India urgently expands oil storage amid mounting geopolitical risks

IndiaTimes Thursday, 4 January 2024
India prioritizes and accelerates efforts to expand oil storage capacity to mitigate geopolitical risks and accommodate increasing refining capacity. The country faces vulnerabilities in the energy supply chain, particularly in regions like the Red Sea and the Middle East. To enhance energy resilience and reduce external dependencies, India needs a comprehensive strategic plan. The International Energy Agency (IEA) recommends maintaining oil stocks equivalent to at least 90 days of net imports, a benchmark India falls short of. Steps have been taken to address this shortfall, including the implementation of Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPRs).

SUV Sales Hit Record High in 2023 Despite Global Efforts to Cut Emissions [Video]

SUV Sales Hit Record High in 2023 Despite Global Efforts to Cut Emissions

SUV Sales Hit , Record High in 2023 Despite , Global Efforts to Cut Emissions. 'The Guardian' reports that SUV sales hit a record high in 2023, comprising half of all new cars sold globally. Experts warn that the increasing popularity of the heavy vehicles will drive up carbon emissions responsible for global warming. An analysis by the International Energy Agency (IEA) found that emissions from SUVs made up for 20% of the world's carbon emissions in 2023. According to the IEA, if SUVs were considered a country, they would have been the fifth-largest carbon emitter in the world, ahead of both Germany and Japan. 'The Guardian' reports that urgent cuts in emissions are needed to combat climate-driven extreme weather events, which are already increasing in frequency. Despite this, SUV sales increased by 15% compared to a 3% increase for conventional automobiles in 2023. According to the IEA, the main reasons behind increasing SUV sales are “the appeal of SUVs as a status symbol,” automakers' marketing and perceptions of comfort. The IEA also points out that SUVs cause greater injuries in pedestrian collisions, due to the height of the vehicle's front end and take up more space in cities. While 20% of the SUVs sold in 2023 were either full electric or plug-in hybrids, the vehicles require larger batteries, which places a strain on supplies of critical minerals. . In 2023, there were over 360 million SUVs on roads worldwide, which were responsible for more than 1 billion tons of carbon emissions, increasing by about 10% compared to 2022
