Ammonia-Urea Energy Saving Project
8Cost - Rs 250 crore
8Project Event: The fact that all is not well within the subsidy-driven urea industry is evident from the inability of this company to go ahead with its ammonia-urea energy saving project. It just does not have the money for it. As per new energy norms of the government, the company's already dire situation will worsen when it begins paying penalties for non-conformance. Delayed payment of subsidy and consequent higher working capital loans have caused many urea companies to report cash flow problems, so much so that even their basic upgradations are now being ignored.

Nowhere is the battle between renewable power and gas-based power more evident than in the US
8For the first time, despite low gas prices, both wind and solar PPA prices are now below the projected cost of burning natural gas in existing gas-fired combined cycle units.
8But this takes into account federal tax credits given to solar and wind.
8Another interesting trend is that the once-wide gap between wind and solar PPA prices has narrowed considerably in recent years, as solar prices have fallen more rapidly than wind prices.
8In India, which is dependent on expensive LNG, gas fired power is in no position to compete with renewable energy.
8Will the scenario change, when gas volumes rise from the KG Basin discoveries of ONGC and RIL? Gas prices from these discoveries will be aligned to the imported price of LNG, which means that prices will continue to remain high

In recent months, the IEA has on many occasions expressed concerns about the health of the global economy.
8As such, it is unsurprising the latest downgrade by the international Monetary Fund of its outlook for global GDP growth in 2019 and 2020 prompted similar downward revisions to oil
 demand.
8This month the IEA has revised its expectations for growth in world oil consumption by 100,000 b/d, down to 1.1 million b/d in 2019 and 1.3 million b/d in 2020. Some trading houses are even more bearish, predicting just 800,000 b/d growth this year.
