For many years now, humanity has depended on fossil fuels as sources of energy, causing the tremendous rise of greenhouse gases released by burning fuels such as coal and oil.
On the other hand, renewable energy has been recognized as one of the fundamental elements to stop the effects of global warming. The movement of wind and water, heat and sunlight, plant carbohydrates and the Earth’s heat are power sources that have the potential to meet the world’s energy needs and slow the rise in global temperatures, offering a truly sustainable alternative.
In 1988, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that several greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming and that among the major contributors were natural gas and oil industries. All of this has led to increased pressure on fossil fuel companies, and regulation in the industry is becoming more stringent.Without a doubt, this has been one of the factors that have led to the revival of renewable energy for electricity generation in the industry. However, despite the increase of sustainability measures made in the sector due to growing global pressure, there is still a question, which in addition to being valid, has a concerning answer: Are we really close to the transition to renewable energy sources?”
The truth is that in a broad sense, the industry remains dependent on fossil fuels to a great extent. According to BP’s 2018 World Energy Outlook, oil and gas supply about 53 percent of the world’s energy needs, especially in the transportation, chemical, and manufacturing sectors, with a demand for oil and gas that continue to rise.
Therefore countries, institutions, and companies must set clear goals and objectives to meet the world’s energy demands in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way. Future generations and the world depend on the ability of the sector to make decisions and implement strategies that can diminish its activity’s impact.
One of the ways to move the oil and gas industry from being part of the sustainability problem to being part of the solution is through technology. At Nakasawa Resources, we work tirelessly to help companies in the sector become part of the solution, and we are committed to the sustainability of improved recovery processes by seeking a constant balance with the environment. We have different technologies that allow us to optimize recovery, extend the deposit’s life cycle, and minimize the environmental impact, making projects more profitable in a socially responsible way.
