Fifteen bilingual analyses on supply, delivered cost, resilience, infrastructure and transition. Open each dossier to read the full text and its sources.
For an industrial buyer in Morocco, the right question is not simply "what is the product price?" but "what is the delivered cost, with what continuity, quality and risk profile?" Morocco consumed 12.867 million tonnes of…
For an industrial buyer, the lowest quoted price is not necessarily the lowest cost. Delivered cost combines the product reference with FX, freight, port and terminal charges, storage, inventory financing, inland logistics,…
Supply security is measured at the point of use, not by supplier count or the capacity printed on a tank. The decisive question for an industrial site is whether specification-compliant product will become usable again before…
Petroleum storage creates value when it makes compliant product accessible in the right place, at the right time and at a justified cost. Announced capacity proves neither that product is present nor that a buyer can withdraw it…
A terminal is not bankable simply because its tanks are useful or its market is growing. Bankability requires credible commitments and deliverable operations that generate enough cash to support financing, including under…
Fuel logistics cost is not just a road-haul tariff. For an industrial site, performance depends on actual deliverable throughput, cycle time, terminal and site slots, waiting time, product integrity and credible contingency…
A quality deviation can immobilize product at exactly the point when the site needs it. Visible costs include disputed inventory, additional testing and replacement. Less visible consequences can include idle crews, rescheduled…
Because bidders may not price the same boundary. One may include final transport and waiting time; another may quote ex-terminal; a third may use an indexed formula with a different fixing lag. If procurement compares only the…
Distance is only one part of the problem. A remote site may depend on a port, terminal, seasonal road, border post, specialized carrier and onsite storage. Each interface adds time and a failure mode. Continuity should therefore…
A terminal, depot, onsite storage system or energy asset exists to deliver a measurable service: volume, availability, throughput, quality, flexibility or resilience. Before selecting a concept, define who will use the asset, at…
The best kilowatt-hour or litre to decarbonise is often the one no longer needed. Build a baseline by use: production, utilities, heat, cooling, compressed air, pumping, mobility and backup. Separate energy consumption, peak…
A BESS stores a quantity of energy and releases it subject to a power limit. Two systems with the same MW can have very different duration; two systems with the same MWh can serve different peaks. Power, energy, efficiency,…
In ANRE’s publication, hosting capacity describes the capacity the power system can integrate based on the framework and studies behind the publication. It is presented by year, technology and network level. It helps market…
Differences in market size, energy mix, currencies, infrastructure, regulators, ports, taxation, contract enforceability and funding availability change the economics of every opportunity. A thesis that works in a coastal…
Because two offers can push very different amounts of cash onto the buyer. A MAD 30/m³ discount may look attractive, but if it requires 30 extra days of prepayment on material volume, financing cost can absorb part of the saving.…
