  • Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation
    Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation February,February 20192018 Prepared for Breakthrough Energy Coalitionby by IHS Markit and Energy Futures Initiative Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation, February 2019 1 Foreword We are pleased to submit our report, “Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation.” In this report we describe today’s U.S. ecosystem of clean energy innovation from the perspectives of technological potential, investment patterns, institutional roles, and public policy. The report identifies critical strengths and weaknesses of this ecosystem and offers recommendations for making that ecosystem more effective. It examines the different technology readiness stages through which innovation passes and the importance of feedback among those stages. It also discusses the significant opportunities to accelerate the pace of clean energy innovation that are presented by rapid advances occurring today across a myriad of technologies originating outside the energy sector. We would like to emphasize three observations from our report. • First, the U.S. has shown over many decades an unparalleled capacity to nurture energy innovation. This capacity reflects a rich and durable collaboration among government, universities, research institutions, industry, and entrepreneurs. This collaboration is grounded in the belief that energy innovation contributes importantly to economic growth, energy security, and environmental stewardship. • Second, even with our capacity to innovate, and even with the emergence of innumerable technological opportunities, there are significant challenges in moving forward with clean energy technology. These challenges arise from the sheer size and complexity of existing systems, the degree to which these systems are embedded in our economy, and the high public expectations of safety and reliability they must meet.

  • Dividends from Oil Majors Back to Growth
    Dividends from oil majors back to growth Monday, June 11th 2018 The recovery in the oil price, stronger free cash flow generation and improved balance sheet are expected to boost oil payouts by 7% • After reaching $80/bbl we expect the oil price to stabilize to $75 by end of 2019 • American oil majors to raise their dividends by 5% in the next 3 years • Shell and BP to lag the sector (flat DPS) in the short term due to higher leverage • Short-term boost projected for continental European oil majors (+4%) while we see a bright outlook for Russian oil companies with double digit growth Dividend growth returned to positive territory in FY17 (+6%) after two years of decline in FY15 and FY16, and we expect that trend to continue. We are forecasting an increase of 7% in FY18, followed by growth of 4% in FY19 and FY20. Among the companies we analysed there are disparities; whilst we expect double-digit growth from Rosneft and Lukoil, we think that BP and Shell are likely to lag the sector by paying flat dividends this year. American and continental European oil majors are anticipated to post steady increases (c.5%).
