CO2 emissions from energy sector rise by record 2bn tons in 2021: IEA
04:15pm, Wednesday, 09'th Mar 2022 Kuwait Times
PARIS: Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions rose by six percent in 2021 to a record 36.3 billion tons, their highest ever level, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday. “The increase in global CO2 emissions of over 2 billion tons was the largest in history in absolute terms, more than offsetting the previous year’s pandemic-induced decline,” it said. It pointed to the widespread use of coal to power growth as the world economy rebounded from the COVID crisis. “The recovery of energy demand in 2021 was compounded by adverse weather and energy market conditions-notably the spikes in natural gas prices-which led to more coal being burned despite renewable power generation registering its largest ever growth,” it said. The IEA said the rebound of global CO2 emissions above pre-pandemic levels was largely driven by China, where they increased by 750 million tons between 2019 and 2021. “China was the only major economy to experience economic growth in both 2020 and 2021,” it said. “The emissions increases in those two years in China more than offset the aggregate decline in the rest of the world over the same period.” In 2021 alone, China’s CO2 emissions rose above 11.9 billion tons, accounting for 33 percent of the global total.

Europe faces pressure to join boycott of Russian oil and gas
02:36pm, Wednesday, 09'th Mar 2022 New Haven Register
BRUSSELS (AP) — Europe faces a tough choice: Is it worth a recession to choke off oil and gas money to Russia while it fights a war in Ukraine? The 27-member European Union faces far more economic pain from the war and resulting sanctions than the U.S. — true above all when it comes to the oil and gas that powers vehicles and keeps the heat and lights on. While the U.S. and British bans on Russian oil increase the pressure on Europe to follow suit, the continent''s dependence on Russia for energy makes an immediate embargo much more difficult. Still, some officials say it is the only way to stop pouring billions in oil and gas revenue into President Vladimir Putin''s coffers, despite the near certainty of record inflation worsening. Europe gets around 40% of its natural gas and 25% of its oil from Russia, whereas the U.S. gets meager amounts of oil and no natural gas. An EU boycott would mean higher prices at the pump and on utility bills, and ultimately the threat of an energy crisis and recession while the economy is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.

Cooking Gas Prices at an all-time High Over Russia Ukraine War
09:09am, Wednesday, 09'th Mar 2022 The Kenyan Wall Street
The cost of living for many Kenyan households has increased further as the prices of cooking gas rose to an all time high on Monday. The cost of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) skyrocketed even as most Kenyan consumers have been calling on the national government to address the high food prices being experienced. On Sunday, March 6, Rubis Energy informed its consumers of the looming new prices that were to set in on Monday 7, with the new prices of the 13kg cylinder gas shooting up from Sh3,113 to Sh3,440. The 6kg cooking gas cylinder will be refilled at Sh1560 up from Sh1441 while the 35 kg cylinder will be refilled at Sh8, 760 from Sh8, 191. Prices have increased by 50 percent from January last year by Sh1000 more than three times the 16 percent VAT the government introduced on LPG. The increased prices have been affected by an increase in the landing cost this month which is a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Russia which invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, is the highest producer of natural gas and for several months, Russia has been accused of intentionally disrupting gas supplies to leverage its role as a major energy supplier to Europe amid an escalating dispute with Ukraine.
