ICCT report finds expected surge in renewable diesel production could have damaging environmental impacts due to feedstock demand

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 19, 2022

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has released a report prepared by the consultancy Cerulogy that explores the potential market and environmental impacts of increased capacity for renewable diesel produced by hydrotreating oils and fats in the US. —from the report, “Animal, vegetable or mineral (oil)?”.

Is A Second OPEC Cut In The Cards?

Green Car Congress

MARCH 8, 2017

OPEC’s coordinated effort to curtail global supply has so far managed to put a floor under oil prices, which have been sitting modestly above US$50 since the deal was announced at the end of November last year. Analysts and experts are now mostly predicting that oil prices will remain below US$60 this year.

Global oil and gas companies are increasingly facing an uphill battle as global warming policies are taking their toll. Most analysts and market watchers are focusing on peak oil demand scenarios, but the reality could be much darker. The latter is partly caused by “global warming constraints” and lower oil prices in general.

An OPEC Deal Extension Isn’t As Simple As It Sounds

MARCH 23, 2017

It’s been six months now that oil prices have been reacting to OPEC, first to the possibility of an agreement, and then to the production cut deal itself, forged by OPEC to rebalance the market. Having a smaller footprint globally would, in turn, mean that OPEC would wield less influence over the price of oil.
