🇷🇺 NEW | Monthly analysis of Russian fossil fuel exports & sanctions
In June 2026, Russia’s fossil fuel export earnings fell 1%
🇫🇷 🚨 Meanwhile, France’s LNG imports climbed 34% 📈
@TheEconomist 🏴☠️ As flag registries crack down on Russia's ‘shadow’ fleet, vessels are shifting to new jurisdictions rather than leaving trade
🇷🇺 Russia's own registry is also expanding, with sanctioned tankers flying the Russian flag increasing from 125 at the end of 2024 to 219 by June 2026

🇮🇳 NEW | INSIGHTS: El Niño power demand could drive nearly 18 TWh of additional coal burn within year
⚠️ Wind & hydro power will be down while heat will drive up demand for air conditioning, release est. 17 mn tonnes of CO2
☀️ Another way? Solar power👇

🇨🇳 NEW | #China #Energy and #Emissions Trends – May 2026 snapshot | EN & CN
🪨📈 Fossil power generation rose 2% YoY, with curtailment possibly playing a role but weak wind as the key driver and likely to reverse quickly
🚗📈NEVs continued to outperform the broader auto sector share of total vehicle production rose to 57% & exports more than doubled to a record high. Fuel-burning vehicle production fell sharply by 22%

🇷🇺 NEW | Monthly analysis of Russian fossil fuel exports & sanctions
📈In May 2026, Russia’s fossil fuel export revenues rose 2% MoM to EUR 726mn per day despite volumes remaining stable
🚢Russia's crude oil export revenues grew 1% MoM to EUR 362 mn per day; volumes rose by 8%
🚫The UK’s May 2026 ban on oil products made from Russian crude leaves out jet fuel and diesel, which make up 99% of such imports

🌍 An oil prices spike after disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz has prompted a rethink of the maritime services ban on Russian oil to ensure global supplies
🚨 The price cap is only as effective as its enforcement. In May, full enforcement of the USD 44.1 per barrel cap would have slashed Russian revenues by 45% - roughly EUR 6.3 bn
