The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is an interagency committee lead by the US Treasury that screens and approves certain foreign investments in the US. The CFIUS may conduct an investigation into proposed foreign investments and order divestment, if the investment is found to be contrary to US "national security" interests.

Initially established in 1975, the CFIUS was further expanded recently in 2018 in response to concerns around foreign investment into critical industries and infrastructure. An additional executive order (Executive Order 14083) was signed that provided further guidance on the implementation of the CFIUS' responsibilities; without changing the scope of or authority granted to the CFIUS.

Notification to the CFIUS is voluntary for a majority of foreign investments. However, the CFIUS may conduct a review regardless of whether such notification was made, and notification is mandatory for certain investments, including the acquisition of 25% of more of voting shares in a US business engaged in technology, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data (TID) business operations. Critical infrastructure includes electric grid equipment and operations.

Executive Order 14083 further clarified that the CFIUS should review the impact of any proposed investment on the technological leadership of the US in a number of fields, including microelectronics, advanced clean energy, and climate adaptation technologies.

Global Oil Security Looks Shakier as Conflicts Hit 45 Million Bpd of Supply

Almost half of the world’s oil supply is produced in regions currently engaged in hot conflicts, Reuters reported this week. The situation raises questions about long-term oil supply security and the limits to diversification. The Middle East, of course, is the most obvious and most disruptive example. While oil prices on speculative markets have remained capped by trader optimism, the physical supply of the vital energy commodity has been severely compromised, leading to rationing and emergency releases from storage across the world. Meanwhile,…

MIT Uses AI to Challenge a Century-Old Process for Mass Ammonia Production

Ammonia production consumes as much as 2% of the world's energy and generates roughly 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely because the industry still relies on a century-old process powered by fossil fuels. Roughly 80% of the 200 million metric tons of ammonia produced globally every year goes into nitrogen fertilizers, with the rest used in plastics, textiles, explosives and other industrial chemicals. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now developed a new method that uses AI and quantum-mechanical…

Equinor Targets 27% International Production Growth by 2030

Alongside boosting exploration and production offshore its home market Norway, Equinor is pursuing an international growth strategy, aiming to significantly increase its overseas oil and gas output by focusing on fewer but more lucrative regions such as the U.S., Brazil, and Angola.

Octopus Boss Warns UK Is Too Exposed to Global Gas Prices

Octopus boss Greg Jackson has called on Andy Burnham to deliver “urgent reform” to the energy market to protect households from “volatile” gas prices. Jackson, founder of the UK’s biggest household electricity supplier, said: “The government’s decision to take VAT off electricity and remove some of the levies from bills has helped soften the blow this winter, but bills are still too high. “Britain remains far too exposed to volatile global gas prices. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have created an unprecedented…
