International Fertilizer Association (IFA)’s Post

Discussions on Crude in the age of energy transitions. Fuelling current economies to help ensure a cleaner energy mix in the future.

I was thrilled being part of the Critical Minerals International Alliance webinar earlier this week. Thanks Olimpia Pilch and Jeff Townsend for organizing, and thanks David Livingstone, Terry Garde and Rosanna Tufo for being fantastic co-panelists. Can artisanal and small scale #mining be part of the #criticalminerals solution. The answer - a resounding yes. 🎉 #ASM formalization increases productivity by 2X, 3X or even 5X sometimes while also delivering significant shifts in social outcomes. #mininginvestment and #impactinvestment that supports formalization is commercially realistic given the combination of value and impact that is created 🎉 ASM is huge - the sector already plays important economic roles for many critical minerals and can grow significantly 🎉 professionalization in the sector is a geopolitical opportunity - productivity growth in a sector that has been largely invisible 🎉 misconceptions around the nature of ASM need to be eliminated - artisanal miners are inherently legal, productivity growth supports returns, risks are managed through diversified portfolios of projects across countries and minerals The Blended Capital Group and our partners are committed to reimagining outcomes in ASM. Results make commercial, social and geopolitical sense as stable predictable business relationships increase tonnage, development, value and dignity.

⛏️ The CMIA was delighted to host an insightful discussion on the role of ASM in critical minerals supply chains. 🎥 Watch the recording here | https://lnkd.in/eYDzvKf6 The discussion focused on key themes: - Tackling misconceptions with education to raise awareness  - Incentivising finance and impact investment to help support professionalisation  - The journey of formalisation of the sector and flexible legal frameworks  - Creation of reliable offtake purchasing and stable predictable relationships  - Driving greater supply chain transparency in the context of geopolitics and investor confidence including space observation  - Collaboration rather than allocation of responsibility to a single stakeholder  - Inclusion at grassroots levels A big thank you to our wonderful panellists for sharing their insights and expertise!

Svelland Capital had joined Bloomberg Surveillance on 5 June to discuss the market's initial reaction following the OPEC+ meeting, how our view differs, and how we see oil demand going forward.

Fresh off the press! Dive into my latest evaluation of the distillate market, sourced from the Sparta Commodities platform.    Global cracks move up in response to continuing low distillate stocks. Middle Eastern arbs turn decisively West reflected in the wide position of the E/W. At some point, the large amount of East of Suez resupply pointing West allied with a reduced European maintenance season and flagging demand should be expected to put a ceiling on ICE GO cracks!   For a more in-depth exploration, read the detailed commentary here: https://lnkd.in/e6-nUhzY   If you'd like to share your thoughts or have any questions, feel free to connect with me.    #oott #oilandgas #commoditytrading #fintech #trading #distillate #insight #data
