TROPOMI device located aboard Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, in 2019-2020 detected 1,800 methane emissions exceeding 25 tons per hour. Two-thirds of them were related to the world’s largest oil and gas basins and pipelines.

Power storage using lithium-ion batteries is becoming one of the fundamental tasks of present-day energy branch. This is both due to objective reasons, such as the growing demand for electricity, development of renewable energy sources, transition to electric engines and the expansion of the electricity consumption geography, and to subjective ones, such as the desire for a more comfortable life or the mainstreaming of novel household technologies
Global demand for batteries is going to grow from 580 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2021 to 9 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2030, according to Rystad Energy research. The segment of passenger electric vehicles, where demand will increase from 373 GWh to 4.9 TWh in this period, will come as the growth driver.
Scientists from Kazan Federal University have developed a substance capable of dissolving plugs that form in wells during underwater gas production. According to the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, the development is completely safe for marine fish and animals.
