U.S. Primary Energy Production, Consumption, and Exports Increased in 2024
The United States continued to produce more energy than it consumed in 2024. This surplus energy production helped energy exports grow to a record high 30.9 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2024, up 4% from 2023. Energy imports stayed flat at 21.7 quads in 2024, meaning the United States exported 9.3 quads more … [continued]

CO₂ By Sea: The Risky Bet Beneath Europe’s Biggest Carbon Storage Project
Northern Lights is Europe’s most ambitious carbon capture and storage project, and possibly the most operationally serious one in the world. It deserves credit for getting past the pilot stage, for designing an end-to-end storage system with real injection capacity, and for contracting with emitters in four different countries. But … [continued]
