From modest beginnings in 1983 when the first container terminal was opened in Fujairah, the port has grown over the last 30 years to become the world's third-largest global bunkering hub after Singapore and Rotterdam. Connected to oil production in OPEC's third-largest producer by a 240-mile-long 48-inch wide export pipeline from Abu Dhabi, Fujairah now encompasses crude storage, bunkers, refining and dry bulk container freight.

In our evolving energy system, emerging and traditional fuels will coexist for years to come. This report examines how market flexibility, price transparency and technology innovation are responding to the decarbonization challenge.

Climate change action is accelerating across the energy sector. This report analyzes many facets of the transition—oil demand outlook, refiners' ESG obligations, greener pathways adopted by key Asian economies, and shipping's net-zero ambition.

Europe is cementing itself as a global LNG balancer, price anchor and demand hub in its own right. Amid this, while market access has taken center stage, there still is no mechanism to manage or trade terminal access and capacity on a multi-terminal basis, making access rights a valuable commodity in its own right. Without evolutionary change in this part of the LNG value chain, capacity risk could create a bottleneck to efficient market trade.

While pressure mounts on the EU to reduce its reliance on Russian gas supplies, Brussels' most ambitious supply diversification project, the Southern Gas Corridor, is nearing completion with the launch of its final stretch, the TAP pipeline, close at hand. Initially delivering 10 Bcm per year of Azeri gas annually to Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, the volumes involved may seem small. But TAP will still have an impact on the receiving markets. This report analyzes the changes that Italy and Central and Eastern Europe will see in the short and the long term.
