HVO as Road Fuel – Markets and Sustainability

16 Dec 2024
HVO (“Renewable Diesel”) from plant or animal-based residual and waste materials is considered, alongside e-fuels, to be the most attractive fuel option for combustion engines in cars and trucks. We take the results from two new reports and show: the growth opportunities remain limited; the climate savings are greatly exaggerated; and fraudulent, large-scale imports of UCO and animal fats cannot be contained with the current EU certification system..… more

Crude oil prices likely to remain low in 2025

2 Dec 2024
In 2025, low-carbon fuels will have to deal with fierce price competition from fossil fuels. The current situation on the global crude oil market points to a growing oil supply with only…more


CCS – Can we simply bury our CO2 problem?

2 Dec 2024
The report provides a detailed and, in my opinion, clear and jargon-free presentation of the most important active CCS projects to date (Sleipner, Snøhvit, Gorgon et al.). They demonstrate how difficult, unplannable and individual each CCS project is….more

About us / General


EnergyComment is a consultancy office based in Hamburg 🇩🇪 since 2008. Founding director is Dr Steffen Bukold (more).

We focus on interdisciplinary and international research & analysis in the fields of oil, gas and hydrogen, often in the context of climate policies. Clients: primarily NGOs and companies from the energy & financial sectors. Working languages: German 🇩🇪 and English 🇬🇧.

Our current priority is the transition of transport fuels (air, sea, road) from fossil oil and LNG to low-carbon solutions, including biofuels, e-fuels and electromobility.

This includes cross-sector approaches and broader issues such as CCS, methane emissions and efficiency measures.
