Odborníci varují, že sucho v Polsku může být jedním z nejhorších v zaznamenané historii. Nedostatek vláhy se promítne i do cen potravin. „Není to žádné opakování z loňska, ale úplně nový zásah. Letos můžeme zažít jedno z největších such, jaké kdy v Polsku nastalo,“ řekl deníku profesor Stanisław Karpiński ze zemědělské univerzity SGGW ve Varšavě.
Jeho předpověď potvrzují i údaje meteorologů a vodohospodářů. Průměrná teplota byla v březnu vyšší a srážky ani ne poloviční. Projevuje se to i na výšce hladiny řeky Visly ve Varšavě. Obvykle mohutná řeka má teď na výšku jen 78 centimetrů a o víkendu může klesnout pod 70. Průměrný stav je přitom 215 centimetrů. Hydrologické sucho už teď panuje v zemi na 35 místech.

Historická dohoda o snížení celosvětové produkce ropy a stabilizaci jejích cen, vedená rekordními škrty ze strany Saúdské Arábie a Ruska, je v ohrožení.
Překážkou v dokončení dohody je Mexiko, které odmítá souhlasit s navrženým snížením těžby.

Bruno Latour o koronakrizi a klimaticke krizi

Think about it. Imagine that President Macron came to announce, in a Churchillian tone, a package of measures to leave gas and oil reserves in the ground, to stop the marketing of pesticides, to abolish deep ploughing, and, with supreme audacity, to ban outdoor heaters on bar terraces. If the gas tax triggered the yellow-vests revolt, then imagine the riots that would follow such an announcement, setting the country ablaze. And yet, the demand to protect the French people for their own good and from death is infinitely more justified in the case of the ecological crisis than in the case of the health crisis, because it affects literally everyone, not a few thousand people – and not for a time but forever.

It is clear that such a state does not exist — and maybe fortunately so. What is more worrying is that we do not see how that state would prepare the move from the one crisis to the next. In the health crisis, the administration has the very classic educational role and its authority coincides perfectly with the old national borders – the archaism of the sudden return to European borders is painful proof of this. In the case of ecological change, the relationship is reversed: it is the administration that must learn from a multiform people, on multiple scales, what will be the territories upon which people are trying to survive in many new ways as they seek to escape from globalized production. The present state would be completely incapable of dictating measures from above. If in the health crisis, it is the brave people who must relearn to wash their hands and cough into their elbows as they did in primary school, in the case of the ecological mutation, it is the state that finds itself in a learning situation.

Platts odhaduje, že cena vodíku (při započtení investičních výdajů) vyrobeného parním reformováním metanu se aktuálně v Japonsku pohybuje kolem 2,08 USD/kg (zhruba 49 EUR/MWh) a v Nizozemsku kolem 1,04 EUR/kg (zhruba 26 EUR/MWh). Pro jižní Kalifornii odhaduje cenu vodíku vyráběného pomocí elektrolýzy vody na 1,99 USD/kg (zhruba 47 EUR/MWh).
Pro srovnání, cena „čistého“ vodíku se aktuálně podle výzkumníků z BloombergNEF (BNEF) pohybuje mezi 2,5 a 4,5 USD/kg. Ve své optimitické projekci BNEF odhaduje, že při započtení nákladů na skladování a přepravu by cena za „čistý“ vodík v Číně, Indii a západní Evropě mohla spadnout až k 2 USD/kg (zhruba 47 EUR/MWh) v roce 2030 a následně na 1 USD/kg (zhruba 23 EUR/MWh) v roce 2050.

This is a story I think I understand of dominoes tipping over for world oil. Thoughts welcome.

COVID-19 slowed economic activity, which reduced demand for fossil fuels.

Oil began to be in oversupply and price threatened to fall. Saudi Arabia got in a squabble with Russia over production cuts and decided to retaliate by increasing production.

World storage is filling up, soon there won't be any place to store the over production.

Oil price has fallen creating hard times for many producers.

"While key global benchmarks Brent and WTI were trading on the futures market in the $20s on 27 March, West Texas Light at Midland sold for $9.40/bbl on the physical market. And Canadian heavy crude oil sold for less than $6/bbl. IHS Markit projects Brent prices to fall to around $10/bbl in April. Some producers may experience “negative prices” where they pay a buyer to take their crude oil." https://www.worldoil.com/news/2020/3/31/ihs-markit-sees-forced-oil-production-cuts-of-10mmbpd-ahead

When storage gets full (pretty soon) then some production will have to halt. The term is "shut-in" and oil extraction leases often have shut-in clauses that require the lessee to pay a shut-in fee in lieu of pumping oil.

"Stripper wells" are oil wells that are reaching end of life, they run on old equipment and have low production. If they are shut-in they are likely never to be restarted. It might be better to terminate the lease than pay a fee. Their physical equipment might not restart either.

11% of US oil production comes from stripper wells.

It seems possible that we could come out of COVID with a permanent reduction in US oil production capacity.

Since growth in US oil is a key factor keeping world oil production growing, could COVID be the world's peak oil event?

As the lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus in India continues, pollution levels across much of the country have dropped sharply. Now some residents in northern India say they can see the snow-capped Himalayas 200 kilometres away for the first time in 30 years.

U.S. shale executives immediately went to Washington. Continental Resources’ CEO Harold Hamm, who personally lost billions of dollars as his company’s stock price dropped, reached out to the Trump administration for government help. Ideas have ranged from a tariff on imported crude in response to the Saudi-Russian price war, to low interest loans for drillers, to the Department of Energy buying oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
President Trump announced the SPR purchase to much fanfare, but the idea did not survive in the stimulus bill’s final passage. Neither did the low interest loans, at least not directly, although the $500 billion for American businesses impacted by the coronavirus (which some have called a “slush fund”) could function as a bailout for shale drillers.
