This month’ s magazine is one of contrasts, showcasing both the past and the future. Our feature on Optimal Transit’ s Kraaken vessel explores one of the most futuristic concepts the energy sector has offered up in recent years. What’ s more, as we examine Wales’ s Electric Mountain, you’ ll see how the past is being reimagined and dragged into the future. There are groundbreaking moments aplenty in our story about Cyprus’ s first offshore gas project, while this month’ s Big Picture shows how a century-old operation is being consolidated and improved in the Permian Basin. You’ ll also find:

• Our Top 10 smart grid providers

• A deep dive into the stats behind the hydrogen economy

• The energy story behind Mars’ s global supply chain

Thank you, as always, for reading.
