We are deeply honoured to be recognised as Best Consulting Firm 2026 at the Spanish Business Awards 2026 by EU Business News. This award is not only a recognition of Enerdealers’ work, but a reflection of the collective effort, trust, and commitment of an extraordinary ecosystem that has supported us throughout our journey.

The Iran war and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz have not caused a total supply breakdown for Europe, but they have clearly redrawn the continent’s diesel and gasoline map. The result is a faster shift toward the United States, Norway, the United Kingdom, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, India, and regional European hubs, while Gulf‑linked flows have become more expensive, slower, and less reliable.

Baku Energy Week 2026 arrived with the familiar choreography of an industry showcase, but this year’s edition carried a sharper edge. Held from 1 to 3 June in Azerbaijan’s capital, the gathering once again placed the Caspian state at the center of a dense conversation about gas supply, infrastructure, investment, and the slow, uneven evolution of the energy transition.

The 48th ASEAN Summit in Cebu was not just another diplomatic gathering. It became a stress test for Southeast Asia’s energy system as leaders confronted the spillover effects of the Middle East conflict, rising oil prices and the strategic risk of disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The United Arab Emirates’ decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+ marks one of the biggest ruptures in oil diplomacy in decades, and it comes at a time when the market is already strained by the Iran war and tight spare capacity. For traders, suppliers, and buyers, the key takeaway is not an immediate supply shock but a structural shift: the UAE is breaking free from quotas to pursue its own production strategy, and that changes the balance inside OPEC and the wider industry.

The main message from the FT Commodities Global Summit in Lausanne was that the market is no longer being shaped by supply and demand alone. Traders, producers and policymakers are now operating in a world defined by geopolitics, sanctions risk, tariffs, de-dollarisation, shifting alliances and increasingly volatile trade routes. Reuters’ coverage from the summit shows a sector that is still profit-driven, but far more cautious about where barrels, cargoes and capital will fl

Europe has no shortage of hydrogen ambition. What it still lacks is the combination of regulation, infrastructure, demand certainty, and financing needed to turn plans into bankable projects at scale. That is the gap the new European Resilience Alliance for Clean Hydrogen & Derivatives, or ERA, wants to close.

The Iran war has moved from a geopolitical event to an industrial market shock. In a matter of days, it disrupted oil, gas, fertilizer and petrochemical flows, then pushed the consequences deep into agriculture, manufacturing and global trade. For decision makers, the key issue is no longer whether prices moved. It is how fast the shock cascaded through supply chains, which products were hit first, and how long the disruption may last.

Since early 2022, the Russia–Ukraine war and the escalating Iran–Israel confrontation have combined into a twin shock that has redrawn the global energy map. Together they have fractured long‑standing trade routes, birthed parallel market systems, and injected structural volatility into pricing, logistics, and policy.

As crude and LNG flows out of the Gulf are choked by attacks and the near‑closure of the Strait of Hormuz, governments and corporates are reframing renewable energy from a climate option to a national security imperative. This article unpacks what the conflict means for oil and gas balances, how it is reshaping risk premia and supply strategies, and why it is turbo‑charging investment narratives around renewables and storage.

Spain’s green hydrogen story is moving from strategy papers to bankable reality. The latest milestone is Brussels’ approval of a 440 million euro Spanish aid scheme to support renewable hydrogen production through the European Hydrogen Bank’s “Auctions‑as‑a‑Service” (AaaS) mechanism. This second Spanish participation under the AaaS framework is financed with Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRTR) funds and is explicitly tailored to scale industrial‑grade electrolysis capacity.

For petroleum markets, “Middle East risk” is not a headline—it’s a transmission mechanism. When conflict intensifies around the Persian Gulf and its maritime chokepoints, prices don’t move only on barrels lost; they move on barrels that might not move, ships that won’t sail, and insurance that won’t clear.

Hydrogen is moving from vision to execution in the European Union: by early 2026 the regulatory framework for renewable (“green”) and low‑carbon hydrogen is largely in place, key funding pillars are operational, but real delivered volumes and infrastructure still lag far behind the 2030 targets of 10 million tonnes of domestic renewable hydrogen and 10 million tonnes of imports.

Spain’s biofuels industry is entering a scale‑up phase in which advanced HVO, SAF and biomethane are set to become the main growth and value drivers, while legacy FAME biodiesel and 1G ethanol stabilize under stricter sustainability and ILUC rules.

Crude oil, refined products and LNG reach global markets through a complex network of pipelines, tanker routes and strategic chokepoints. This article maps the world's primary energy transport corridors, their capacities, vulnerabilities and trading implications. Understanding how barrels and cargoes move—or get rerouted—directly impacts spreads, cracks and compliance strategies in today's sanctioned, volatile markets.

India has successfully shipped its first fuel cargo to Europe since the European Union's ban on petroleum products derived from Russian crude took effect on January 21, 2026. Reliance Industries, India's largest refiner, partially offloaded a jet fuel shipment at Italy's Fiumicino port, signaling potential continuity in trade flows despite heightened sanctions. This development comes as global markets watch closely for disruptions in refined product supplies.

The year 2026 finds the global energy system at a crossroads defined by geopolitical fragmentation, accelerating decarbonization, and persistent market volatility. Major shocks of the early 2020s—most notably the post‑pandemic demand rebound, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the ongoing restructuring of global trade flows—have fundamentally altered the set of assumptions that governed energy markets for decades.

The white paper Industrial Transformation in ASEAN: A Cluster-Driven Model for Regional and Global Collaboration examines South-East Asia’s rapid industrial growth while navigating rising energy demand and the energy transition. ASEAN is home to over 670 million people and is the world’s fifth-largest economy. As its economies expand, dependence on fossil fuels, fragmented policies and high financing costs risk undermining energy security, competitiveness and resilience.

Emerging economies are estimated to account for over 90% of global energy demand growth annually. Between keeping the lights on and keeping emissions down lies a defining economic challenge of how to fund this surge at a time of narrowing fiscal space. Will emerging economies fuel the next energy era or be left in the dark by a financing shortfall?

Fossil fuels are no longer optional in the near term, yet their long-term dominance is increasingly questioned; biofuels and clean fuels are emerging as strategic bridges; and the energy transition’s contours are reshaping investment flows, infrastructure priorities, and risk management frameworks for energy and commodity traders.
