🚨 The World’s LNG Map Is More Fragile Than You Think Most people think LNG supply is diversified It’s not. A handful of terminals control the global gas flow, and if just one goes down, prices don’t just move… they explode. 🌍 Largest LNG Export Terminals (MTPA): - Qatar 🇶🇦 Ras Laffan 77+ (Qatargas 42, included above) - Australia 🇦🇺 North West Shelf 16.9 Gorgon 15.6 Wheatstone 8.9 - United States 🇺🇸 Sabine Pass 30 Corpus Christi 15 Freeport 15 Asia 🇲🇾 🇮🇩 Bintulu 29 Bontang 22.5 Rest of World 🌍 Arzew (Algeria) 25 Bonny Island (Nigeria) 22 Yamal LNG (Russia) 17.4 Idku (Egypt) 7.2 Das Island (UAE) 6

Iran says it will retaliate across the Middle East and "irreversibly" destroy critical infrastructure if President Trump carries out a threat to "obliterate" Iran's power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully open within 48 hours. Follow live updates. cnn.it/4uAY4R0

The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.

Oil prices to rise further on Monday as Mideast war escalates reut.rs/4lN9Yn5 reut.rs/4lN9Yn5

It's hard to grasp the pace of the solar and wind build-out: It took 22 years this century to install the first two terawatts of solar and wind capacity ...then it took just THREE years to build the next two! Totals matter short term. Long-term, scaling speed matters more.

Batteries are a game-changer for grids and electric vehicles. With prices permanently below $100 per megawatt-hour they're now competing with oil and gas, writes Bloomberg's @davidfickling bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@JavierBlas Let me translate We will level Ras Laffan & the upstream platforms that feed it. Qataris are facing stark reality that buying protection goes only so far. They are facing a future where their only source of income from LNG production sits in Sabine Pass, TX. @ColumbiaUEnergy

Iran responds to Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum: “… the critical infrastructure, energy infrastructure, and oil facilities throughout the region will be considered legitimate targets and will be destroyed…”

While the rest of Europe scrambles to find quick fixes for soaring energy prices, Spain is busy taking a victory lap. politico.eu/article/spain-…

@BM_Visser U bedoelt met energie fossiele energie?

NL/EU is bezig haar afhankelijkheid van energie in te ruilen voor die van kritische grondstoffen en halffabricaten. Een riskante strategie omdat die mondiale markten veel minder liquide zijn dan van energie. Zou Nexperia een wake-up call vormen ? energiepodium.nl/artikel/het-sp…

@BM_Visser Dus nog maar 25% fossiel.

Afgelopen week produceerden hernieuwbare bronnen voldoende elektriciteit voor 2/3 van de NL stroomvraag. Amer 9 met 100% biomassa is weer in bedrijf gekomen. Voorts flinke inzet kolencentrales op uren met weinig wind & zon. Daardoor beperkte gasinzet. #grafiekvandedag

@Thijmen_AJ @nieuwsuurbot Kijk maar naar de diesel- en benzineprijs.

@joost37 @nieuwsuurbot Leg uit?

Wat gebeurt er als de stroom langer dan acht uur uitvalt? De communicatiesystemen van onze hulpdiensten vallen dan stil. Veel veiligheidsregio's blijken onvoldoende voorbereid op dit rampscenario.

Was in diesen Tagen allen klar werden müsste: Atomkraftwerke und fossile Infrastuktur zählen zu den obersten Zielen in einem Krieg. Hunderte dezentrale Kraftwerke für Erneuerbare Energien stärken die Sicherheit. Auszug aus "Die Sicherheitslüge" oekom.de/buch/die-siche…

Mercedes E-LKW verkaufen sich gut. Wenn wir unabhängig von Öl werden wollen müssen wir alles tun, um die Elektrifizierung des Verkehrs und der Heizung zu beschleunigen. Das würde auch helfen, bei E-Autos, E-LKW, Wärmepumpen und Speichertechnologie mehr Arbeitsplätze aufzubauen.

A mysterious number haunts Chinese drivers as fuel costs spiral toward 10 yuan per litre – a threshold that could force millions to abandon their cars. More at: bit.ly/4uOcoG4
