4. Russian decree on Sakhalin II threatens Japan’s LNG imports

Japan’s LNG imports may be jeopardised by a recent decree signed by the Russian president to give complete control of Sakhalin II (9.6 mtpa) to a new Gazprom subsidiary – Gazprom Sakhalin Holding. In response, Japan will have to use several countermeasures such as increase its nuclear and coal power generation, and introduce curbs on energy consumption to avoid an energy crisis in winter. https://cyprusshippingnews.com/2022/08/08/russian-decree-on-sakhalin-ii-threatens-japans-lng-imports/

5. US Inflation Reduction Act passed by Senate allocates $369bn for clean-energy programs

The Inflation Reduction Act passed on Sunday by the US Senate includes $369bn in investments to advance America’s clean-energy programs, including offshore wind development and projects to reduce emissions at the country’s maritime ports. Three billion dollars have been earmarked over a five-year period for port electrification. (The funds cannot be used to automate container terminals.) https://splash247.com/us-inflation-reduction-act-passed-by-senate-allocates-369bn-for-clean-energy-programs/

7. Largest Offshore Wind Farm in U.S. Wins State Approval

The State of Virignia has given the go ahead for Dominion Energy’s 2.6-gigawatt (GW) Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) farm, the largest offshore wind project currently planned for U.S. waters. CVOW will consist of 176 wind turbines to be constructed 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, generating enough energy to power up to 660,000 homes starting in 2026. https://gcaptain.com/largest-offshore-wind-farm-in-u-s-wins-state-approval/

8. Climate Bill Could Open Up New Waters for Offshore Wind Development

The strong gusts blowing off the coasts of Puerto Rico, Guam and other US territories offer big green energy potential — but for decades, a quirk in federal law meant renewable developers have been barred from tapping them. Now, a tax and climate bill passed by the Senate on Sunday would lift that prohibition, opening coastal waters around the five US territories to offshore wind development and compelling the US Interior Department to pursue potential lease sales there. https://gcaptain.com/climate-bill-could-open-up-new-waters-for-offshore-wind-development/

10. Two more grain ships sail from Ukraine as third port opens

Two more ships, carrying corn and soybeans, departed from Ukrainian Black Sea ports on Monday, Turkey and Ukraine said, taking the total to ten since the first ship sailed last week under a deal with Russia to unblock Ukrainian grain exports. The United Nations and Turkey brokered the agreement last month after warnings the halt in grain shipments caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could lead to severe food shortages and even outbreaks of famine in parts of the world. https://www.shippingtribune.com/news/shipping/Two+more+grain+ships+sail+from+Ukraine+as+third+port+opens
