EcoCrops International reports that Oil Giant BP says Green Power will be Wold main power source by 2040.

BP in a recent report predicted a big increase in the demand for wood pellets, wind, and solar power.

 Further, they stated that the world’s main source of energy within the next twenty years would be from Green Energy sources.  With Green Energy accounting for at least 30% of the world’s electricity supplies by 2040 as compared to today where 10% comes from sustainable energy sources.

 In certain regions such as Europe and Asia, this figure could be as 50% by 2040.  In the report, BP stated this speed of growth was without parallel.

 In comparison, it took oil almost 45 years to go from 1% to 10% of total global energy 

 However, BP predicts that we are still going to be using lots of oil with its core scenario envisages that the demand for oil will peak by 2030.   With hydrocarbons playing a major role until 2040 which will require a substantial investment.  They predict that the expected global demand for oil and gas to be 130 million barrels per day, up from around 100 million barrels a day today. 

 BP’s CO, Bob Dudley said the aim of providing more energy while cutting emissions would require many forms of energy and would be a challenge.

 He further stated that the expected growth in renewable to be driven by government policies, technological changes and the falling costs of wind, solar and wood pellets.

 Renewables are expected to grow by 7.1% each year over the next two decades, eventually displacing coal as the world’s top source of power by 2040.

 Spencer Dale of BP said that the company expected more efficient vehicles to have more of an impact on emissions than electric cars,

 He also sees the energy demand growth in China slowing as the country’s economy moves from polluting industries to a more serviced-based economy.  With India overtaking China demand for energy by 2025.

 The impact of the trade dispute between the US and China were examined with the demand for oil being 4% lower in the next twenty years if this dispute continues.

  BP is mulling a link between carbon emission cuts and executive remuneration.

Trumps biomass policy

In 2007 the USA Federal Government passed the US Renewable Fuel Standard which required ethanol blending with domestic oil in large quantities with frequent increases in amounts of ethanol being used.  The bill was passed to reduce the USA carbon footprint and increase the amount of renewable biofuel being used in the USA. Under the Trump administrations, they have been far less supportive of the biomass blending mandate, granting biofuel waivers to major industry players and allowing the trading of biomass credits to develop. Despite the less than active support for biofuel domestically Trump has been pushing his trade negotiators to get big concessions from his Chinese counterparts by asking them to lower their tariffs on biomass in particular biofuel. China's ethanol demand is expected to grow nearly sevenfold as the country prepares to introduce E10 fuel throughout the country next year. E10 fuel is a fuel using 10% ethanol and 90% petrol. U.S. trade negotiato...

China preparing solar farms in Space

Ecocrops internationa l reports that the Stations would orbit 22,000 miles from Earth and would weigh over 1,000 tons, that is 600 tons more than the International Space Station.  They plan to deploy small and medium stations between 2021 and 2025 and a megawatt level satellite in 2030. Space-based solar power has two major advantages over Earth-based solar power:  due to the orbit they can collect energy 24 hours a day, and they collect more energy as the sunlight is not filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the plans, huge satellites would be put into orbit to collect the sunlight with huge solar rays.  Once the energy is collected it would be sent back to receiving stations on earth as microwaves.  On Earth, these microwaves would be converted to electricity and fed into the grid. Due to the huge size of the satellites, the Chinese are proposing to fabricate with 3D printer technology and then assemble in the Earth orbit with robots. Pang Zhihao, a re...

Markets just saw the best earnings season since the financial crisis, and nobody cares

Even mildly pessimistic guidance has investors spooked amid macro headwinds Earnings for S&P 500 companies grew by 25.8% in the third quarter, the strongest performance since the third quarter of 2010, when companies benefited from very attractive, recession-era comparable earnings. Nevertheless, from the start of earnings season to the close of trade Friday, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.22% has fallen 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.49% 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.15% 5.5%. “Third quarter earnings were outstanding both on earnings and revenue growth, the percentage of companies beating expectations, and the magnitude of those beats,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. But the selloff that accompanied these announcements is a testament to the fact that “Wall Street doesn’t care what you’ve done in the past. It’s all about what you’re going to do next quarter,” Arone said. The pairing of r...
