Colombia sets goals for fossil fuel phase-out event
Colombia sets goals for fossil fuel phase-out event
Sao Paulo, 5 March (Argus) — Colombia and the Netherlands have set out three priorities for a conference on phasing out fossil fuels they will co-host in Colombia in April. One of the focuses of the event — which will be held in Santa Marta on 24-29 April and was first announced during the UN Cop 30 climate summit in November — will be the economic transition away from dependence on fossil fuels. "We are saying that productive countries like Colombia, and many others in the global south, depend economically on the production and export of these carbon-intensive commodities," Colombian environment minister Irene Velez Torres said. "We have to be able to make economies move beyond this production model." The second issue the conference will focus on is the balance between supply and demand, which includes "key issues" such as energy sovereignty and energy security, Torres said. "We want European countries in particular — where this debate has been central to energy policy — to share the challenges and pending decisions that remain on the table", she added The event will also focus on fossil fuel subsidies and how to move away from them on a national scale. The conference is looking for "concrete terms" on how to move away from fossil fuels, Dutch climate policy minister Stientje van Veldhove said. It will "concentrate on the practical nuts and bolts of the transition" and draw on "strong foundations" laid by coalitions such as the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance and the Powering Past Coal Alliance, she said. The conference will also produce a report on the topic to be shared with the Cop 30 and Cop 31 presidencies, van Veldhove said. The Cop 30 presidency pledged at the summit in November to create a roadmap on the phase out of fossil fuels , which would be presented at Cop 31 — to be held in Turkey in November of this year — after the topic failed to appear in any of the summit's final texts despite support from over 80 countries . Almost 200 countries agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in a landmark decision at Cop 28 in 2023, in Dubai. The Cop 30 presidency has said that an initial draft of the roadmap could be ready by the conference in Colombia . Additionally, the conference will serve as a complement to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) instead of replacing it, the head of international affairs at Colombia's environment ministry Daniela Duran said. "We want to generate a sense of process," Torres said. "That is to say, this is the first conference and we want to have the next one. We also want to have a technical secretary to encourage these debates", she said. More than 2,600 organizations have registered for the conference, she said. Colombian president Gustavo Petro is set to attend, while the presence of Dutch prime minister Rob Jetten is still unclear. No naysayers The conference will not attempt to change the minds of those who are skeptical about the transition away from fossil fuels, but rather speak to a "coalition of the willing", Torres said. "This is a conference for those who are already convinced and ready to work on solutions for the transition," Duran added. While the US is unlikely to send federal representatives — President Donald Trump has scaled down the US' climate action plans and withdrawn from UNFCCC — the conference has sent an invitation for California governor Gavin Newsom, Duran said. "Although the US' federal policies are not aligned with the conference's principles, we know that some states have played an important role [in climate discussions] and have learned lessons that can be brought to the conference".

European jet fuel doubles crude price due to war
European jet fuel doubles crude price due to war
London, 5 March (Argus) — Jet fuel in northwest Europe traded at more than twice the prices of North Sea crude on 5 March, extending its record premium for a third consecutive day, as the war in the Mideast Gulf causes extreme volatility the jet fuel market. Cif northwest European jet fuel held an $87.96/bl premium to the North Sea Dated benchmark crude basket and a $90.97/bl premium to front-month Ice Brent futures on Thursday, Argus assessments show. North Sea Dated and front-month Ice Brent futures were assessed at $87.74/bl and $84.73/bl, respectively. Premiums to crude — also known as refining margins or cracks — hit what was then a record high of over $70/bl on 3 March , before volatility in the market deepened on Wednesday . Price visibility collapsed on Thursday , with market participants unable to agree on levels because of the volatility, they said. Jet fuel cracks in Europe are now more than 200pc higher on the month and over 350pc higher on the year. Even though broader product supply has come under threat because of the war in the Mideast Gulf, jet fuel prices have taken off in a manner like never before, market participants said. For comparison, jet fuel roughly holds a $25/bl premium to diesel at the moment — it was trading at around a $2-4/bl premium to diesel last week, and at a discount this time last year. The Mideast Gulf accounts for more than 50pc of Europe's jet fuel imports, Kpler and Vortexa data show, while Europe has become structurally tighter on jet fuel supply. No jet fuel has passed through the strait of Hormuz, which Iran claims to have shut, since the war broke out on 28 February. At least two tankers that were set to load in the region have since turned away . Refineries are likely maximising jet fuel output because of the situation and wide margins, market participants believe, although this will not be enough to replace Mideast Gulf supply. But they stressed that jet fuel values have completely detached from fundamentals. Although they were reluctant to make short-term forecasts on the jet fuel market given the volatility, they agreed that values will rapidly drop if the conflict de-escalates.

Rare ARA-east gasoline booking hints at growing demand
Rare ARA-east gasoline booking hints at growing demand
London, 5 March (Argus) — A rare high-volume gasoline cargo booking from Amsterdam-Antwerp-Rotterdam (ARA) to Singapore, even though it failed today, signals growing demand east of Suez for European oil products as the Iran war disrupts Asia-Pacific gasoline balances. Trading firm Gunvor's chartering arm Clearlake booked a Long Range 2 (LR2) vessel on 4 March to load gasoline at ARA for Singapore delivery, but it was cancelled today, according to sources. The Sti Connaught had been put on subjects — provisionally booked — to load 90,000t of gasoline from the UK Continent or ARA on 9 March for Singapore delivery, according to a fixture seen by Argus . The reason for the failure was not immediately known. But the rare booking could suggest interest east of Suez for European gasoline is increasing as buyers look beyond the Mideast Gulf to secure supply, according to market participants. Europe to Singapore product flows are uncommon, one Singapore-based analyst said. European gasoline deliveries to Singapore stood at just 114,000t between 2022-2025, according to Kpler. In comparison, Mideast Gulf deliveries to Singapore were at 619,000t in the same period, according to Kpler. Prompt Asian gasoline prices surged further during regional trading hours today as concerns mounted over Chinese export availability, tightening supply in an already short market, while additional reports of cargo cancellations from Japan or India also supported values. Traders in Asia-Pacific are starting to look far afield to source product for the region. Highlighting the severity of the supply tightness in Asia-Pacific, ExxonMobil, in an extremely rare move, booked two Medium Range (MR) tankers provisionally from the US Gulf to Australia on 4 March, likely carrying 92 RON spec unleaded gasoline, at $6mn lumpsum each, or $157.89/t. A gasoline cargo of an undisclosed size was also booked for Australia loading in Barcelona, an analyst told Argus today, although it could not be confirmed. Higher freight rates for oil products tankers since the Iran war broke out on 28 March were holding traders back from booking European gasoline or naphtha cargoes for destinations east of Suez at the start of the week . The Japan-bound LR2 rate from the Mideast Gulf surged to the five-year high of WS435 ($98.53/t) on 4 March, a 117.5pc leap from WS200 ($45.30/t) on 27 February. The LR1 rate on the route climbed to WS440 ($99.66/t), a 100pc jump from WS220 ($49.83/t) over the same period. Similarly, the Mideast Gulf to the UK Continent LR2 rate reached a five-year high of lump sum $8.7mn — with the previous high at $8.8mn on 27 April 2020 — and the LR1 rate reached a two-year high of lump sum $6.5mn — with the previous high at $7.4mn on 31 January 2024. But a widening spread between Singapore 92 Ron front-month swaps and physical non-oxy gasoline barges in Europe could make the trade economics more favourable, even though increased oil products movements on that route may lift freight rates further. Singapore 92 Ron front-month swaps were at a $7.52/bl premium to European non-oxy gasoline barges yesterday, a three-year high, according to Argus calculations.

Iran war collapses visibility in European jet market
Iran war collapses visibility in European jet market
London, 5 March (Argus) — Extreme volatility triggered by the war in the Mideast Gulf has collapsed price visibility in the European jet fuel market, leaving participants unable to agree on price levels, traders told Argus at Thursday's close. "No one knows" what level to trade jet fuel in Europe because the paper market is moving too quickly, one European trader said. Another described the market as "stupidly wild" and "incredibly unclear". Two traders said over-the-counter liquidity still appears robust, but bid-offer ranges had blown out, creating large intraday discrepancies in swap values. Argus received March jet swap indications between $280/t and $450/t on Thursday. Argus assessed the March swap at a $330/t premium to front-month Ice gasoil futures, up by $50/t from the previous close, based on market indications. Jet swaps have been breaking records since Tuesday. Several other jet spreads are also at all-time highs. Jet fuel is trading at more than twice the price of Ice Brent and over $20/bl above diesel. The conflict is threatening supply routes and disrupting tanker movements, putting up to 50pc of European jet supply at risk. Even so, traders say jet values have broken away from fundamentals, with many describing the market as "crazy".
