@vitol@vitolnews Customers are saying they would prefer an alternative to Russian crude oil at @vitolnews. '1-2m barrels a day could be lost, but a lot depends on Asia’s reaction which will find out more in next few weeks.' Russell Hardy in conversation with @humenm at #FTCommodities
@vitol@vitolnews@humenm Will we see a ration on diesel across Europe? Diesel supplies are a concern. ‘We are expecting more pressure across diesel markets as people look for alternative supplies to Russian supplies.’ Russell Hardy in conversation with @humenm at #FTCommodities. on.ft.com/2ZPm8pe
@vitol@vitolnews@humenm@thomas_m_wilson 'What you ultimately need are market prices set. Set market prices to incentivise the change. The financial market infrastructure is as important as the pipeline and terminal infrastructure.' @abaxx_exchange on creating action on decarbonising the industry at #FTCommodities.
