PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vine Energy Inc. (NYSE: VEI) announced that its subsidiary, Vine Energy Holdings LLC, has amended its second lien term loan agreement to effectively reduce the amount of future natural gas production that is required to be subject to hedging. Specifically, for the 24-month period following the original closing date, and for the 24-month period following the delivery of either an annual or mid-year reserve report, 70% of expected production from proved developed producing reserves is now required to be hedged. Previously, 70% of total expected production was required to be hedged.


Commenting on the amendment to the Company’s second lien term loan agreement, Chairman, President & CEO Eric Marsh stated, “This amendment meaningfully reduces the required hedging under our credit agreements and aligns the requirements of our reserve-based lending facility with our second lien term loan. While the use of derivatives to manage commodity price exposure will remain an important part of our strategy, we now have greater flexibility to manage our business in better alignment with our improved capital structure post our initial public offering this past March. We would like to thank our second lien term loan lenders for working with us on this amendment.”

Collaboration on strategy, design, digital engineering, IT and cloud supports fight against climate change

ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has developed a digital plant solution for Climeworks that supports the company in removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air more efficiently. The digital plant solution is part of a multi-service collaboration between Accenture and Climeworks and spans strategy, design, digital engineering, technology and cloud.


Climeworks, a global leader in direct air capture, offers carbon dioxide removal as a service to companies and individuals. Its newest plant in Iceland, called “Orca,” will capture 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, making it the world's largest climate-positive facility to date. The CO2 is put into underground storage provided by Carbfix, where it will turn into stone in less than two years.

Accenture and Climeworks began working together after leaders of the two companies met on a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in 2018. By then, Climeworks was well on its way to scaling its technology. Accenture offered to collaborate with the company on the next stages of its growth. A team of Accenture volunteers was formed to help Climeworks, later becoming part of the Accenture Development Partnerships program, which supports organizations working for good to positively impact the world.

“Our vision is to inspire one billion people to remove carbon dioxide from the air,” said Daniel Egger, chief commercial officer, Climeworks. “To bring it to life, we keep strengthening our offering for consumers and corporate clients – and Accenture has been playing a key role.”

Stéphane Piqué, who leads Accenture’s work for Climeworks and Accenture Industry X in Switzerland, said, “We began collaborating with Climeworks because we believe in their mission. It quickly became clear that Accenture could provide value in key areas of this exceptional company. The work we’ve done is a testament to making sustainability our greatest responsibility, and helping clients infuse it across their businesses. We’re looking forward to continuing to contribute to Climeworks’ success – for the next generation and ourselves.”

Accenture is supporting Climeworks’ fight against climate change across the following areas:

  • Strategy and Go-to-Market – Accenture industry and sustainability experts supported research in key business areas such as: What are the use cases for CO2 capture? In which industries and markets can it be sold? Is the Climeworks offering compelling to customers and corporate clients?
  • Ecosystem – Accenture introduced Climeworks to a broad set of clients and alliance partners interested in CO2 removal technology. This was instrumental in, for example, starting Climeworks’ relationship with Microsoft, who is now both an investor and client.
  • Design – designaffairs, part of Accenture, designed Climeworks’ new plant in Iceland to represent the symbiosis of nature and technology that Climeworks’ direct air capture stands for. The plant was named a 2021 winner of the prestigious “Green Good Design Award.”
  • Digital Engineering – The digital plant solution, engineered by Accenture’s Industry X group, allows Climeworks to monitor and detect anomalies in the CO2 removal process in real-time. These insights enable Climeworks to adjust the plant to factors like weather conditions and optimize its energy consumption. For example, the solution reduces the efforts needed to collect and evaluate operational information by approximately 50%. It also shortens the time from data-recording to reporting of key performance indicators by about a factor of 100.
  • Technology and Cloud – While the digital plant solution is already running on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, Avanade, a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft, is supporting Climeworks in moving its IT systems to the cloud, including its journey-to-cloud strategy and migration roadmap.

About Climeworks

Climeworks empowers people to reverse climate change by permanently removing carbon dioxide from the air.

One of two things happens to the Climeworks air-captured carbon dioxide: either it is returned to earth, stored safely and permanently away for millions of years, or it is upcycled into climate-friendly products such as carbon-neutral fuels and materials. The Climeworks direct air capture technology runs exclusively on clean energy, and the modular CO2 collectors can be stacked to build machines of any size.

Founded by engineers Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher, Climeworks strives to inspire 1 billion people to act now and remove carbon dioxide from the air.

Together we can build a climate-positive world. Join us!

Kang speaks with IHS Markit Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin for a new edition of CERAWeek Conversations – available at https://ondemand.ceraweek.com/cwc


WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the latest episode of the new CERAWeek Conversations series for 2021, Joe Kang, president of the International Gas Union (IGU), whose members represent more than 95% of the global gas market, discusses why “gas supply is a catalyst for the energy transition;” how LNG’s flexibility allowed for “tremendous performance in this dire situation” during the pandemic-induced market shocks of 2020; and looking ahead to the 2022 World Gas Congress being “a living laboratory for testing new technologies.”

In a conversation with Daniel Yergin, vice chairman, IHS Markit (NYSE: INFO), Kang talks about how energy transition is “inherently, characteristically diverse and complex.” Reacting to the IEA’s May 2021 report on pathways to net-zero emissions by 2050, Kang says the IEA scenario—which envisions the global power mix being 90% renewables and 10% nuclear—“is too ambitious and impractical.”

“Given that the present global energy mix is 30% oil, 27% coal, 26% natural gas and less than 10% renewable, the energy transition is a time-consuming, expensive, step-by-step process. How can you change the whole landscape in less than 30 years?,” he says.

Speaking of the varying challenges that developed, developing and underdeveloped countries face in meeting net-zero goals, Kang says that “different patients with different diseases should have a different prescription. We don’t have a panacea in the energy issue. There is no yellow brick road in energy issues.”

Selected excerpts:

Interview Recorded Tuesday, June 22, 2021

(Edited slightly for brevity only)

  • On global LNG demand during the pandemic years and drivers of future growth:

    “I’m really surprised to see the performance in 2020. Everyone predicted that the LNG [market] would be down. But we saw the 12th year of continuous growth. 2020 was no exception. We had a tremendous performance in this dire situation.”

    “LNG has a great advantage for its flexibility and agility. In 2020 [during] the pandemic we actually made progress in terms of consumption especially as oil and coal consumption were down almost 30% from 2019. LNG is different because we did have a huge drop right after the pandemic, but this winter there was a real spike in demand. Thanks to LNG we can manage the huge ups and downs of energy consumption.”

    “Asia is the primary growth market for LNG thanks to China on the demand side. But on the supply side, Australia and the U.S. played a key role in meeting demand from Asia. Now it is well balanced. The future outlook of LNG I see as very bright. LNG and piped natural gas are 30% of world gas production. Only 30% is traded: 10% is LNG, 20% is through piped natural gas. I see the increase in LNG outpacing piped natural gas.”

  • On the unique role of gas in the decarbonization agenda:

    “Gas has four core attributes: Energy supply that is accessible, secure, constant and affordable. Gas supply is a catalyst for the energy transition. We’ve proved those attributes of natural gas. In the future we are always ‘friends’ with renewables…You can see the trajectory in the global energy mix. Two energy sources are increasing. One is renewables, the other is natural gas. Renewables has a lack of flexibility, intermittency and seasonality. Gas does not have that. We can complement the shortage of renewables. That’s why we call gas a hand-in-hand partner to renewables.”

  • On the IEA’s May 2021 report on decarbonization roadmaps to 2050:

    “I believe gas will continue to play [a partnering role to renewables] but the IEA’s roadmap to 2050 didn’t say that. They didn’t recognize how gas contributes to the energy transition. We value the IGU stance and we are really honored it is an analytical forecast of the energy mix. But we differ [with the IEA] on the pathway of how to move forward to meet climate goals.”

    “The IEA said that by 2050 [the global power mix would be] 90% of renewables, 10% nuclear. Also, 90% of renewable electricity would be shared between wind power and solar PV. Given that the present global energy mix is 30% oil, 27% coal, 26% natural gas and less than 10% renewable, the energy transition is a time-consuming, expensive, step-by-step process. How can you change the whole landscape in less than 30 years? That scenario is too ambitious and impractical.”

    “We share the values of the IEA. But to meet net zero emissions, maybe this can be done in some parts of the world. Europe can maintain and manage that target. But in some developing or underdeveloped Asian countries, they see this as global policy centralization. Underdeveloped or developing countries say this is a second wave of imperialism. That’s not the view of the IGU, it’s the view of developing and underdeveloped countries, because we do have IGU charter members from Asia.”

    “The energy issue is inherently, characteristically diverse and complex. Different patients with different diseases should have a different prescription. We don’t have a panacea in the energy issue. There is no yellow brick road in energy issues.”

  • On the outlook for hydrogen:

    “Renewables have a very bright future, including hydrogen. On the world scene, new technologies, new things are very [welcome]. We have to analyze the property of hydrogen in a very extensive and accurate way. Hydrogen is, for sure, for the future. But hydrogen is a secondary energy, not like natural gas. Secondary energy is converted from primary energy, or electrolysis from water with a huge injection of electricity. According to the IEA’s roadmap scenario, half of the technology for hydrogen in the energy transition has not yet materialized.”

    “Hydrogen is a new technology. But we haven’t looked at what are the manufacturing costs in terms of capex, opex and what infrastructure we need. What are the safety issues that we’re going to face in the future? The IEA said only one side of the plan, they only talked about the goals to reach the climate challenge. But they didn’t list the costs involved. I imagine this is a trillion dollars that we have to pay to enter the hydrogen era. Who is going to pay for it?”

  • On the agenda for the World Gas Conference in May 2022 in Daegu, Korea:

    “In Korea, we are very successful to [potentially] reach herd immunity by the first part of November. The World Gas Conference is classified as the ‘Gas Olympics.’ The World Gas Conference is not only natural gas. It’s all kind of gases and also infrastructure and the technology related to ship building and the auto industry. Korea is the right place to provide the platform to discuss all issues relevant to the gas industry.”

    “Maritime organizations say that all of the new ships will be driven by LNG. Most of the ship orders that have arrived at Korean companies are LNG-driven vessels. Also, Hyundai announced they are going to manufacture cars driven by hydrogen. The World Gas Conference is a living laboratory for testing new technologies and new things in the coming decades.”

SHEFFIELD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#cbm--Every year 40 billion litres of lubrication oil is used to keep most machines running efficiently and reliably - from manufacturing, ships, planes and cranes to robots, generators, wind-turbines, trucks and cars - even electric cars. However, a new study shows that most lubrication oil is changed when it still has 30% life left, which means 12 billion litres of oil are needlessly consumed and discarded every year.



This is a huge hidden cost – both an environmental cost equivalent to 35.7 million tons of CO2 (or the equivalent of removing 1.5 million cars from the road) and a financial cost of $120 billion just in oil every year. New technology in the form of a small sensor enables oil quality to be accurately analysed in real-time and the perfect change point identified, thus enabling an instant and easy 30% reduction in use and waste.

New long-life oils are contributing towards reducing annual use, however, unless they are used to the full extent of their life, 30% of these oils are still wasted due to fixed time scheduled maintenance, rather than a schedule based upon actual need. Until now the only reliable way to know the real condition of oil in machinery was expensive sampling and lab analysis, as such 99.9% of equipment has oil changed based upon time schedules, resulting in 30% waste.

A new oil analysis sensor technology from Tan Delta Systems in the UK enables a tiny, low cost, sensor to be fitted to any equipment to analyse oil quality in real-time and tell the user exactly when the oil needs changing, thus enabling the full life of oil to be used without any risk to equipment, realising significant reductions in CO2 and cost.

The sensors can be deployed on anything: cars, robots, trucks, wind turbines, ships, planes, generators – even on the pumps and drilling rigs used by the oil industry itself to realise massive carbon reductions. This innovation shows how technology can help make meaningful steps to achieving global and corporate ESG objectives.
