🔹Iran 🇮🇷 and Turkmenistan 🇹🇲 have signed two cooperation agreements and three MoUs to expand their economic and energy cooperation. Turkmenistan and Iran are two major natural gas producers in the world and have been trading gas for swap delivery purposes for years. Iran advocated for increased collaboration in regional and transregional organizations such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization 🇨🇳🇮🇷🇮🇳🇵🇰🇰🇬🇰🇿🇹🇯🇺🇿🇷🇺.
🔹A contract for imports of 10 million cubic meters (mcm) per day of gas from Turkmenistan to Iran will be signed between the two neighbors very soon. Iran currently imports 10 mcm per day of gas from Turkmenistan under a swap deal that also involves Azerbaijan🇦🇿 . Thus 20 mcm of gas provides a good capacity for trade between the two countries.
🔹Turkmenistan ranks 4th in the world in terms of gas reserves. Iran has the capacity to transport 40-50 million cubic meters of gas daily from the country. Iran incurred a debt of $1.65 billion for importing gas from Turkmenistan during the period of the previous Iranian government (2016-2021). This debt has already been paid in full.
Previously reported on this channel:
💠 Turkmenistan & China are discussing the construction of the fourth branch (D) of the Turkmenistan 🇹🇲-China🇨🇳 gas pipeline.

🔹Ireland’s 🇮🇪 Minister for Agriculture, Charlie McConalogue, confirmed that a cow culling scheme is in the works, where as many as 65,000 cows 🐄 per year might need to be slaughtered between 2023 and 2025. This is to meet 2030 emissions reduction targets and he claims the scheme is voluntary.
🔹The Irish Farmers’ 🚜 Association believe such reports further fuel the view that the gov't is working behind the scenes to undermine their dairy and livestock sectors. Reducing dairy or beef production in Ireland will also lead to production moving to other countries. For example, Brazil🇧🇷 will just produce more and Ireland will end up importing.
🔹Spending vast sums of taxpayer’s money on destroying productive animals would be a perfect summation of the net zero madness infecting the West. Wreaking havoc on livestock 🐂 farming families in the name of climate science is also very short-sighted. Meanwhile, Ireland is spending 43 million euros on a cattle genomics 🧬programme.
🔹Ireland🇮🇪 is the 2nd victim of disastrous EU 🇪🇺 'climate change' policies , after the Netherlands 🇳🇱 . Dutch farmers are undergoing a battle as they face the possibility of 3,000 farms being closed down and restrictions on land area for cattle grazing. Netherlands' gov't claims this is to help the environment from nitrogen pollution.

🔹 Russia's 🇷🇺 Gazprom shipped its first liquefied natural gas cargo via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in the Arctic onboard the vessel Fedor Litke. The tanker was loaded at the Yamal LNG plant in the country's north. The Fedor Litke is led by Rosatom controlled Atomflot FSUE's lead nuclear ☢️ powered icebreaker Arktika (built 2020).
🔹 The NSR is reshaping global energy flows as it now takes half the time for a tanker from Russia to arrive in Asia instead of taking the conventional route through the Suez Canal 🇪🇬. The navigation along the NSR ⚓️ will be fully provided with operational and high-quality ice situation information from a Russian satellite group within the next two years.
🔹 The 2 year term chairing role at the Arctic Council 🇨🇦🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴🇷🇺🇸🇪🇺🇸 (countries with borders that reach the Arctic Ocean, the North Pole) has passed from Russia to Norway. The US is worried over a possible threat to the US that emanates from the Russian Northern Fleet presence in the Arctic.
🔹 Russia wants the NSR, the shortest shipping 🚢 route between East Asia and Europe, to become a major shipping lane and has invested heavily in infrastructure there. Rosatom is discussing with Lukoil and Gazprom Neft oil companies on the possible redirection of part of the Arctic oil🛢 from the west to the east along the NSR.

🔹As Europe pushes for more electrification (electric cars & wind turbines etc.), findings by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden 🇸🇪, on behalf of the European Commission 🇪🇺 warn that this is not feasible. With the current levels of worldwide rare earth elements production, there will not be enough of these metals in future, not even if recycling increases.
🔹The EU now risks making access to the rare earth element neodymium (Nd), difficult for future generations if they are unable to use what is already in circulation. Nd is essential to make permanent magnets for electric motors ⚙️, generators & wind turbines. Nd usage has increased by around 400% since 2006.
🔹Continuous advancements in permanent magnet technology are fueling utilization of alloys containing neodymium and is bolstering market growth. Nd magnets 🧲 help reduce the size and weight of components particularly for wind turbines generators.
🔹Contradictions arise from environmental policies geared towards electrification. A 2 megawatt wind turbine contains about 800 pounds of Nd. A megawatt of direct drive wind turbine capacity may require around 1100 pounds of permanent magnets.
🔹For example, the Bayan’obo district of Inner Mongolia 🇲🇳🇨🇳, has an open pit mine for rare earth's including Nd. Each metric ton of rare-earth element mined there necessitates clearing 3,230 square feet of vegetation and topsoil, and releases 1,000 metric tons of contaminated wastewater and 2,000 metric tons of solid or liquid waste tailings.
🔹Further problems arise as Nd magnets need significant amounts of dysprosium to perform at elevated temperatures; such as in EV's 🚗. Dysprosium relative abundance in the earth’s crust , is less than 1% of all rare earth elements. Alternatives to rare earth-based alloys already exist, but they lack the energy density needed to replace neodymium based magnets. Such alternative magnets will never be more than 60% as powerful as their rare earth counterparts.

🔹German 🇩🇪 business chiefs warn that the country faces electricity shortages that will see critical industries leave after the gov't decided to shut down the last remaining nuclear power plants 🏭 in favour of renewable energy sources. Germany's electricity system remains vulnerable to electricity shortages and price volatility.
🔹Germany's power producers must continue to retool the country's entire power system at a record pace. The German gov't has dismissed such concerns, arguing that Europe's integrated electricity💡network, allows Germany to import electricity when needed.
🔹The German🇩🇪 gov't now plans large agri-solar development, where solar arrays share land with farming. The EU 🇪🇺 common agricultural policy requires 4% of agricultural land to be set aside to promote biodiversity and agri-solar would qualify for this.
🔹High electricity prices 📈 and "renewables" push, now threatens the future viability of Germany's chemical sector (an important segment of its' economy), as most chemical plants run off natural gas or coal, and use crude oil as a major feedstock. German polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is currently trading at nearly 90% more than that of South East Asia. Linear low density polyethylene is trading around 80% above prices offered out of the US🇺🇸 .
🔹Germany's energy regulator, Bundesnetzagentur, warns that despite comfortable levels of natural gas in storage the energy crisis is far from over, and weather will be the biggest factor.

He also visited Türkiye 🇹🇷 where he attended Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s inauguration. This was Maduro’s first visit to the Gulf region since 2015. President Maduro said that during his visit, he had succeeded in strengthening bilateral relations with each of the countries.
🔹The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said MBS and Maduro discussed bilateral cooperation and issues of common interest, but did not give further details. Erdogan also looks to expand relations with Saudi Arabia, his re-election was a relief to many Gulf officials.
🔹This is a reflection that Saudi Arabia is looking to have an independent foreign policy dictated by its national interest. Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are founding members of OPEC. And they can work towards making the oil market less dependent on the US 🇺🇸 and its sanctions regime.

🔹German 🇩🇪 media warns about decoupling from China 🇨🇳 as it would be more dangerous than beneficial for the EU 🇪🇺. Even with a shift away from China, Europe would still be dependent on rare-earth element (REE) imports from places like Africa. As much as 90% of Europe's rare earths are imported from China.
🔹China controls 60% of global production of REE and 85% of the processing capacity. China is considering banning the export of technologies used to produce high-performance rare earth magnets 🧲 citing “national security”. Mining ⛏ REEs causes various types of environmental damage including radioactive waste because of how they are extracted. Processing centres are concentrated largely in China due to special know-how, high costs for processing plants 🏭 & operations.
🔹Africa as a continent can outmatch both China and the West by formulating a new strategic approach towards the REE industry by developing a sound mineral policy through inter-state cooperation in order to get geopolitical leverage in the global mineral market.
🔹African states involved in the REE sector need to consider:
🔸Strengthening tax policy to maximize revenue collection.
🔸Leveraging the African Continental Free Trade Area to maximise value addition.
🔸Using resources strategically to build strong trade partnerships.
Last reported on this channel:
💠 Neodymium permanent magnets for EV's 🚗 & electric motors face multiple supply chain & mining limitations.
💠 European sanctions can backfire if Russia 🇷🇺 closes it's rail cargo route to Europe with REE from China .
💠 Swedish 🇸🇪 discovers a major REE deposit. It will be at least 10-15 years before mined products is brought to market.
