  • Exarchou:Europe Enters a “War for LNG Cargoes” With Asia-Methane Rules Face Pressure Winter Race Intensifies

    Exarchou to FT: Europe Enters a “War for LNG Cargoes” With Asia — Methane Rules Face Pressure as Winter Race Intensifies

    Alexandros Exarchou put his finger on the critical dilemma facing Europe ahead of winter 2026–27: when Europe and Asia are competing for the same LNG cargoes, energy security, affordability and regulatory requirements begin to collide. The Financial Times describes a global bidding race that could push Asian LNG prices as high as $35/MMBtu, while Brussels’ debate over delaying parts of the EU methane framework shows how quickly market realities are reshaping energy policy.

  • Europe Is Still Waiting for Cheap Energy — Why It May Never Return as We Knew It

    Europe Is Still Waiting for Cheap Energy — Why It May Never Return as We Knew It

    Prices can fall, renewables are expanding and futures markets often point to further easing. But Europe’s energy system has structurally changed: LNG instead of Russian pipeline gas, massive investment in grids and storage, higher security costs and a permanent geopolitical risk premium. The real question is no longer when gas prices will fall again — but whether Europe can ever return to the low-cost energy model of the previous era.

    Mytilineos to the FT: “Europe Risks Losing the Gallium Race” — METLEN’s Strategic Bet

    METLEN is preparing to produce up to 50 tonnes of gallium annually — enough, according to the company, to cover Europe’s entire current demand. Yet Evangelos Mytilineos is warning of a striking European paradox: the EU wants to reduce its dependence on China, while European buyers continue to favour cheaper Chinese supply.
