Europe’s Biogas Plants Could Become Fertilizer Factories

The fertilizer crisis is usually framed as a natural gas problem. When gas prices rise, ammonia costs rise, fertilizer plants reduce production, and farmers become exposed to a global commodity chain they cannot control. That diagnosis is correct but incomplete. Across Europe, thousands of anaerobic digesters are already producing a methane-rich gas close to the farms and food industries that consume fertilizer. Most sites burn it in a combined heat and power unit, upgrade it to biomethane, or flare a small surplus. Very few ask a more disruptive…

The Biggest Victims Of Trump’s Economic D-Day On Iran

Trump’s “economic D-Day” against Iran is built around one of Washington’s most powerful weapons: access to the U.S. financial system. The problem is that the deeper Washington pushes into Iran’s remaining trade, the bigger the targets become. China buys more than 80% of Iran’s seaborne crude. Iraq relies on Iranian gas for as much as 40% of its electricity generation. Turkey imported 4.5 bcm of Iranian gas in the first half of this year, while India still maintains a heavily one-sided trade relationship with…

Venezuela’s Oil Revival Is Slower Than the U.S. Hoped

More than half a year after the U.S. captured and extracted Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela, the biggest American oil firms haven’t returned to operating oilfields in the world’s largest oil reserves holder. Chevron, which has operated in Venezuela throughout Maduro’s reign, is extracting and exporting oil to the U.S., but neither ExxonMobil nor ConocoPhillips have returned as negotiations led by Venezuela’s state oil firm PDVSA are not progressing as fast as the U.S. Administration probably thought in January when it extracted…

U.S. Leaves Europe Behind in Critical Minerals Race

The United States is forging ahead with its critical minerals ambitions, investing billions in securing non-Chinese supply, while in Europe, the central EU government “hesitate, over-administrate, talk and lose time.” The EU was already behind the U.S. on critical minerals. Now, it has fallen further behind, which means a lot more work would need to be done to catch up. The quote above comes from the head of a Europe-wide organization representing critical minerals companies. Bernd Schaefer spoke to the Financial Times this month, lamenting…
