reinforces the fact that we need to take a thoughtful, strategic approach to growing this industry. This growth will not come by accident and there are no do-overs. My fellow Arkansans and I are extremely grateful for the council’s intensive work that will pay dividends for generations to come.”

Gov. Hutchinson appointed Cyrus Sigari, an accomplished aviator, entrepreneur, investor, and current managing partner of mobility investment firm UP.Partners, as the council’s chairman.

“Arkansas has a rich history in which entrepreneurial spirit, tremendous work ethic, and cutting edge innovation have all blended to produce some of the most successful corporations and organizations in the world,” Sigari said. “These same values, along with the support of investors, corporate leaders, the general public, and state policy-makers, have made the state wellpositioned to take advantage of this incredible moment in time.”

Key Findings

Future mobility – which can include drones, autonomous and electric vehicles, electric scooters and bicycles, flying cars, spaceships, and other related technologies – is one of the most rapidly-evolving technological areas of advancement and investment.

  • A community’s access to mobility is tied directly to its quality of life. It is the underlying fabric of society, as well as one of its largest economic drivers as a $10 trillion annual industry.
  • Transportation and mobility comprise the largest source of CO2 emissions in the world. Reducing the industry’s impact on the environment has become a priority for companies and governments. As “the Natural State,” Arkansas can set an example for the rest of the world in proving that innovation and investment can be the catalyst to make transportation greener and more efficient.
  • Every facet of mobility is being disrupted by the convergence of exponential technologies. These technologies are helping humanity move people and goods cleaner, faster, safer, and at lower cost - on the ground, air, sea and space.

It is crucial for state officials to work in tandem with the private sector and educational system to establish and grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem needed for Arkansas to flourish in future mobility.

  • Attracting and encouraging venture capital is key to the growth of the future mobility sector, and the state is currently below average in that regard.
  • The state can learn from the success of places like Israel which on an annual basis spends $500M+ to support their local technology community by investing in startups.
  • The state has an opportunity to launch an Arkansas Innovation Fund backed by the $80B+ of investable capital living in the state to invest in this burgeoning ecosystem.
  • State lawmakers and administrators need to make additional legislative and policy changes to create the entrepreneurial ecosystem necessary for further growth.
  • Education will also be vital to industry growth. An Institute of Advanced Mobility at UA and an update to STEM-based curriculum in grade schools can help give students the proper skillset and inspire them to stay in state.

Arkansas becoming a global leader in future mobility will have a positive impact on the region. Interstate cooperation – especially with border states – will continue to be extremely important.

  • In March, Gov. Hutchinson entered the state into a three-state partnership with Louisiana and Oklahoma to join forces to compete for the $7 billion available through the Department of Energy’s Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act of 2021.
  • In August, the governor signed a landmark memorandum of understanding with Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma to establish the “Advanced Mobility Corridor.”
  • An opportunity exists to partner with other neighboring States (Tennessee and Texas) in addition to Oklahoma to form a Super Region for Mobility in the Heartland.

Arkansas has tremendous opportunities for development, manufacturing and facilitation of specific future-mobility sectors such as space exploration, drone readiness, and autonomous vehicles (AVs)

  • The state should be prepared to foster the rapidly-growing private space exploration economy. The establishment of a state-wide Arkansas Space Authority could develop and manage spaceports and then advocate for and attract space-related businesses.
  • Arkansas is already nationally recognized as one of the states most ready for drone commerce. The George Mason University’s Mercatus Center ranks Arkansas as the second-most prepared state ready for drone commerce.
    • Arkansas’ own Walmart has committed to extend drone delivery to four million US households in the year to come.
    • The use of drones has already proven to be a money and time-saver for the state. The state’s Department of Transportation’s use of drone-based inspections reduced the cost of infrastructure inspections by 72 percent and the time needed for these inspections by 88 percent. To capitalize on these benefits, the governor’s office could work with ARDOT, other state agencies, municipalities, and private companies to develop a strategic action plan designed to accelerate smart inspection solutions statewide.
  • The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) industry provides a once-in-a-century transformation of our transportation system, and Arkansas can exercise proactive leadership to steer this transformation to benefit the public.
    • The state’s lawmakers took a strong first step in promoting the AV industry with the passage of Arkansas Act 468. This law allows companies to enact autonomous vehicle pilot programs on public roads within the state.

Why it Matters

Lawmakers and local municipal officials all have a role to play in ensuring the success of advanced mobility. Efforts for Arkansas to become a hub for the advanced mobility sector and next gen transportation industry have already been launched, but to be a true global leader in this burgeoning industry will require more cooperative action. The benefits will include more high-paying jobs for Arkansans, a cleaner environment and less traffic congestion, and a higher gross domestic product to help raise the standard of living for everyone in the state.

Approval to purchase a share of the Darien Solar Energy Center is latest step in advancing MGE's net-zero carbon electricity goal.


MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Madison Gas and Electric (MGE), in partnership with We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service (WPS), subsidiaries of WEC Energy Group, received approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to purchase solar energy and battery storage from the Darien Solar Energy Center. MGE will own 25 megawatts (MW) of solar energy and 7.5 MW of battery storage from the 250-MW solar and 75-MW battery storage facility in Rock and Walworth Counties in southern Wisconsin.

"The Darien Solar Energy Center is another important step in our ongoing transition to cleaner energy sources, reducing carbon at least 80% by the end of this decade and achieving net-zero carbon electricity by 2050," said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. "MGE's investments in cost-effective, clean energy and battery storage technology help ensure that all our customers will experience the economic and environmental benefits of our clean energy transition."

Darien Solar Energy Center

Located on 2,000 acres in the Town of Bradford in Rock County and the Town of Darien in Walworth County, the Darien Solar Energy Center will feature up to 850,000 solar panels. It will generate enough clean energy to power about 75,000 households. MGE's share of the output will power about 7,500 households.

We Energies and WPS will own the remaining 225 MW of the solar output and 67.5 MW of battery storage from the project. Invenergy LLC is the project developer. The facility is expected to begin serving customers by the end of 2024.

Path toward net‐zero carbon electricity: 80% carbon reduction by 2030

MGE has a goal to reduce carbon emissions at least 80% by 2030, consistent with global climate science to limit global warming. MGE continues to transition its energy supply to cleaner sources, with the anticipated addition of nearly 400 MW of wind, solar and battery storage between 2015 and 2024. These projects are expected to increase MGE's owned renewable capacity by more than nine times when completed.

To achieve deep decarbonization, MGE is growing its use of renewable energy, engaging customers around energy efficiency and working to electrify transportation, all of which are key strategies identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
