According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), diesel will remain a scarce commodity until 2027, as supply disruptions from the Middle East, as well as declining exports from Russia and parts of Asia, continue to strain market conditions. #Dieselknappheit #InternationaleEnergieagentur #Energiekrise (translated)

The International Energy Agency warns that consumers and businesses should expect continued diesel shortages until next year, as markets remain highly strained and production remains limited due to geopolitical conflicts and drawdowns in inventory. #Dieselknappheit #Energieagentur #Ölmarkt (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump promised hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury then allowed an exemption from the sanctions. Given the midterms in four weeks and a diesel price at record levels, Laska interpreted the move as a possible campaign maneuver. In mid-September, Trump publicly called on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to a Reuters report led by Laska, at that time three of the six largest Russian diesel refineries were shut down or operating at limited capacity. She also pointed to a Russian export ban on diesel until the end of October and noted that Russia imported almost seven times as much diesel from Belarus from January to July as in the same period of the previous year. Deputy Prime Minister Novak is now talking about surpluses, she wrote; however, it is unclear whether the announced delivery quantities and deadlines will actually be met. Zelensky offered to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries if Russia ends its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Laska referred to this as a symmetrical de-escalation offer that is on the table for the Americans. She also cited rocket attacks on a residential building in Pryluky, glide bombs on city buses in Kramatorsk, and shelling of the energy supply in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa. She warned that Russia would respond to the diesel with terrorism. The EU also criticized Laska: On September 22, Usmanov and Fridman were removed from the sanctions list under pressure from France, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. According to Laska, Zelensky pointed out that the attacks had since increased. At the same time, the EU extended the remaining personal sanctions from six months to three years. Latvia had long resisted the compromise and ultimately paved the way for it by abstaining. Laska compared Trump's diesel concession to Russia with the European compromise in favor of unanimity. In her view, the costs of such agreements are borne not by their authors but by the people in Pryluky, Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Oleshkiv. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)

The author wrote that Klaus Schwab could be right in light of the diesel shortage and the energy crisis with statements from previous years. He referred to a report with the headline "The End of Car Ownership" and quoted Schwab saying that in the future, one would use an app like Uber. The quoted sentence was cut off there. #Energiekrise #KlausSchwab #Mobilität #DE (translated)
