You don’t need us to tell you that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—and Western sanctions on Russia—are playing havoc with your finances. You’re reminded of the pain afflicting your pocketbook every time you fill your gas tank. But the impact doesn’t end there. Americans are spending more at the supermarket, mortgage rates are higher, and investors have experienced big losses in their portfolios Sanctions on Russia will exacerbate already high inflation, which reached 7.9% in February. Russia’s main contributions to the world economy are commodities—oil, gas, wheat, nickel, aluminum, palladium. To the extent that sanctions cut off those exports, prices will climb still higher.

European Gas Injections Begin As Warmer Temperatures Trend Temperatures in Europe are turning higher as peak winter is over and spring nears. Heating demand declines as mild weather spreads through Europe. This is great news for the continent''s ongoing energy crisis. Peak winter appears to have been recorded in the mid/late January timeframe when average temperatures in Europe were 30 degrees Fahrenheit. At the time, Europe was sliding into an energy crisis with declining supplies from Russia and stockpiles at extremely low levels. Then the Russian invasion in late February sent prices skyrocketing . Bloomberg cites data from Gas Infrastructure Europe, showing energy companies in Germany, France, and Poland are taking in more natural gas than withdrawing from stockpiles which could suggest restocking begins. This could be happening because heating demand decreases as temperatures are expected to be in the mid-60s in Paris on Wednesday. Declining demand has brought some relief to energy markets, still dealing with potential supply disruptions as the Russian invasion of Ukraine wages on . "Mild weather in Germany is improving the outlook," said Ron Smith, a senior analyst at BCS Global Markets. "Gas markets seemingly are slowly reducing the geopolitical risk premium in European prices as it becomes increasingly apparent that Russian flows are not likely to get interrupted in the near term," said Smith.

Martins Odion often has no electricity, but he says his home is permanently lit at night by the flames of waste gas being “flared” near his hometown in Nigeria’s Delta State. “This flare site makes the nights like days,” said 42-year-old Odion, his eyes both bloodshot and milky, something he said his doctor attributes to the burning of the waste gas. After sunset, nearly 200 blinking flares dot the landscape around Port Harcourt, the Delta oil hub. Experts say the gas that Nigeria flares nationwide could be worth billions of dollars if captured and transported to be used as liquefied natural gas for plastics or fertilizers. To change this narrative, Carbon Limits Nigeria is bridging the shortfalls in Nigeria’s emission reduction with bold innovations, social investments, and local capacity development. “What we are trying to achieve is to help energy industries to understand both the characteristics and size of carbon emissions and their operations and also help to reduce emissions. We also work on broader consultancy, which is related to analysing policies and regulations related to emissions of greenhouse gases,” Torleif Haugland, Co-Founder and Partner of Carbon Limits Nigeria said.
