A high-seas oil tango is back on between Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA and India’s Reliance Industries, rekindling a swap arrangement paused by U.S. sanctions. This revival, greenlit by a U.S. license in July, signals a cautious step forward for both players. But onlookers shouldn't break out the champagne just yet. Earlier this month, a supertanker brimming with 1.9 million barrels of Venezuela’s Merey heavy crude set sail for India’s Sikka port. In return, Reliance delivered 500,000 barrels of heavy naphtha to PDVSA—a…

The purpose is to reduce fuel use by 6% and cut annual carbon emissions by 3,000 tons.  Bloomberg reported that the shipping industry already faces regulatory pressure to reduce emissions. Rotor sails remain uncommon, and the adoption of wind technologies hinges on cost savings. Their appeal may grow as…

Trump is expected to undo a lot of the climate policies of President Biden, and the Paris Agreement and many current policies to cut emissions are…

Despite sitting atop the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, energy shortages have become a feature of winters in Iran. Iran grapples with air pollution all year, but air quality significantly worsens during winter when power plants are forced to burn low-quality heavy fuel oil -- mazut -- to compensate for the lack of gas. A rare cold snap in recent weeks has exposed the extent of Iran's struggles to meet the rising demand for gas, with school classes forced to go online and government offices ordered shut to conserve energy. Highlighting…
