The Future of Oil & Gas:
Exploring New Innovation in Old-Fashioned Energy
While renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biofuels experience unprecedented levels of growth and attention, projections confirm that fossil fuels such as oil and gas will continue to make up large parts of our energy mix for quite some time to come. With that in mind, it's important to ask: What significant innovations, if any, are taking place within oil & gas to tackle energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, or otherwise improve the impact of those fuels? What more needs to be done?
