Norwegian offshore oil production significantly exceeded expectations in April, with total liquids output climbing to 2.158 million barrels per day — 6.7% above official forecasts — as Europe grows increasingly dependent on a stable North Sea energy supply in an increasingly fragile global market. Fresh production data from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate also showed total liquids production rose by 16,000 barrels per day from March levels and surged 129,000 barrels per day above April 2025 production. The April liquids stream consisted…

The challenge of solar-powered energy has always been the means to store it. And the intermittency of solar and wind energy makes that storage capability essential. Energy from the sun and wind can only be created — and stored — when the sun shines or the wind blows. But that technological gap may be closing thanks to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who have created a “rechargeable solar battery” that stores sunlight in molecules and later releases enough heat to boil water. The scientists started…

The escalation of conflict across the Middle East and the disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz have introduced a variable into the maritime energy transition that regulatory frameworks were never designed to handle: the possibility that conventional marine fuel becomes unavailable because competing domestic priorities absorb the available supply. This changes the analytical framing for clean shipping in a big way, just as Norway introduced its new GHG-reduction rule. Steeper decline than FuelEU Maritime, similar architecture…

The EIA’s data release follows API’s figures that were released a day earlier, which reported that crude oil inventories saw a draw of 9.1 million barrels in the period.…

As a result of spiking fuel prices and concerns about jet fuel supply shortages, the UK government has waived sanctions on imports of diesel and jet fuel processed from Russia-origin crude in third countries. The easing of a small part of the UK’s strict sanctions and bans on Russian crude and oil product imports is to protect supply security, the Labour government argues. But the Conservatives slammed the decision as “insane” and a sign that the sanctions are being undermined by domestic political agenda. This “small and…
