In December 2005 the European Commission adopted a Biomass Action Plan designed to increase the use of energy from forestry, agriculture and waste materials. The European Commission is now focusing on transport, which is responsible for around 21% of the EUs harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

A wide range of actions is already being taken. Vehicle manufacturers are developing more fuel efficient engines. Efforts are being made to improve public transport and rationalise the transportation of goods.

In 2003 the Biofuels Directive on the promotion of the use of biofuels and other renewable fuels for transport, set out indicative targets for Member States. To help meet the 2010 target - a 5.75% market share for biofuels in the overall transport fuel supply - the European Commission has adopted an EU Strategy for Biofuels, along seven policy axes:

- Stimulating demand for biofuels

- Capturing environmental benefits

- Developing the production and distribution of biofuels

- Expanding feedstock supplies

- Enhancing trade opportunities

- Supporting developing countries

- Supporting research and development

Follow-up work in 2006 will include a review of the Biofuels Directive, and its possible revision; a proposal for the revision of the Fuel Quality Directive; and a review of the implementation of the energy crop premium introduced by the 2003 CAP reform.

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…
