The REPowerEU Plan aims to fast forward clean energy transition of the European Union and make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030.

Measures related to gas supply security include :

Common purchases of non-Russian gas, LNG and hydrogen via the EU Energy Platform for all Member States who want to participate as well as Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and the Western Balkans

Diversification through new partnerships with reliable suppliers, including future cooperation on renewables and low-emission gases

A legislative proposal on minimum gas storage, with an 80% filling target by 1 November 2022 and to 90% ahead of all following winter periods

Support to coordinated gas refilling operations, for example through joint procurement, collecting orders and matching supplies

Optimize and make more transparent use of the import, storage and transmission gas infrastructure

Diversifying gas supplies and working with international partners to move away from Russian gas, import more LNG and invest in the necessary infrastructure

EU-coordinated demand reduction plans in case of gas supply disruption

A Hydrogen Accelerator to build 17.5 GW by 2025 of electrolysers to fuel EU industry with homegrown production of 10Mt of renewable hydrogen, and an additional 10 Mt of renewable hydrogen imports by 2030, along with the necessary infrastructure, storage facilities and ports

The development of a modern regulatory framework for hydrogen

Doubling the EU ambition for biomethane to produce 35 bcm per year by 2030, in particular from agricultural waste and residues

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
