EVOL: The Musk, the Rough and the Dangote

Elon Musk and Allister both visited Stavanger this week, leaving the Norwegians scrambling for an iron and a practical route to the energy transition. While Mr Musk was keen to fly the flag for hydrocarbons in the immediate term, the protesters had much less time for such talk.  

The UK has taken steps to secure its gas storage in the immediate term, approving Centrica’s plans to bring back the Rough storage facility. Given some of the panicky talk about blackouts, such a move has been well received.  

And finally Nigeria may be on the brink of halting its reliance on fuel imports, if they can finally figure out the riddle of refinery maintenance and new production at the Dangote Refinery. While Ed casts a cynical tone over proceedings, the government has signalled a determination to confront its problems.
