            <description><![CDATA[South Africa will need more than $8-billion to revive two mothballed state-owned refineries, officials told lawmakers, as the country seeks to strengthen energy security and reduce dependence on imported fuels. South Africa's State-owned Central Energy Fund acquired the flood-damaged 180 000 barrels-per-day Sapref refinery in 2024 from BP and Shell for a token R1. CEF said it plans to revive the refinery's liquefied petroleum gas import and distribution business and lease out existing storage tanks to generate early revenue. The plan is to upgrade the refinery to a 400 000 to 650 000 bpd plant with National Treasury approval and a final investment decision targeted for 2027/28, the CEF said in a statement late on Monday.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Less than three years after overcoming surging costs, swampy terrain and inadequate infrastructure to launch Africa's biggest oil refinery in Nigeria, billionaire Aliko Dangote is set on replicating that project on the continent's opposite coast. But the construction of his company's planned new 700 000 bbl/d Lamu refinery in Kenya promises to bring a whole new set of issues — not least where to secure crude supply in a country that, unlike oil-rich Nigeria, currently has no commercial output.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Global diesel supply will remain tight due to a lack of spare refining capacity, Russia's ban on exports and the approach of peak winter demand, senior industry executives said on Tuesday. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have impacted refineries in Russia and the Middle East, pushing diesel margins to record levels in Europe and the US, while reducing crude supplies to Asia. "There's really a shortage of products because we're missing two-million barrels a day from Russia, and we're missing nearly two-million barrels a day from the Middle East," Vitol CEO Russell Hardy told the APPEC conference on Tuesday. Hardy said crude is in a better supply position than products as the Middle East is exporting about nine-million barrels a day of crude and one-million barrels a day of products.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Global energy research and consulting firm Wood Mackenzie's (WoodMac’s) base case scenario projects electric vehicles (EVs) jumping from 4% of the global fleet today to 25% by 2040. However, if governments boost EV supply chain investment to strengthen resilience to oil market shocks, high fuel prices prompt more consumers to switch to EVs, and EV technologies advance faster than expected, this could fast-track global EV adoption to 50%.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[While the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has increased paraxylene (PX), purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono ethylene glycol (MEG) prices, outright supply shortages have been limited, with high crude oil prices being the dominant cost driver across the petrochemicals value chain, according to global research and consultancy group Wood Mackenzie. Around 20% of Europe's PX supply comes from the Middle East, a share that has grown with the addition of a new PTA asset in Türkiye. Middle Eastern supply accounts for only 5% to 10% of the US’s PX, with a similar share for the rest of the world, says Wood Mackenzie senior research analyst Santiago Castro.]]></description>

"The politics of what is happening in the Gulf is quite troubling because it goes hand in hand with the genocide in Gaza. For some parties, it functions as an alternative strategy to consolidate the impact of the genocide."]]></description>
