Biden has proposed a transition away from oil. To move that forward, legislative cooperation and consumer acceptance would be needed. Read analysis here: https://t.co/kuEg9ZSpFb @energyintel

How might carbon capture become competitive? Total CEO says this: scale, including lots of customers, and convincing governments to offer fiscal incentives (like they did with renewables). Carbon pricing would also give it a boost. #EIForum

China’s carbon neutrality 2060 goal makes it important to observe in the coming years, says Total CEO. Could be competition between coal+CCS and natural gas. #EIForum

When it comes to oil companies branching out into renewables, experience is important. Total CEO says company has “more competencies … we are more able to appraise” since its SunPower move years ago. Was tricky to determine level of profitability to expect. #EIForum

#ICYMI @editorcraft rounds up the takeaways from the transportation panel discussion earlier today #EIForum #TheBigEnergyReset

[Lauren Craft @editorcraft]

People are growing critical of “all of the above” energy approach but remains important, says Chevron’s Mike Wirth. Room for all technologies. “Energy development is a force for good,” enabling education, healthcare – “things we in the developed world take for granted.” @EI_Forum

China 2060 carbon neutrality goal “sending very clear signal undoubtedly pushing the transition,” says H.E. Liu Xiaoming, Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom @EI_Forum @energyintel

Saudi Aramco's Amin Nasser emphasizes blue hydrogen @EI_Forum. Some definitions:
Blue hydrogen - produced from natural gas using CCS
Gray hydrogen - produced from natgas w/steam methane reforming (traditional method)
Green hydrogen - produced from water w/ renewables/electrolyzer

[Lauren Craft @editorcraft]

Saudi Aramco’s Amin Nasser “confident we will find a solution” for CO2 through CCS. Lowering cost key: “Either you reduce the cost for processing and sequestering, or the other way, you identify a valuable utilization for the CO2.” @energyintel @EI_Forum

[Lauren Craft @editorcraft]

Saudi Aramco’s Amin Nasser at Energy Intelligence Forum: Engagement with both stakeholders and shareholders key. Talking to communities is important. “Growing acceptance” of this. Aramco IPO brought added transparency. @energyintel @EI_Forum

[Lauren Craft @editorcraft]

Saudi Aramco's Amin Nasser at Energy Intelligence Forum: “The worst is definitely behind us” in oil demand losses. “Big pickup” in China, India, w/ exception of jet fuel. Speed of recovery ahead depends if a second wave of infections + presence of vaccines. @energyintel @EI_Forum

It's not real helpful to point out a problem without offering a solution, is it? Our new vulnerability index shows all oil majors, even progressive ones, have more work to do to ready themselves for the energy transition. So what can be done? https://t.co/DNPAtRpJar @energyintel
