This month, a rebound in Chinese crude oil imports is set to push overall Asian crude arrivals higher compared to October and September, according to data compiled by LSEG Oil Research cited by Reuters columnist Clyde Russell. But the tracked import data for the first 11 months of the year showed that Asian crude oil imports are on course to…

Earlier in the year, energy analytics firm Wood Mackenzie predicted that a second Trump presidency could place a huge part of renewable energy investments at risk, increase carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes more by 2050 and delay peak fossil fuel demand by 10 years beyond current forecasts. Not surprisingly, WoodMac expects the fossil fuel sector to benefit from Trump: the analysts have predicted that less spending on low carbon energy could boost demand for natural gas by 6% or 6B cf/day by 2030. And now commodity analysts at Standard Chartered…

The 29th Conference of the Parties for Climate Change, commonly known as COP29, ended with outrage and dismay—emotions demonstrated by developing nations after developed ones agreed to raise annual climate finance but nowhere near what was asked for. But there was outrage among climate activists, too. Because, once again, the world refused to commit to a phaseout of hydrocarbons. Apparently, it’s Saudi Arabia’s fault. “The Arab Group will not accept any text that targets specific sectors, including fossil fuels,” Saudi…

Azerbaijan endured lots of criticism during COP29. Environmentalists accused the host nation of trying to use COP29 as a “greenwashing” exercise, while European officials condemned President Ilham Aliyev for making provocative statements during the gathering, accusing him of undermining efforts to contain global warming. The barrage of criticism obscures an important aspect of Azerbaijan’s environmental record. Aliyev’s government is not a recalcitrant actor when it comes to climate action, nor is it solely preoccupied with…

The automotive industry “urgently” needs government-backed incentives to improve customer uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) or the UK faces missing its net zero targets, the boss of Ford UK has said. Speaking the morning after the government announced a consultation into its EVs sales targets for automakers, Lisa Brankin said the move was welcome but that it needed to be carried out quickly. “The first thing I would say is that the government has listened,” she told the BBC’s Today programme. “We have been talking…

Almost five years ago we predicted that electricity sales would start to grow again and that utility capital expenditures would soar. And we said that the industry was not spending enough. Apart from patting ourselves on the back, here are the latest numbers confirming our long-held view. Figure 1 shows the five-year spending of investor-owned utilities (IOUs) on electric plants in current dollars. Note how the numbers peaked in the early eighties, fell off, and finally picked up in this century. More meaningfully, Figure 2 shows the five-year…
