Read more German cruise operator TUI Cruises will step up its use of liquefied biomethane (LBM) across its European cruise programme.
  
  Its dual-fuel cruise ship Mein Schiff Relax operates its Northern European itineraries
  entirely on LBM during the summer season, TUI Cruises said.
  
  The itineraries cover destinations across Scandinavia, the Baltic region and other parts of Northern Europe, according to its website.
  
  Another vessel, Mein Schiff Flow, has been “regularly bunkering” LBM in Barcelona since May 2026, and will continue using the fuel beyond the winter season, the operator added.
  
  As of July 2026, the use of LBM had reduced the company's GHG emissions by around 26,000 mtCO2e compared with conventional marine fuels. TUI Cruises expects those savings to reach 50,000 mtCO2e by the end of the year, chief executive Wybcke Meier said. Source: ENGIИE

  Oil rises on uncertainty over reopening of Hormuz

Brent crude... Read more Oil prices rose on Monday on uncertainty over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz anytime soon, as Iran said a deal with Oman defining new shipping lanes was in its final stages but insisted the U.S. must still meet other conditions.
  
  Brent crude futures rose 91 cents or 1.09%, to $84.46 a barrel by 0056 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 61 cents, or 0.78% to $78.79 a barrel.
  
  Both benchmarks had fallen more than 7% last week on hopes that Iran and Oman were close to reaching a deal that would result in a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which carried a fifth of the world’s oil before the war.
  
  While Iran said on Sunday that a deal with Oman was in its "final stages", it reiterated that the waterway would only reopen once Washington met other conditions, including U.S. compensation to Iran for its widespread attacks.
  
  “Traders have been conditioned by the on-again, off-again nature of the negotiations and are waiting for tangible evidence, such as verified tanker movements or formal agreements, before further unwinding the risk premium,” said Tim Waterer, chief market ‌analyst at ⁠KCM Trade.
  
  Iran and the U.S. are not engaged in talks and Tehran will not start them as long as Washington breaches an interim deal signed in June, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday.
  
  In a further threat to supply, a Saudi oil plant was attacked over the weekend.
  
  The Iran-aligned Houthis said they had hit Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery on Sunday, two days after the kingdom signed a defence pact with Sunni Muslim allies Turkey and Pakistan in response to growing regional instability from the U.S.-Israeli war on Shi’ite Iran.
  
  Separately, the United Arab Emirates’ ADNOC said on Friday that 15 of its vessels had been attacked transiting the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the conflict. Source: Oilprice.com

  Europe Bets Billions on North Africa’s Clean Energy Potential
  Europe is deepening its ties with North Africa to develop stronger clean energy connections between the two regions in support of a green transition. The European Union and several European countries have invested in Morocco and Egypt in recent years... Read more Europe is deepening its ties with North Africa to develop stronger clean energy connections between the two regions in support of a green transition. The European Union and several European countries have invested in Morocco and Egypt in recent years to support renewable energy development in countries with favourable climate conditions for energy production. Over the coming decade, Europe and North Africa are expected to establish a stronger clean energy trade corridor that will help both regions decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
  
  In June, the European Commission (EC) pledged almost $5.8 billion in renewable energy projects in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as part of its T-MED initiative, which it hopes will provide Europe’s grid with clean energy. The aim is to deploy solar panels in the Sahara Desert and wind turbines along the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean to produce clean energy in areas with optimal climate conditions. The electricity produced will be delivered to Europe’s grid via high-voltage transmission lines that run under the sea.
  
  Much of Europe is already accelerating the expansion of domestic renewable energy capacity. However, investing in a region with more suitable weather conditions could help European countries transition away from fossil fuels even faster, to meet their electrification targets and climate pledges. The EC estimates that the MENA region has approximately 2,300 GW of renewable energy potential, which is over twice the EU’s current installed capacity. Solar and wind power can also be produced at between 30 and 40 per cent less cost than in Europe.
  
  The hope is that the EU financing will encourage private funding of up to $29 billion by 2035 to support the growth of the MENA region’s renewable energy industry. This includes the development of solar and wind power, hydrogen, and electricity grids. However, to fully exploit its renewable energy potential, the EC estimates that MENA will require almost $115 billion in investment.
  
  The EC expects more governments, development banks, project developers, and private investors to see the value of investing in the region. Meanwhile, it will encourage countries across MENA to simplify permitting procedures, improve grid access, and strengthen regulatory frameworks to encourage investment.
  
  The European Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen, emphasised the need to invest in green energy in the face of ongoing geopolitical challenges that have led to energy shortages and driven fuel prices up. “The EU’s bill for fossil fuel imports has increased by over €47 billion in the past 100 days, but not a single molecule of energy in addition,” said Jørgensen. “Our energy security must be based on electrified energy systems that are based on clean energy, modern grids and increased connectivity,” he added. This echoes a broader movement to diversify energy production to improve energy security in several parts of the world.
  
  The EC intends for the initiative to lead to the development of at least 15 GW of new renewable-energy capacity by 2035, as well as to support the creation of over 100,000 jobs. It will also deepen the energy relationship between Europe and the MENA region. This is not Europe’s first clean energy investment in North Africa, but it may be the most ambitious.
  
  In 2019, the EU and European Investment Bank invested €106.5 million in the development of the Noor Ouarzazate solar power complex, a 580 MW power plant located around 10 km north-east of the city of Ouarzazate. The project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by around 760,000 tonnes a year.
  
  In June, the EU announced plans to deepen ties with Egypt by providing a financing package of up to $794 million to upgrade and expand Egypt’s electricity network. The package consists of a $690 million loan from the European Investment Bank’s development arm, EIB Global, and up to $104 million in EC grants.
  
  Meanwhile, Germany has launched a $30 billion project known as Sila Atlantik with Morocco to develop what would be the world's ‌longest intercontinental undersea power link. The aim is to connect Morocco and Germany via two high-voltage subsea cables to deliver up to 5 per cent of Germany’s annual electricity demand. However, the project has been delayed due to disagreements over structure and guarantees, Reuters reported in June.
  
  If developed, the cables would stretch around 4,800 km and deliver up to 15 GW of solar and wind power from Morocco to Germany. The German firm Sila Atlantik was established to manage the project following the collapse of a similar proposed Morocco-U.K. renewable electricity link, known as Xlinks, in 2025.
  
  The European Commission’s T-MED initiative is the latest and most ambitious plan to expand the MENA region’s renewable energy capacity and enhance clean energy trade between the two regions. It is expected to encourage high levels of private investment in the sector and support broader diversification aims to strengthen energy security across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

  Oil Traders Stay Bearish Despite Deepening Middle East Disruptions

Earlier this week, Brent crude... Read more Despite continued hostilities in the Middle East and an expansion of the war to the Red Sea, oil traders have remained largely bearish on the commodity, betting on a quick peace deal—and they might get a nasty shock.
  
  Earlier this week, Brent crude sank below $80 per barrel, and WTI dropped below $75, after President Trump said peace talks between the United States and Iran had resumed, even though Iranian officials denied there were any talks in progress. However, Iran is negotiating a deal about control over the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, which traders apparently took as more bearish news for oil.
  
  Meanwhile, the Yemeni Houthis are striking Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, prompting yet another rerouting of Saudi oil exports to the Suez Canal and a pipeline to the Mediterranean coast of Egypt that has much smaller capacity than the East-West pipeline from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. This would mean additional constraints on Saudi oil exports, yet traders appear to be largely oblivious to the fact.
  
  In further fresh news from the Persian Gulf, the Iranian parliament is discussing a bill to ban access to the Strait of Hormuz to U.S., Israeli, and other “hostile” vessels. That would not do much for the free passage of energy carriers in the region, and it would certainly do nothing about improving the prospect of peace between Tehran and Washington.
  
  Indeed, the last bit of news seems to have gotten traders’ attention and oil prices were up on Friday, reflecting the possibility of extended restrictions on tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which, it might be worth recalling, used to account for about a fifth of global oil and gas trade before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran at the end of February.
  
  The situation is quite unique. In any oil crises in the past, futures prices have normally reflected events on the ground rather than speculation. The latest example was the oil price surge back in 2022, when sanctions on Russia from the West appeared to threaten a solid chunk of global oil flows, with Russia being a top-three exporter. When this did not happen and Russian oil and fuel flows simply redirected from the West to the East, a perception came to dominate the oil market that oil, like love, always finds a way.
  
  True as this is, this time there is literal destruction of supply—and this is what a lot of traders are ignoring. Global oil production, as of July, was 9.4 million barrels daily below pre-war levels, the International Energy Agency said in its monthly Oil Market Report. That was despite a sharp rebound of over 4 million barrels daily in June as a result of the ceasefire deal that the U.S. and Iran agreed to, and that did not even last a month.
  
  “Nearly 3 million barrels per day of refining capacity in the region has been shut due to attacks and a lack of viable export outlets,” the IEA also warned in a separate report, which has made the refined oil product situation in the world complicated. Not only this, but the amount of crude in storage in the Gulf has declined, after the flood of oil that Gulf states sent out after the ceasefire deal was agreed in June.
  
  According to Kpler data cited by Reuters’ Ron Bousso, Gulf states exported 70 million barrels of crude in the weeks following the deal. This leaves 80 million barrels still in storage. They could be released if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, but that would leave storage empty. Global supply of crude oil, in other words, is still tightening. Yet oil prices are not reflecting this.
  
  The situation is problematic because it could make a future oil price shock a lot more severe than it would have been otherwise. Analysts noted early on in the war that it takes several months for the supply tightness in crude oil to fully materialize on physical markets and affect prices. Five months after the first strikes, we are much nearer to that point of full materialization.
  
  Even so, analysts appear quite confident that the war will end soon. ING commodity analysts earlier on Friday wrote that “Despite clear signs of progress in recent days, the tenor of the rhetoric and growing distrust between the US and Iran mean things could go from bad to worse once again. For now, we hold onto our view that flows will start to normalise through the third quarter, which leaves us expecting Brent to average $80/bbl this quarter.” They are not alone in their optimism, even if there is little cause for it.
  
  Some, however, are beginning to suspect that there will not be a return to full normal, even after the end of the war, whenever it comes. Iran’s discussion of charging for ships passing the Strait of Hormuz and the idea of co-managing it with Oman suggests that post-war Middle East oil flows will be different—and while those alternative pipelines get built, prices will be higher.
