Russia is boosting its crude oil exports, with shipments to China and India rebounding as traders and buyers have reshuffled tanker supply chains following the U.S. sanctions on Russia’s oil trade and shadow tanker fleet from early this year. The Biden Administration’s farewell sanctions on Russian oil trade from January 10 were the most aggressive yet. Many of the vessels, specialized tankers, and shuttle tankers transporting Russia’s oil from the Arctic and Far East Pacific fields and production clusters to Asia have…

Just a few years ago, China’s energy-storage industry was riding high on a sugar rush of subsidies, soaring demand, and sky-is-the-limit optimism. But this is 2025, and China is waking up with a tariff-sized headache and a hangover from its own price war. At the heart of the drama is the battery energy storage sector (BESS)—those magical boxes that soak up solar and wind energy and spit it back out when the grid needs it. In theory, BESS are the unsung heroes of the clean energy revolution. In practice, they’re now ground zero…

Guyana’s oil output took a dip in March, sliding to 627,000 barrels per day (bpd) from February’s 648,000 bpd, a new report from Reuters shows. That puts first-quarter production at a still-robust 631,000 bpd on average, according to the country’s energy ministry. A blip? Sure. A bust? Not even close. Let’s not forget: just five years ago, Guyana didn’t even have a spot on the global oil map. Thanks mostly to ExxonMobil and its tag-team partners Hess and CNOOC, the offshore Stabroek Block has turned into one of the…

Iraq is moving to achieve energy security by diversifying its energy sources and reducing reliance on imports of Iranian electricity and natural gas. A warning that expeditious action is needed was the removal of the U.S. sanctions waiver that allowed Iraq to import electricity from Iran. While Iranian electricity is only about 2% of Iraq’s demand, Iranian natural gas is over 40%, making diversification crucial. Washington uses Iraq as a platform for its campaign against Iran, going back to its support for Saddam Hussein after he attacked…

Over the past three years, Western OEMs have retrenched to core markets, aiming to restore profitability after years of margin pressure. Input costs declined in 2024, but turbine prices continued to rise, helping Western OEMs improve their earnings. Still, CAPEX remains a central concern for developers, especially as interest rates stay elevated. In China, manufacturers responded to the phase-out of feed-in tariffs by introducing larger turbine models to keep costs down. This intensified domestic competition and led to falling turbine prices -…

China's halt on a wide range of critical minerals and magnet exports in retaliation for U.S. tariffs has disrupted some of Elon Musk's plans to build humanoid robots. The very act of Beijing choking off supplies of critical components highlights the urgent need to friendshore or reshore rare earths mining and refining, as well as advanced technology supply chains, if the U.S. hopes to maintain its dominance into the 2030s.  On Tuesday, Musk revealed during Tesla's earnings call that plans to build humanoid robots had hit a snag due to Beijing's…
