Natural gas prices expected to rebound by 2025
Although natural gas prices are down 10% so far this year, they are expected to end the year in negative territory, mainly due to a mild winter and oversupply. However, industry experts are optimistic about a rebound in 2025, driven mainly by increased exports and increased demand for AI-driven facilities. Francisco Blanch, head of global commodities and derivatives research at Bank of America, underscored this positive outlook at a recent Energy Outlook Roundtable. Also read: Natural gas glut prompts producers to adjust operations A key driver of this optimism is the expected growth in data center power demand, which analysts say will grow at a rate of 10% to 15% annually through 2030. Natural gas will play a key role as a reliable energy source to support this demand, and is expected to account for 5% of total global electricity demand by 2030.

Electric car batteries may last 40% longer than expected
A new study suggests electric vehicle life cycles may be longer than previously estimated December 10, 2024 21:13 A new study suggests that electric vehicle batteries may last much longer than previously estimated. One of the study's authors said "we're not testing EV batteries in the right way" because they don't take into account real-world driving conditions. Acceleration, braking and downtime all contribute to extending battery life. Battery degradation is a serious problem that can significantly reduce the range of older electric vehicles or require expensive battery replacement. However, a new study from scientists at SLAC-Stanford Battery Center suggests that electric vehicle batteries may last much longer than previously thought. According to Stanford University's summary, the way battery life cycles are typically calculated for electric vehicles is not very good. This is because they assume a fairly constant discharge and charge cycle, which does not happen with vehicles. More: Tesla battery delivers only 64% of EPA range after 3 years,…
