Oil Price move on Saudi USA relations

Oil prices could surge to all-time highs if the U.S. imposes economic sanctions against Saudi Arabia, according to Saudi Arabia-based Al Arabiya television.

The warning from Al Arabiya's Turki Aldakhil comes amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and America. Now the Turkish authorities claim Khashoggi was murdered and his body was removed. Saudi Arabia has publicly and fiercely denied that allegation.

Many are asking why the Saudis have acted in such a manner but their recent history is not good. In recent years there have been the following events with the Saudis

  • Qatar Blockade
  • Kidnap Lebanese PM
  • War in Yemen
  • A stupid argument with Canada
  • The Royal shakedown at The Ritz Carlton

If U.S. sanctions are imposed on Saudi Arabia, we will be facing an economic disaster that would rock the entire world, similar to the crash in 2008.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is hoping on Saudi Arabia to curtail soaring energy prices and help offset lost Iranian oil supply.

It would lead to Saudi failure to commit to producing 7.2 million barrels. If the price of oil reaching $80 a barrel which angered the current President Donald Trump.

The price per barrel is expected to soar and reach highs of 150-200 a barrel.

Industrial wood pellets are trading at an all-time high.

EcoCrops International reports that Industrial wood pellets, as opposed to domestic wood pellets, are currently trading at an all-time high.  With the Argus 90 day Industrial wood pellet index trading at US$210 per tonne, up strongly from July 2018 where they were trading at US$175. The steep increase in prices is primarily driven by higher demand from European Power Stations.  Such as new power station coming online in the Netherland, Belgium, and Italy.  And existing Power stations such as the huge UK Drax power station burning more wood pellets and burning less coal. This trend is set to increase due to a number of factors: The EU climate change targets for reducing its greenhouse emissions, transforming the EU carbon-based fuel (coal) police towards a low carbon economy by 2050.  With targets for the reductions of greenhouse emissions is set for 2020 and 2030. Germany’s plant to phase out all coal power stations by 2038.  And the increased efficiency of carbon capture a

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Small amounts for everyday uses A Bitcoin wallet is like a wallet with cash.

British Power Generator Drax creates world first Carbon Capture on its wood pellet power plant

Drax’s wood pellet power station has started to capture all C02 produced from the combustion of its wood pellets feedstock. A small demonstration plant located in a facility near Selby, North Yorkshire is capturing the C02 by using an amine-free solvent-based process called C-capture. C-capture was developed by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Drax who invested £400,000 in developing the plant. The Director of Engineering of C-Capture. Said “Working at this scale is really where the engineering gets interesting. The challenge now is to get all the information we need to design and build a capture plant 10,000 times bigger. It’s only really when we get to those sorts of scales that we can start to have an impact on the climate.”  James Grainger of Ecocrops Internationa l said the implication for the wood pellet market is enormous as it will change wood pellets from being carbon neutral fuel source to being carbon positive fuel source. www.ecocropsinternational.com
