  6. The US State Department has sent a letter to #Lithuania, #Poland, and #Ukraine, asking them to lift #sanctions on potash from #Belarus and allow transit shipments. The letter stated that US companies were interested in buying Belarusian #fertilisers shipped via #Baltic or Ukrainian #ports.

  7. theconversation.com/decarbonis. "Roughly 15-20% of all #fossilfuel #consumption is never burned at all. It is transformed into the #physical #fabric of #modern #life: #plastics, #polymers, #fertilisers, #adhesives, #solvents & #synthetic #textiles... The #chemical #industry is the upstream #engine of many modern #materials, using about 14% of global #oil #demand & 8% of global #gas demand. Much of that is used as a raw #material rather than #fuel."

  8. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda denied that the US was pressuring #Lithuania to reopen #transit shipments of #fertilisers from #Belarus. Earlier, Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys told MPs that the US was exerting pressure on Lithuania and other countries in the region on the issue.

  20. The Commission has proposed to suspend, for one year, the most favoured nation (MFN) duties on imports of several key nitrogen fertilisers and inputs for their production (ammonia, urea).
    This measure aims to strengthen the EU's #agrifood sector, lowering costs for farmers and the #fertilisers industry🤔

  22. "We are facing the greatest global energy security threat in history"

    “The war in the Middle East is creating a major energy crisis, including the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. In the absence of a swift resolution, the impacts on energy markets and economies are set to become more and more severe,” said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol."

    "Reduce demand:

    1. Work from home where possible
    Displaces oil use from commuting, particularly where jobs are suitable for remote work.

    2. Reduce highway speed limits by at least 10 km/h
    Lower speeds reduce fuel use for passenger cars, vans and trucks.

    3. Encourage public transport
    A shift from private cars to buses and trains can quickly reduce oil demand.

    4. Alternate private car access to roads in large cities on different days
    Number-plate rotation schemes can reduce congestion and fuel-intensive driving.

    5. Increase car sharing and adopt efficient driving practices
    Higher car occupancy and eco-driving can lower fuel consumption quickly.

    6. Efficient driving for road commercial vehicles and delivery of goods
    Better driving practices, vehicle maintenance and load optimisation can cut diesel use.

    7. Divert LPG use from transport
    Shifting bi-fuel and converted vehicles from LPG to gasoline can preserve LPG for cooking and other essential needs.

    8. Avoid air travel where alternative options exist
    Reducing business flights can quickly ease pressure on jet fuel markets.

    9. Where possible, switch to other modern cooking solutions
    Encouraging electric cooking and other modern options can reduce reliance on LPG.

    10. Leverage flexibility with petrochemical feedstocks and implement short-term efficiency and maintenance measures "

  27. A sustained disruption of traffic through Hormuz would not simply constitute an energy crisis. It would also represent a fertiliser shock (where prices go up dramatically and supply goes down) – and, by extension, a direct risk to global food security.
