Sanctions imposed by EU/G7 countries prohibit the importation of Russian crude oil and oil products. The lack of a policy on refined oil produced from Russian crude has meant that third countries not imposing sanctions can import Russian crude, refine them into oil products and legally export them to price cap coalition countries (PCC). This major loophole has helped stabilise the price of Russian crude and ensured that extortionate revenues keep flowing back to the Kremlin.| Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA)

As early as 2022, the Chinese government set a clear target: to raise the share of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel to 15% of total crude steel production by 2025. The aim was to shift the industry away from its reliance on the carbon-intensive blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace (BF–BOF) route and toward lower-emission, scrap-based EAF steelmaking. Yet, three and a half years later, progress has stalled. EAF production continues to hover around 10%, with utilisation rates and profitabilit...| Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA)
