As the world seeks to become more sustainable, clean energy has become increasingly popular. Clean energy is defined as energy sources that are renewable, have minimal environmental impact, and are relatively inexpensive.
It includes resources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal. Clean energy offers many benefits, such as reducing carbon dioxide emissions, creating jobs, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Governments and companies around the world have implemented new policies to promote clean energy.
These policies can include tax credits, grants, and subsidies for renewable energy projects, as well as mandates that require a certain amount of energy to be generated from renewable sources.
The oil and gas industry is one of the biggest users of clean energy.
While oil and gas companies have traditionally relied on non-renewable sources of energy, they are now taking advantage of the new policies to increase their use of clean energy.
The use of clean energy in the oil and gas industry can be divided into two main categories: direct use and indirect use.
Direct use involves integrating renewable energy resources into oil and gas production and operations. This includes using solar and wind to power pumps and compressors, as well as using geothermal energy to heat wells and other production facilities.
Indirect use involves using renewable energy to replace a portion of the fossil fuels used to generate electricity. This can include using wind and solar to generate electricity, which can then be used to power oil and gas production and operations.
Oil and gas companies are increasingly recognizing the benefits of clean energy, such as cost savings, improved reliability, and the ability to meet sustainability goals.
As a result, many are investing in renewable energy projects and implementing new policies to increase their use of clean energy.
For example, BP is investing in solar, wind, and battery storage projects, as well as hydrogen and carbon capture technologies. The company has also committed to reducing its operational emissions by 3.5 million tonnes by 2025.
Shell has announced plans to become a net-zero emissions company by 2050, and is investing in clean energy projects such as wind, solar, and hydrogen.
The use of clean energy in the oil and gas industry is still in its early stages, but the trend is growing.
In the future, more oil and gas companies are likely to invest in renewable energy projects and implement new policies to reduce their emissions.
This will help to reduce the industry’s environmental footprint and make it more sustainable.
Clean energy is an important part of the future of the oil and gas industry. Governments and companies around the world are increasingly investing in clean energy projects and implementing new policies to promote its use.
This will help to reduce emissions, create jobs, and reduce risk for fossil fuel companies as they transition into energy companies.

Sponsors, Music and Other Show Notes
Studio Sponsor: The Industrial Forest
The Industrial Forest is a network of environmentally minded and socially conscious businesses that are using industrial innovations to build a network of sustainable forests across the United States.
Weekly Sponsor: Stephen Heins, The Practical Environmentalist
Historically, Heins has been a writer on subjects ranging from broadband and the US electricity grid, to environmental, energy and regulatory topics.
Heins is also a vocal advocate of the Internet of Everything, free trade, and global issues affecting the third of our planet that still lives in abject poverty.
Heins is troubled by the Carbon Tax, Cap & Trade, Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits, because he questions their efficacy in solving the climate problem, are too gamable by rent seekers, and are fraught with unreliable accounting.
Heins worries that climate and other environmental reporting in the US and Europe has become too politicized, ignores the essential role carbon-based energy continues to play in the lives of billions, demonizes the promise and practicality of Nuclear Energy and cheerleads for renewable energy sources that cannot solve the real world problems of scarcity and poverty.
Look at what’s happened to me.
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m down at the bottom of the world.
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-e-e.
Barterin’ away with some wings at the fair
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me
