The Commission adopted the Biomass action plan, designed to increase the use of energy from forestry, agriculture and waste materials. The Plan is meant to promote the use of biomass energy, seen as an energy source with huge potential. The plan announces more than 20 actions, most of them to be implemented from 2006 onwards.

For transport biofuels, they include promotion of "biofuels obligations", through which suppliers include a minimum proportion of biofuels in the conventional fuel they place on the market.

The plan includes reviews of how fuel standards could be improved to encourage the use of biomass for transport, heating and electricity generation; investment in research, in particular in making liquid fuels out of wood and waste materials; and a campaign to inform farmers and forest owners about energy crops.

The Commission will also work on future EU legislation to encourage the use of renewable energy in heating.

The Commission estimates that the measures in the plan will increase the use of biomass to about 150 Mtoe by 2010 (compared with 69 Mtoe in 2003) without increasing the intensity of agriculture or significantly affecting domestic food production. It forecasts that this will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 209 million tons CO2 equivalent per year; provide direct employment for 250-300 000 people; and reduce reliance on imported energy from 48% to 42%.

US Crude Oil Inventories Down Again, Losing 52 Million Barrels in 9 Weeks

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United States fell by 8.33 million barrels in the week ending June 12. Analysts had expected a 4.5 million draw. In the week prior, US crude oil inventories fell by a rather large 9.119 million barrels. Although inventories have been falling rapidly for the last 2+ months, shedding 52 million barrels over the last nine weeks, US crude inventories are only down 1.4 million barrels so far this year, according to API data. Inventories in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve…

Egypt Clears $6 Billion in Energy Debt and Opens Door to a New Gas Boom

The announcement from Egypt’s petroleum and mineral resources minister Karim Badawi that the country has paid all its outstanding debts to foreign oil firms is as welcome to international oil companies and their governments as it is to the country itself. Egypt has become one of the West’s prime targets in the hunt for replacement gas supplies after the loss of Russian flows following the 24 February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Officially, it holds around 93 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven natural gas reserves, but unofficially, it…

AI Power Hunger Sparks Push for Energy Efficiency

The surge of AI and the data center boom have started to pose challenges to the global energy system amid soaring power demand, spiking energy bills, and a higher environmental footprint. As much as AI is changing the world and the economy, it could also offer assistance to one of the energy sector’s most pressing needs in times of rising demand, uncertainty in fossil fuel supply, and inflationary and supply-chain pressures in the renewables industry—energy efficiency. AI could be the tool to help unlock additional energy gains and…

Norway Moves to Extend the Life of Europe’s Most Important Oil Field

Norway is moving ahead with the next phase of development at Johan Sverdrup, a project designed to help maintain production from the oil field that has become one of Europe's most important sources of crude supply. According to Equinor, new discoveries in the Johan Sverdrup area have laid the foundation for Phase 4 of the giant North Sea field. Preliminary estimates indicate resources of around 20 million barrels of oil and approximately 30 million barrels of oil equivalent, with production expected to begin in 2029. The volumes are modest compared…
