В последние месяцы украинские дроны нанесли серьёзный ущерб российской нефтепереработке — по оценкам экспертов, выведено из строя порядка 38% мощностей. На этом фоне Москва продлила запрет на экспорт топлива до конца 2025 года. Эксперты отмечают, что эти меры усиливают напряжённость на мировом рынке топлива и создают риски роста мировых цен.
A l’encontre de la volonté affichée par Donald Trump de doper la production d’hydrocarbures aux Etats-Unis, plusieurs producteurs de...-Matières premières
It was great to see so many of you in my hometown last week for New York Climate Week–whether at various events and nightcaps or while giving you a ride through the traffic-clogged streets on my e-bike.
CGEP scholars reflect on some of the standout issues of the day during this year's Climate Week
Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
US tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil may stem more from frustrations in US-India trade negotiations than from a concern about funding Russia’s war in Ukraine.
