Europe Faces a Jet Fuel Crunch as Hormuz Disruption Looms

The International Energy Agency warns Europe could run out of jet fuel in as little as six weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, a crisis tied to Middle East supply and described as the largest energy crisis yet. With roughly 75% of Europe’s jet fuel imports coming from the region, widespread flight cancellations and surging costs for airlines and travelers could follow, and a full recovery could take years amid geopolitical tensions and potential changes to shipping routes and tolls.

"Federal Funding Supercharges U.S. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure"

The U.S. Department of Energy has allocated over $131 million for projects aimed at advancing electric vehicle (EV) battery technology and charging systems, as well as establishing a sustainable domestic battery supply chain. The funding will support research and development efforts to lower EV technology costs, increase driving range, and promote a clean energy future, aligning with President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. The selected projects will focus on developing innovative and equitable clean mobility options, alleviating supply chain concerns for EV batteries, and increasing EV drive range, while the Advanced Battery R&D Consortium will prioritize pre-competitive, vehicle-related advanced battery R&D to address critical priorities for widescale EV commercialization.
