DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Global Market for Biofuels to 2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


Renewable energy sources can be converted directly into biofuels. There has been a huge growth in the production and usage of biofuels as substitutes for fossil fuels.

Due to the declining reserve of fossil resources as well as environmental concerns, and essential energy security, it is important to develop renewable and sustainable energy and chemicals.

The use of biofuels manufactured from plant-based biomass as feedstock would reduce fossil fuel consumption and consequently the negative impact on the environment.

Renewable energy sources cover a broad raw material base, including cellulosic biomass (fibrous and inedible parts of plants), waste materials, algae, and biogas.

The Global Market for Biofuels covers biobased fuels, bio-diesel, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), biogas, electrofuels (e-fuels), green ammonia based on utilization of:

  • First-Generation Feedstocks (food-based) e.g. Waste oils including used cooking oil, animal fats, and other fatty acids.
  • Second-Generation Feedstocks (non-food based) e.g. Lignocellulosic wastes and residues, Energy crops, Agricultural residues, Forestry residues, Biogenic fraction of municipal and industrial waste.
  • Third-Generation Feedstocks e.g. algal biomass
  • Fourth-Generation Feedstocks e.g. genetically modified (GM) algae and cyanobacteria.

Report contents include:

  • Market trends and drivers.
  • Market challenges.
  • Biofuels costs, now and estimated to 2033.
  • Biofuel consumption to 2033.
  • Market analysis including key players, end use markets, production processes, costs, production capacities, market demand for biofuels, bio-jet fuels, biodiesel, bio-naphtha, biobased alcohol fuels, biofuel from plastic waste & used tires, biofules from carbon capture renewable diesel, biogas, electrofuels, green ammonia and other relevant technologies.

  • Executive Brian Brickhouse joins CEOs for Electrification coalition of business leaders working across industries to advance electrification priorities
  • Alignment with national coalition furthers Eaton’s commitment to sustainability and Home as a Grid approach to the energy transition

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced that it is collaborating with Rewiring America, the leading electrification nonprofit in the U.S., to advance electrification education, awareness and action. Additionally, Brian Brickhouse, president, Americas Region, Electrical Sector, has joined Rewiring America’s CEOs for Electrification, a national coalition of business leaders committed to furthering sustainability through electrification, beginning with the American household. Brickhouse joins the coalition as part of Eaton’s continuing efforts to lead the energy transition through key sustainability initiatives including its Home as a Grid approach, which envisions a future in which homes become both producers and users of energy.



“Electrification is a core tenet in the ongoing drive to reduce dependence on carbon-based energy sources and deliver on the promise of a sustainable future,” said Brickhouse. “From enabling the electrification of homes to helping states and municipalities understand how to leverage federal funding for EV charging infrastructure, Eaton is at the forefront of this movement. I look forward to working with the CEOs for Electrification coalition as we advance this essential element in the energy transition.”

According to the United States Energy Information Administration, home energy use accounted for approximately one-sixth of total U.S. energy consumption as of 2020, unlocking a significant opportunity to reduce overall greenhouse gas emission by converting homes to electric power. The CEOs for Electrification coalition drives action by bringing together CEOs across industries to champion electrification, electrify their operations and accelerate market transformation required to electrify everything. Working together, the coalition aims to create millions of new jobs, improve health outcomes and reduce emissions.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Eaton and have Brian Brickhouse join the CEOs for Electrification coalition,” said Rewiring America Head of Partnerships and Engagement Keishaa Austin. “For over a century, Eaton has demonstrated the kind of business leadership and vision we need today to make the clean energy transition work for everyone. Eaton’s Home as a Grid approach is a brilliant example of how electrifying everything can mean better resiliency, sustainability and comfort. We look forward to working together to make electrification easier for all Americans.”

Eaton’s Home as a Grid approach to the energy transition envisions a future where, through the two-way flow of electricity, homes become both producers and consumers of energy. Through technology innovation, homes can act as energy hubs by producing their own power to help support grid flexibility and stability of electrical power. To learn more about Eaton’s Home as a Grid approach, visit Eaton.com/HomeAsAGrid.

Eaton is an intelligent power management company dedicated to improving the quality of life and protecting the environment for people everywhere. We are guided by our commitment to do business right, to operate sustainably and to help our customers manage power ─ today and well into the future. By capitalizing on the global growth trends of electrification and digitalization, we’re accelerating the planet’s transition to renewable energy, helping to solve the world’s most urgent power management challenges, and doing what’s best for our stakeholders and all of society.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Oil and Gas Instruments Market Opportunity" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


This report evaluates the global analytical instrument market in the oil & gas and other closely related industries, such as environmental testing for refinery waste and utilities/power generation.

In this report, the oil & gas industry is categorized into upstream, midstream, downstream, in which different testing applications are observed. The analytical instrument market in this report includes laboratory benchtop, portable, and process instruments utilized in oil & gas applications. These instruments are categorized into nine different technology groups that contribute to the overall market.

Oil & natural gas are the world's primary fuel sources and play an influential role in the global economy. As a whole, the oil & gas industry remains the largest single source of energy in terms of global consumption. Fossil fuels, including coal, make up more than 80% of the world's energy supply.

These non-renewable fuels provide electricity, heat, transportation and also feed into processes that make products from steel to plastics. Despite efforts to decarbonize and expanding research into alternative fuel sources, even the most optimistic scenarios for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels show oil and gas dominating the energy landscape for many decades.

During the pandemic, oil and gas demand, along with prices, tumbled as countries imposed strict lockdowns to contain the spread of COVID-19. With a successful vaccination rollout, lockdowns were lifted, and demand surged. However, that surge was quickly disrupted by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia resulting in sky rocketing prices.

Furthermore, inflation, geopolitical issues and the threat of an impending recession cast much uncertainty over the oil & gas industry. Amidst the gloomy overcast, the outlook for natural gas is positive even with a tightening market and increasing prices, with the more carbon friendly form of fossil fuel expected to aid in the global effort to reduce greenhouse emissions. In addition, gas accounted for nearly half of the world's growth in energy demand, with most of the increased consumption coming from China and the United States.

Instrumentation is critical to the exploration, development, production, processing, and delivery of oil & gas products, and it also has crucial roles to play in plant and worker safety, as well as the monitoring and testing of fuels. Beyond the realm of energy, oil is also important as an industrial lubricant, and there is significant testing in this aspect of the oil & gas industry as well. As the leading provider of market research on analytical instrumentation, SDi has crafted this report to evaluate and explain what is currently driving growth for instrumentation demand in this important end-market.

Report Overview:

(2) Net income attributable to Chevron Corporation (See Attachment 1)

“We delivered record earnings and cash flow in 2022, while increasing investments and growing U.S. production to a company record,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer. The company’s investments increased by more than 75 percent from 2021, and annual U.S. production increased to 1.2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, led by 16 percent growth in Permian Basin unconventional production.

“Again in 2022, we delivered on our financial priorities: returning cash to shareholders, investing capital efficiently, and paying down debt,” Wirth continued. The company’s other noteworthy financial highlights in 2022 include:

  • Increased quarterly dividend per share by 6 percent from prior year, paying out $11.0 billion to shareholders.
  • Achieved return on capital employed of more than 20 percent, the highest since 2011.
  • Strengthened its industry-leading balance sheet further with debt ratio of 12.8 percent and net debt ratio of 3.3 percent.
  • Returned an additional $11.25 billion to shareholders, repurchasing nearly 70 million shares, ending the year at an annual repurchase rate of $15 billion.

“We’re also investing to grow both traditional and new energy supplies to meet increasing demand for affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy,” Wirth added. The company and its affiliates’ other significant business highlights in 2022 include:

  • Advanced the Future Growth Project in Kazakhstan, with construction largely complete at the company’s 50 percent owned affiliate, Tengizchevroil LLP.
  • Reached final investment decision on major integrated polymer projects in Texas and Qatar at the company’s 50 percent owned affiliate, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC.
  • Approved the Ballymore project in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico with design capacity of 75,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
  • Approved a project to expand the Tamar gas facility in offshore Israel.
  • Commenced a project to increase light crude oil processing capacity by 15 percent at the Pasadena, Texas refinery.
  • Announced a significant new gas discovery at the Nargis block offshore Egypt in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
  • Acquired Renewable Energy Group, Inc., becoming the second largest producer of bio-based diesels in the United States.
  • Formed a joint venture with Bunge North America, Inc. to develop renewable fuel feedstocks.
  • Advanced multiple carbon capture opportunities, including the Bayou Bend carbon storage project in the U.S. Gulf Coast, and received permits to assess carbon storage offshore Australia.

In 2022, Chevron also added 1.1 billion barrels of net oil-equivalent proved reserves. These additions, which are subject to final reviews, equate to approximately 97 percent of net oil equivalent production for the year. The largest net additions were from assets in the Permian Basin, Israel, Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. The largest net reductions were from assets in Kazakhstan, primarily due to higher prices and their negative effect on reserves. The company will provide additional details relating to 2022 reserves in its Annual Report on Form 10-K scheduled to be filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

Earlier this week, the company raised its quarterly dividend per share an additional 6 percent, to $1.51 per share, putting the company on track to increase its annual per share dividend for the 36th straight year. In addition, the company’s board also approved a new $75 billion share repurchase program.

“We are well positioned to lead in both traditional and new energy businesses, while delivering higher returns, lower carbon and superior shareholder value,” Wirth concluded.

UPSTREAM

Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 3.01 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2022 and 3.00 million barrels per day for the full-year 2022. Both quarterly and annual production were down 3 percent compared to their respective 2021 periods. International production decreased 7 percent in 2022 primarily due to the end of concessions in Thailand and Indonesia, while U.S. production increased 4 percent compared to 2021, mainly in the Permian Basin.

U.S. upstream operations earned $2.62 billion in fourth quarter 2022, compared with $2.97 billion a year earlier. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of fourth quarter 2021 asset sale gains, partially offset by higher realizations.

The company’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and natural gas liquids was $66 in fourth quarter 2022, up from $63 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $4.94 per thousand cubic feet in fourth quarter 2022, up from $4.78 in last year’s fourth quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.19 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2022 was down slightly from a year earlier as decreases in the Gulf of Mexico were partially offset by increases in the Permian Basin. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production in fourth quarter 2022 decreased 4 percent to 895,000 barrels per day, and net natural gas production increased 4 percent to 1.79 billion cubic feet per day, compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

International upstream operations earned $2.87 billion in fourth quarter 2022, compared with $2.19 billion a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher realizations, partially offset by write-off and impairment charges, and an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $74 million compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

The average sales price for crude oil and natural gas liquids in fourth quarter 2022 was $78 per barrel, up from $74 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $10.35 per thousand cubic feet in the fourth quarter, up from $7.90 in last year’s fourth quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.82 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2022 was down 82,000 barrels per day from fourth quarter 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of production following expiration of the Erawan concession in Thailand. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 5 percent to 852,000 barrels per day in fourth quarter 2022, while net natural gas production decreased 4 percent to 5.80 billion cubic feet per day compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

U.S. downstream operations reported earnings of $1.18 billion in fourth quarter 2022, compared with earnings of $660 million a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales, partially offset by lower earnings from the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company.

Refinery crude oil input in fourth quarter 2022 increased slightly to 888,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period.

Refined product sales of 1.24 million barrels per day were up 7 percent from the year-ago period, mainly due to higher renewable fuel sales following the Renewable Energy Group, Inc. acquisition and higher jet fuel demand.

International downstream operations reported earnings of $591 million in fourth quarter 2022, compared with $100 million a year earlier.

Refinery crude oil input of 653,000 barrels per day in fourth quarter 2022 increased 8 percent from the year-ago period as refinery runs increased due to higher demand.

Refined product sales of 1.44 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2022 increased 9 percent from the year-ago period, mainly due to higher jet fuel demand as restrictions from the pandemic continue to ease.

Net charges in fourth quarter 2022 were $903 million, compared to $860 million a year earlier. The increase in net charges between periods was mainly due to the absence of fourth quarter 2021 favorable tax items and unfavorable foreign currency effects of $177 million, partially offset by the absence of losses on early retirement of debt in the year-ago period.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS

Cash flow from operations in 2022 was $49.6 billion, compared with $29.2 billion in 2021. Excluding working capital effects, cash flow from operations in 2022 was $47.5 billion, compared with $30.5 billion in 2021.

CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES

Capital and exploratory expenditures for the company’s consolidated entities (C&E) in 2022 were $12.3 billion, compared with $8.6 billion in 2021. Additionally, the company’s share of equity affiliate capital and exploratory expenditures (Affiliate C&E) was $3.4 billion in 2022 and $3.2 billion in 2021 and did not require cash outlays by the company. C&E for 2022 includes $1.3 billion of inorganic spend largely associated with the formation of the Bunge joint venture and acquisition of the remaining interest in Beyond6. The acquisition of Renewable Energy Group, Inc. is not included in the company’s C&E.

NOTICE

Chevron’s discussion of fourth quarter 2022 earnings with security analysts will take place on Friday, January 27, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. PT. A webcast of the meeting will be available in a listen-only mode to individual investors, media, and other interested parties on Chevron’s website at www.chevron.com under the “Investors” section. Prepared remarks for today’s call, additional financial and operating information and other complementary materials will be available prior to the call at approximately 3:30 a.m. PT and located under “Events and Presentations” in the “Investors” section on the Chevron website.

As used in this news release, the term “Chevron” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we,” “us” and “its” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them taken as a whole. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

Please visit Chevron’s website and Investor Relations page at www.chevron.com and www.chevron.com/investors, LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/chevron, Twitter: @Chevron, Facebook: www.facebook.com/chevron, and Instagram: www.instagram.com/chevron, where Chevron often discloses important information about the company, its business, and its results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - This news release includes adjusted earnings/(loss), which reflect earnings or losses excluding significant non-operational items including impairment charges, write-offs, severance costs, gains on asset sales, unusual tax items, effects of pension settlements and curtailments, foreign currency effects and other special items. We believe it is useful for investors to consider this measure in comparing the underlying performance of our business across periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to Chevron Corporation is shown in Attachment 6.

This news release also includes cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding working capital. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net changes in operating working capital, and represents cash generated by operating activities excluding the timing impacts of working capital. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash capital expenditures and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business. Free cash flow excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding working capital less cash capital expenditures and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business excluding the timing impacts of working capital. The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the financial health of the company and its performance over time. A reconciliation of cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding working capital are shown in Attachment 3.

This news release also includes net debt ratio. Net debt ratio is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as a percentage of total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, plus Chevron Corporation stockholders’ equity, which indicates the company’s leverage, net of its cash balances. The company believes this measure is useful to monitor the strength of the company’s balance sheet. A reconciliation of net debt ratio is shown in Attachment 2.

Key Performance Indicators - Capital and exploratory expenditures (“C&E”) is a key performance indicator that provides the Company’s investment level in its consolidated companies. This metric includes additions to fixed asset and investment accounts along with exploration expense for its consolidated companies. Management uses this metric along with Affiliate C&E (as defined below) to manage allocation of capital across the company’s entire portfolio, funding requirements and ultimately shareholder distributions. The calculation of C&E is shown in Attachment 4.

Equity affiliate capital and exploratory expenditures (“Affiliate C&E”) is also a key performance indicator that provides the Company’s share of investments in its significant equity affiliate companies. This metric includes additions to fixed asset and investment accounts along with exploration expense in the equity affiliate companies’ financial statements. Management uses this metric to assess possible funding needs and/or shareholder distribution capacity of the company’s equity affiliate companies. Together with C&E, management also uses Affiliate C&E to manage allocation of capital across the company’s entire portfolio, funding requirements and ultimately shareholder distributions. Affiliate C&E is in Attachment 4.

  • Compact, modular plants would deliver zero-carbon heat for industry as well as flexible clean power
  • Mature technology means first UK unit targeted for 2030
  • Xe-100 reactor to use advanced fuel pioneered in the UK and build on decades of British expertise in high temperature gas-cooled reactors
  • Target of up to 80% of construction and manufacturing to be sourced in the UK

ROCKVILLE, Md. & BRISTOL, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--X-Energy Reactor Company, LLC (“X-energy” or the “Company”), a leading developer of advanced small modular nuclear reactors and fuel technology for clean energy generation, announced that more than 70 British engineering, construction and manufacturing companies this week joined X-energy UK Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of X-energy, and deployment partner Cavendish Nuclear, part of Babcock International group, for a program of presentations and meetings in Bristol, to explore how they can support the roll-out of advanced nuclear power stations in the UK.

The plan is to deliver a fleet of advanced, small modular Xe-100 reactors in the UK to address the challenges of energy security and decarbonization, with the first unit planned for commercial operation in 2030 and a goal to secure up to 80% of its construction and manufacturing from the UK supply chain. The technology is more compact than traditional nuclear plants with factory-built components easily assembled on site, making each one cheaper and quicker to construct, and with a greater range of available locations.

The reactors are designed to be capable of producing both electricity and higher-temperature heat and steam than conventional ‘small modular reactors’ and can supply electricity and heat for hydrogen production and replace fossil fuel-generated heat for industrial processes.

In addition, the spherical fuel ‘pebbles’ that act as containment vessels in themselves, are able to withstand extremely high temperatures and naturally remain stable in the event of any foreseeable disruptions. This intrinsic safety reduces the need for many of the largest, most expensive and time-consuming structures and systems found in traditional nuclear plants.

The Xe-100 can deliver reliable ‘always-on’ electricity as well as increase or decrease power levels safely within minutes to respond to varying demand or supply, making it an ideal complement to weather-dependent renewable energy, and reducing the need for gas-fired power stations or battery storage as a backup.

Carol Tansley, X-energy’s Vice President of UK New Build Projects said: “Until now it’s been widely expected that advanced reactors would not be ready until around 2040 at the earliest, but X-energy’s technology is ready for the market and advanced in its design and applications.

“We’re in discussions with various parties regarding siting options in the UK. The ability to significantly reduce emissions from industrial heat applications makes it a great technology for sites like Hartlepool on Teesside, which is already home to a nuclear power station.

“We’re keen to see the Government press ahead with its ambitious plans for a program of nuclear power stations, including the establishment of the Great British Nuclear body. We believe we can follow hard on the heels of our US program and deliver first power around 2030, supporting the UK’s energy security and environmental goals, in particular the drive to deliver 24GW of new nuclear power by 2050.”

Mick Gornall, Cavendish Nuclear Managing Director said: “We are looking to source components, systems, goods, services and a skilled workforce right here in the UK. We’re delighted to have had such a positive response to our first supplier outreach.”

X-energy and Cavendish Nuclear have applied for funding from the UK Government’s Future Nuclear Enabling Fund to support a Generic Design Assessment and supply chain development activities for the first project.

X-energy is already progressing its US Government-endorsed plans to build a ‘four-pack’ of its Xe-100 reactors in the USA with generation within the decade. It has also begun construction of a fuel fabrication facility for its proprietary advanced TRISO-X fuel in Tennessee. The Company has raised over £1.5bn in US Government funding and private sector investment. Last year X-energy signed framework customer agreements with chemical company Dow in the US and Ontario Power Generation in Canada.

The Xe-100 builds on years of technological progress, evolving from both the UK’s Dragon reactor at Winfrith in Dorset and the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor project in South Africa, which was supported by the UK Government.

Deployable singly or in multiples, each reactor produces around 80 megawatts of electricity or 200 megawatts of the high-quality heat which is seen as essential for ‘deep decarbonization’ of heavy industry.

The reactor is an ideal successor to the British Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor fleet, given the UK’s rich knowledge of gas graphite reactors. It uses tri-structural isotropic particle (TRISO) fuel, first patented in the UK in 1957. The highly-robust fuel pebbles encase uranium inside layers of carbon and ceramic based protection, preventing the release of fission products.

As previously announced on December 6, 2022, X-energy has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Ares Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: AAC), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, which will establish X-energy as a public company. Upon the closing of the transaction, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023, the combined company will be named X-Energy, Inc. and its common equity securities and warrants are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by AAC’s shareholders, the Registration Statement being declared effective by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and other customary closing conditions.
