Mali
In recent years, the rate of access to electricity in Mali has surpassed 25%, thanks to a public focus on mini-grid solutions. The government of Mali now plans to increase hybridisation of its mini-grids by adding PV capacity to diesel power plants. In 2019, Mali’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes (65%) and oil products (32%), with coal and hydro accounting for the rest. In 2020, less than 5% of the population had access to clean cooking and 52% had access to electricity. For electricity access, the country targets 70% access by 2025, 80% by…

Sheltering From Oil Shocks
…conflict in the Middle East has created the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market, due to the near halt in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The loss of supply is having significant impacts in global markets, pushing up prices for crude oil above $100/barrel, and leading to much higher prices for some refined products – notably diesel, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Concerns are growing about the impacts of higher prices on households, businesses and the broader economy.In this report, the IEA details 10 demand-side options open to households…

How global oil supplies have readjusted to help fill the huge gap left by the Strait of Hormuz shock
…but also for petrochemical feedstocks, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking, and middle distillates such as diesel and jet fuel. As the crisis intensified in early April, the North Sea Dated international crude oil benchmark reached an all-time high of $144 per barrel – more than double its pre-war levels, with even steeper gains recorded for jet fuel and diesel.Prices have since eased significantly as demand has fallen sharply, and on increased optimism that a deal would be reached to enable more regular shipping flows through the Strait. The new agreement last week between the United States and…

Refining margins eased in June, as crude prices rallied but subsequently recovered to multi-month highs in early July, led higher by stronger diesel cracks.Observed oil inventories surged by 73.9 mb to 7 818 mb in May, led by OECD commercial product inventories and crude in non-OECD countries. Crude, NGLs and feedstocks were up for the fourth month in a row, by 49.7 mb, in large part due to a sharp rise in…

…Global refinery crude throughputs are forecast to average 83.5 mb/d in 2025 and 84 mb/d in 2026, as growth slows from 580 kb/d to 540 kb/d, respectively. Refining margins remain strong, as a sharp deterioration in diesel cracks was partly offset by better gasoline economics.Observed global oil stocks rose by 26.5 mb in July, extending gains since start of the year to 187 mb. Inventories remained 67 mb below the five-year average, despite a significant surplus built up in China in recent months. OECD industry stocks were up by 6.9 mb…

Near-record oil on water, soft crude fundamentals and low volatility pinned prices near four-year lows around $63/bbl despite tightening sanctions and strong diesel cracks. Parallel markets Much has been made about the apparent disconnect between the current global oil surplus on the one hand and inventories near decade lows at key pricing hubs on the other. Indeed, despite record volumes of oil piling up on water, benchmark crude oil prices eased only…

Businesses see competitive value of energy efficiency, but smaller firms struggle to access solutions
…for 20% to 40% of operating expenditures, mining companies reported the highest perceived impact of energy efficiency efforts on enhanced competitiveness. This was particularly evident in responses from mining companies in India and Indonesia, where reliance on relatively expensive off-grid diesel electricity generation makes reducing energy intensity especially valuable.When businesses were asked how they would respond to higher energy costs, energy efficiency also emerged as the leading strategic response. Almost 40% of industry leaders ranked energy efficiency as the single most important measure they pursued to offset energy price increases, followed closely by investment in on-site renewables…

…flexibility will be needed to meet its goal of universal access by 2024. In recognition, the plans introduced by the government of Indonesia are multi-dimensional; they include the extension of the existing grid, promoting micro-hydro and off-grid solar technologies as well as solar-diesel hybrid and isolated diesel generators. While the plans rely heavily on financing from the national utility, Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), this is largely enabled by the presence of private participation in commercially viable projects in the country’s broad power sector, which gives some latitude to PLN to support projects that the government…

Renewables 2022 Transport biofuels
Forecast summary Biofuel use expands in 2022 despite rising costs Global biofuel demand is expected to be 6% or 9 100 million litres per year (MLPY) higher in 2022 than in 2021. Renewable diesel makes up the largest share of this year-on-year expansion, thanks to attractive policies in the United States and Europe. Blending requirements and financial incentives support demand growth in India and Brazil, and Indonesia’s 30% biodiesel blending requirement also boosts biodiesel use in that country. Nevertheless, we have revised year-on-year growth downwards 25% from our 2021 forecast, with price and market developments…
