India needs to review some of its financing rules and develop a stronger talent pipeline to achieve its ambitious goal of expanding nuclear ‌power capacity to 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2047, officials and industry executives said on Wednesday (Sept. 2). India's sovereign green bond framework, green deposit and financing rules need to be reviewed as they currently do not cover nuclear investments, according to the ⁠government think tank NITI Aayog. India last year opened its tightly controlled nuclear sector to private companies in a bid to attract foreign technology and investment. The South Asian nation expects that the industry will require nearly US$ 210 billion of investment to expand capacity from the current level of 8.8 GW. Global financial institutions, including the World Bank, have started reviews to support investments into nuclear projects, Karandikar said at PowerGen India's ‌event ⁠in New Delhi. The shortage of specialised education and training is a major concern, industry executives said.

The governments of Uruguay and Argentina are trying to contain tensions surrounding the green hydrogen and synthetic fuels plant that HIF Global plans to build in the Uruguayan department of Paysandú, on the Uruguay River, after a statement by President Yamandú Orsi drew three consecutive denials from the Argentine side. The project, valued at some US$ 5.4 billion and presented as the largest foreign investment in Uruguay's history, would produce e-fuels from green hydrogen generated with renewable energy and carbon dioxide sourced from biomass chains. It envisages around 3,000 direct jobs and a first phase of about US$ 1 billion. The original location, some 3 kilometres from the Entre Ríos city of Colón and facing its shoreline, drew objections in Argentina, led by Entre Ríos Governor Rogelio Frigerio, over the potential visual impact on tourism and pollution of the waterway. After bilateral negotiations that included two meetings at Uruguay's foreign ministry, in November and April, the parties agreed to relocate the plant to a site belonging to the state oil company Ancap.

Burckhardt Compression (headquartered in Switzerland) has secured 2 orders for the Petrobras Boaventura Energy Complex for the supply of 6 Process Gas Compressor packages and related services. The orders mark an important milestone in the company's strategy to expand its presence in South America's growing energy market. The compressor packages were ordered by Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies responsible for executing three parallel projects within the Boaventura Energy Complex in Itaboraí (state of Rio de Janeiro). The equipment will be used in natural gas processing as well as new refining and lubricant production units. Formerly known as Comperj, the Boaventura Energy Complex is a key element of Petrobras' decarbonization strategy. The site combines cleaner natural gas processing with future initiatives in green hydrogen research and biorefining projects focused on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), making it one of Brazil's most important energy infrastructure projects.

Amos Global Energy CEO Ali Moshiri (former President of Chevron Africa and Latin America), recently said on CNBC TV (USA) that one of the biggest advantages of the US/Venezuela oil deal will be that Venezuelan oil can reach U.S. refiners without passing through shipping corridors such as the Strait of Hormuz. “It comes down to energy security for the USA. If you consider that Venezuela has the largest resource and it doesn’t have the choke point that we have seen in the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, and Black Sea,” he said. Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves, and unlike Gulf barrels, they reach U.S. refiners without transiting maritime corridors impacted by conflict in the Middle East. The challenge with Venezuelan oil is the operational complexity: “The idea is great. The challenge is going to be implementation, human capacity, operational experience, and so forth, and how all of this is going to come together,” Moshiri said.
