The ScottMadden Energy Industry Update – August 2014ScottMadden, Inc.
We are pleased to announce our Summer 2014 issue of the ScottMadden Energy Industry Update. This semi-annual publication offers our view of major events and emerging trends in the energy industry.
The energy and utility industries continue to anticipate and react to potential fundamental shifts in the 100+ year-old model of investment, regulation, and earnings. Policy and regulatory changes are big factors driving the design of the new landscape. For many of these changes, significant investment in existing and new infrastructure is needed across all parts of the energy value chain. And by the way, load growth is no longer, so investment and cost recovery are uncertain. Themed “I Feel the Earth Move under My Feet,” this issue surveys a broad array of strategic issues.

The New Role of Renewable Energy Systems In Developing GCC Electricity MarketCSCJournals
Due to the present high oil prices, prices fluctuations and their future upward trend, some investments can be now directed to the utilization of solar and other renewable energy systems, such as hydrogen cells and cyclic hydro systems. It is believed that the infrastructure of these systems is particularly feasible through the already large constructions and investments in real estate industry throughout GCC countries. It is also feasible in rural areas such as farms and small villages due to the relatively low power demand and load characteristics. This can also lead to the disintegration, liberalization and privatization of energy systems. The electric energy and power disintegration of such small corporations would save resources, reduce interactions and increase reliability. This paper focuses on suggested new regulations needed to control the utilization of renewable energy systems in rural areas in order to make benefit of high oil prices. It also focuses on the category and types of renewable energy systems that can be implemented in this project.
"The Age of Gas and the Power of Networks," a new white paper/report from GE, anticipates global natural gas consumption growing by more than a third by 2025, largely due to the diversification and expansion of infrastructure networks that connect supply and demand. "Gas network growth and new supply options like shale gas, coupled with technology innovation, are contributing to creating greater network density, greater flexibility, and improved economics," the report says.

Presentation to Legal Education section, Society of Legal Scholars conference, 2016, St Catherine's College, Oxford, September 2016. Authors: Paul Maharg, Dirk Rodenburg
With overall U.S energy consumption expected to increase 23 percent by 20301 and with growing
requirements for renewable energy, states are seeking to meet new demand with energy sources that are abundant, clean and cost-effective. Wind power
has become a popular clean energy choice due to its price and the distribution of wind resources across the nation. However, with more states requiring an increase in renewable energy production and serious consideration of a national renewable electricity standard growing in Congress, questions have arisen about how much wind power can be integrated into the U.S. energy supply.
After a “perfect storm” of global recession and shale gas
expansion, a new wave of environmental, production, transport, and international demand drivers have the energy market on a bull run. This white paper outlines the driver for longer term energy price increase trends, and discusses steps an organization may take to minimize related risks. - Expertise authored by Ecova, Inc
Sierra Club Petition to Federal Trade Commission re Atlantic Coast Pipeline P...Marcellus Drilling News
A petition filed with the FTC by the Virginia chapter of the odious Sierra Club. The petition asks the FTC to review the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline project (from Dominion), with wild claims that it violates antitrust laws. It's frivolous and meaningless and meant to slow and delay the project. Totally without merit.
A new report just issued by the New England Coalition for Affordable Energy says New England is at a much greater risk for higher energy costs in the short-term because of lack of new pipelines.
CASE STUDY 14-1 Prescriptive and emergent strategies- profits from the.pdfaonetelecompune
CASE STUDY 14.1 Prescriptive and emergent strategies: profits from the sun, wind and sea?
Even from nuclear energy? With the drive towards renewable energy, companies worldwide are
beginning to commercialise the earth's natural resources. But profits are still to emerge in some
cases. And major difficulties remain, as this case explains. Renewable resources are already big
business As national economies develop and become wealthier, they need and consume more
energy in areas such as electric power, transport and food processing. At the same time, the earth
is warming up and becoming more polluted as a consequence of increased energy and greater
consumption of manufactured goods. The outcome is that we need more power. But it needs to
be renewable and it also needs to have low or zero emissions, especially with regard to carbon
by-products. Some national governments are now offering major financial support for low-
carbon and renewable resource applications. Equally. some companies see major profit
opportunities from renewable resources. In 2009 , for example, the UK Carbon Trust produced a
report which estimated that the total global investment in clean energy up to 2008 totalled 2148
billion ( $211 billion). Investment came from venture capital companies, small businesses,
govemment departments and large companies through corporate research and development.
Further growth was certain over the next 20 years, but the precise areas of growth remained
unclear. Expansion depends on which technologies emerge as being the most cost-effective and
also which technologies are most suited to particular countries: for example, some countries have
more sun than others, thus tavouring solar technology. Sources of renewable energy In terms of
their contribution to total energy around the world, renewables accounted for around 20 per cent
of total energy consumption in 2008 - see Eigure 14. 2. Fossil fuels were still the largest source
in 2008 , accounting for 78 per cent of total use. However, virtually every government around
the worid was comvinced that this source needed to be radically reduced by 2050 . In essence,
the problem with all allemative forms of energy at the present time is that the costs of production
are higher than those for fossil fuel. There are two implications: - Fossil fuels will continue to be
the main source of energy until the costs of alternatives are reduced, for example by further
advances in technology. The other possibility is that the cost of fossil fuel is raised, for example
by extra government taxes on such fuel or by external factors such as war. Figure 14.2 Estimated

Renewable energy is generally electricity supplied from sources, such as wind power, solar power,
geothermal energy, hydro power and various forms of biomass. The popularity of renewable energy
has experienced a significant upsurge in recent times due to the exhaustion of conventional power
generation methods and increasing realization of its adverse effects on the environment. Wind energy
has been harnessed for centuries but it has only emerged as a major part of our energy solution quite
recently and this report focus on utilizing wind energy by using vertical axis wind turbine.

Executive summary for Last Chance Saloon for CSP (Concentrated Solar Power)Simon Thompson
This is the executive summary for "Last Chance Saloon for Gen 3 CSP" which is a report and forecast from Rethink Energy.
It’s about the global Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) business which, although small compared to photovoltaic or wind power, will be a $10 billion global industry by 2030. How so?
Previous CSP marquee projects such as the “tower power” plants of the Mojave Desert have proved to be expensive and R&D-hungry. Although impressive, they’ve tarnished the sector and in recent years investment has gone elsewhere.
It means that CSP has effectively lain moribund for a decade.
But in recent years a new wave of technology-driven CSP companies have brought a swathe of minor innovations, improvements on efficiency and cheaper equipment to the market.
CSP can now provide temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius, enabling the technology to play a role in the decarbonization of the cement, steelmaking, and mining industries. And in China there are plans to use CSP on the power grid as “peak-shaving” energy storage.
Does this mean that this 3rd generation of CSP activity will lead to profitable returns? What are the new technologies and who are the players? And what will be the impact of the global demand for hydrogen on CSP?
The answer to these questions and more can be found in Last Chance Saloon for Gen 3 CSP in this 30-page report, illustrated with graphs and accompanied by an Excel spreadsheet with projections.

CTRM - The Next Generation - ComTechAdvisory Vendor Technical UpdateCTRM Center
There is no doubt that technology has undergone a sea-change over the last decade or so potentially making it possible to build and deploy software faster and more cost-effectively while offering a host of features that help users to work smarter, faster and with less opportunity for error. Additionally, the way that applications are designed and built has also changed to take better advantage of these technologies. While arguably there is no single technology that facilitates a paradigm shift in Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) software, when you combine advances in all areas of solution development and deployment technology, then such a leap forward is both likely and desirable.
Nowhere is the gap between the possibilities offered by these leaps in technology and what is available as commercial solutions more apparent than in the commodity trading and risk management software category. There are many aging, legacy, solutions still being utilized, marketed, and deployed and yet, this is an industry that is experiencing unprecedented demands and change, which in turn, are placing increasing demands on the software it utilizes. What most commodity firms are seeking is more agile software platforms that can allow them to adapt and evolve through these changes. This growing demand is also accentuated by the younger, more tech-savvy people entering the business whose expectations are not being met by many existing solutions.
Managing Supply Chain Complexity and ExposuresCTRM Center
The supply chains for bulk commodities, including agricultural, metals/ores and some energies, are complex – usually necessitating transportation and storage using trucks, trains, ships, barges, pipelines, and terminals/storage facilities. These movements, and the assets utilized to make them, introduce and accumulate both cost and risk to the commodities owners with each step in the chain.
Additionally, as these commodities transit the supply chain, they may undergo changes that will impact their value, both as traded commodities and as a stock or inventory. These events can include transformations to finished products (such as refining crude oil into numerous petroleum products or grains milled into flour) and repackaging from bulk loads into smaller containers such as bags for wholesale or retail sales.
Global Sugar - A Complex Market that Requires a Fit for Purpose CTRM SolutionCTRM Center
Sugar is a global commodity, with almost 180 million metric tons being produced in more than 120 countries each year. Though much of the sugar produced by these countries is consumed locally in food products or, increasingly, for ethanol production, the largest producing countries are often exporters as well and in total contribute 60-70 million metric tons delivered into the global market each year.
Putting Data at the Heart of Energy TradingCTRM Center
In a digital world, data is King, and while energy and commodities have been going through a period of digitalizing for the last several years, there can be no doubt that coming up with data management strategies has also played an important, if not critical, role in those strategies as well. Indeed, this was strongly emphasized in Commodity Technology Advisory’s disruptive technologies research over the last few years, where more than half of all of those questioned in the industry.
US Dairy Markets – Digitalizing to address complexity and volatilityCTRM Center
US dairy markets are one of, if not the most, unique and complex commodity markets. Dairy production has unique physical characteristics not found in any other agricultural commodities, including continuous production, rapidly spoiling milk inventories, and multiple derivative products with a varying ability to store over time (i.e., fresh milk vs. cheese products).
Diversifying Into Renewable Energy: Challenges And OpportunitiesCTRM Center
The energy transition is the move away from fossil fuels towards renewable and sustainable forms of production and generation, in combination with increasing decarbonization (net zero) and electrification. The motivations behind the energy transition are primarily political, environmental, and increasingly, financial. Mostly, it is driven by Governments and international bodies (like the EU, which also sees renewables to increase its’ energy independence) through goal setting, provision of incentives, and legislation such as the US’s Inflation Reduction Act.
The push for decarbonization and ESG is also now being championed by large banks and financial institutions like Barclays Bank, who recently announced that it had tightened its financing rules and abandoned financing for oil exploration altogether. Over the last 12-months or so, geopolitics has played an ever-greater role in shaping the energy industry and the energy transition, as the fall-out from the Russia-Ukraine war has interfered with the energy transition agenda, resulting in soaring power and natural gas prices. This has wrought havoc with consumers and suppliers alike and stalled, or temporarily reversed, certain net zero initiatives, and encouraged the specter of market intervention.
The integration of trade and risk management solutions with the corporate accounting solution has long been an area of focus for commodity companies and software vendors alike. There are many apocryphal stories in the industry regarding trading profits that entitled trader’s to be paid large bonuses. Those trading profits then seem to evaporate when accounted for in the enterprise accounting system. These stories are symptomatic of a broader but important issue – that of integrating two sets of solutions to provide timely and accurate auditable results. Over the last three decades, many different approaches have been tried out and mooted to address and solve the problems. This paper will examine the problem and discuss potential solutions including highlighting the approach taken by Enuit.
How can your ETRM / CTRM solution help with creditCTRM Center
Current market conditions are forcing many firms exposed to commodities to perform a re-evaluation of their credit risk systems and business processes. As most commodity prices are extremely volatile and progressively rising through time due to issues like shortages, supply chain disruptions of various types including most importantly, political sanctions, increased demand and so on, default by a counterparty is seen as increasingly likely. Indeed, were it not for Government intervention, a few high-profile firms would already have defaulted. However, the need to manage cash more effectively is also driving an enhanced focus on credit risk as many commodity firms face huge margin calls from various exchanges and increased scrutiny by lenders. Importantly, the rapid emergence of regulations around ESG and carbon, whether planned or actual, are also having a huge impact on counterparty credit worthiness. As firms review their credit solutions, they are scrutinizing their ETRM / CTRM solutions and their role in managing credit risk as well.
In an era that is likely to be dominated by the energy transition, metals are set to become the new foundation of modern society. As more of everything is powered by clean electricity, demand for metals will pick up with everything from greater quantities of base metals needed to make batteries to store it all the way through to copper for the cables to carry it.
Other metals like iron in the form of steel, along with rare earth elements and speciality metals, will all also be needed in ever greater quantities to support electrification and construction. Metals like Lithium, Cobalt, Manganese, Zinc, Mercury, Silver, Cadmium are the key components of many types of battery along with Graphite in some instance.
RPS and RECs – Managing an Increasing Regulatory BurdenCTRM Center
Renewable energy certificates or ‘RECs’ have become the currency of the renewable power industry, allowing power providers to expand their product offerings and offer ‘green’ power irrespective of whether or not they can physically generate it. RECs also assure consumers who opt to buy renewable power, that that power has either come directly from a renewable generator, or if a renewable generator is not servicing their facility, that it is offset in the market by power from a renewable source, such as wind, solar or hydro, in another geographic area.
Global Renewables Transition Requires Dedicated ETRM CapabilitiesCTRM Center
Renewable energy resource development is accelerating around the globe as the push to reduce carbon emissions continues to gain momentum.
As the pace of renewable energy expansion quickens, market participants will continue to adjust to the commercial and financial implications as well as production variability and intermittency, reliability, and grid stability. In this white paper we will explore the changing nature of power markets, the complexities that will challenge utilities, power off-takers and traders, and the critical ETRM systems they rely on to ensure profitability.
Global LNG Navigating Risks in a Dynamic MarketCTRM Center
Liquified natural gas (LNG) has been a traded commodity for more than a century. But only in the last couple of decades has the market expanded to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy, through low carbon emissions energy sources. With the development of the massive Qatar LNG facilities in the mid-1990s and the increasing demand for imported gas, global LNG trading has grown from about 50 MTPA in 1990 to more than 350 MTPA in 2020.
Most energy commodities struggled with lower trade and consumption volumes under the pandemic-induced industrial shutdowns in 2020. LNG trade was, however, up slightly at 0.4% during the year, continuing its uninterrupted streak of year-over-year growth since 1996. However, that growth was far below rates in the preceding years which averaged 7% since 2004.
Disruptive Technologies – A 2021 UpdateCTRM Center
In 2021, Commodity Technology Advisory LLC (ComTech) published its first Disruptive Technologies research report (that version kindly sponsored by FIS). Technologies covered in the study scope included cloud/SaaS, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), big data, automation and blockchain, amongst others. The findings were supported by an industry survey that led to the broad conclusions that cloud/SaaS and data management initiatives were in flight. AI, ML and automation seemed to be prepping for an explosion of use while blockchain was overhyped and lagging. Over the last couple of years, our general market observations as analysts have largely confirmed the results of the research.
In all of its forms, risk management is rapidly growing in importance within the commodity asset class. It will only become even more critical and complex in the future. Driven by unprecedented levels of change in the industry ranging from geopolitics to carbon, effective risk management is shifting for many commodity firms from just another activity to be managed to a critical component of business strategy that helps drive and inform brand, gain financing and trust, and demonstrates proper controls.
Over the years, there has been a growing realization that building a commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) solution is not a trivial task. Indeed, quite the opposite. It is a hugely complex piece of software that can never seem to meet all the varied needs of all the different types of companies buying and selling commodities around the globe.
Reimagining Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) With Advanced Delivery ...CTRM Center
ETRM systems are, by their nature, complex software products as the software must mirror the full complexity of the commodities industries, markets, and assets that they serve. Spanning from contract administration through invoicing and settlement, the business processes involved in commodity trading varies greatly. This variation is created by the unique combinations and nature of the physical or financial commodity or commodities traded, as well as by the industry segment (power generation/trading, gas production/trading, agricultural production/trading, etc.), the assets employed in the supply chain(s) and geographic differences (North American power vs. European vs. Japan, for example).
Risk and Compliance – Lessons learned and looking beyond the COVID-19 EraCTRM Center
While it is commonly believed that the pandemic was a black swan event, according to most risk experts it wasn’t. As they point out, the COVID Pandemic was an event that was foreseeable in its occurrence, though perhaps not in its timing. Despite being (thankfully) rare, these types of events do occur and bring with them an increased awareness of the importance of proper and holistic risk management practices, not only as it applies to external risks (as the pandemic was), but also commercial and internal risks as well.
2021 Trends in Agricultural and Soft Commodities TradingCTRM Center
Arguably, all commodity and commodity-exposed businesses are facing unprecedented change and disruption. These numerous challenges range from climate and carbon to COVID lockdowns and work from home, to managing geopolitical and operational risks through supply chains while seeking to digitalise, automate and increase efficiencies across the business.
While talk of a new commodities supercycle may be premature, global population growth and the resulting increased demand suggest rising prices and volatilities, especially in agricultural commodities. Companies need enhanced agility in such markets. It starts with a modern software platform that provides adequate visibility and control over the business, from managing physical movements to limiting risks and exposure.
Achieving Digitalization in a Document Intensive Energy MarketCTRM Center
As energy companies seek to become more efficient and agile in a rapidly changing marketplace fraught with risks, digitalization - the process of evolving from manual or analog processes to more efficient and cost effective digital processes by reducing the number of times data is touched and ensuring greater accuracy and more rapid movement of data and information throughout the enterprise – continues to attract attention from CIOs across the energy value chain.
The global market for CTRM (Commodity Trading and Risk Management) software solutions that cater specifically for metals and ores trading and risk management is the third largest among the major commodity groupings of energy, ags & softs, and metals, at an estimated $174m in expenditures in 2019 according to ComTech’s most recent market sizing report. It is also among the most complex of these markets in terms of its functional requirements, especially in areas like concentrates and ores. Complexity is also found throughout the supply chain. Perhaps these are just some of the reasons why the metals market for CTRM and CM (Commodity Management) software have been underserved by commercially available solutions in the past.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.
- Accepted in ASPLOS ‘17, Xi’an, China.
- Featured in the tutorial, Systemized Program Analyses: A Big Data Perspective on Static Analysis Scalability, ASPLOS ‘17.
- Invited for presentation at SoCal PLS ‘16.
- Invited for poster presentation at PLDI SRC ‘16.

Launch Your Streaming Platforms in MinutesRoshan Dwivedi
The claim of launching a streaming platform in minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are services that can significantly streamline the process. Here's a breakdown:
Pros of Speedy Streaming Platform Launch Services:
No coding required: These services often use drag-and-drop interfaces or pre-built templates, eliminating the need for programming knowledge.
Faster setup: Compared to building from scratch, these platforms can get you up and running much quicker.
All-in-one solutions: Many services offer features like content management systems (CMS), video players, and monetization tools, reducing the need for multiple integrations.
Things to Consider:
Limited customization: These platforms may offer less flexibility in design and functionality compared to custom-built solutions.
Scalability: As your audience grows, you might need to upgrade to a more robust platform or encounter limitations with the "quick launch" option.
Features: Carefully evaluate which features are included and if they meet your specific needs (e.g., live streaming, subscription options).
Examples of Services for Launching Streaming Platforms:
Muvi [muvi com]
Uscreen [usencreen tv]
Alternatives to Consider:
Existing Streaming platforms: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch might be suitable for basic streaming needs, though monetization options might be limited.
Custom Development: While more time-consuming, custom development offers the most control and flexibility for your platform.
Overall, launching a streaming platform in minutes might not be entirely realistic, but these services can significantly speed up the process compared to building from scratch. Carefully consider your needs and budget when choosing the best option for you.
