市場の動向:イラン戦争が世界のエネルギー供給を混乱させる中、欧州は数週間以内にジェット燃料不足に直面する見込み

By

-- 国際エネルギー機関(IEA)事務局長は木曜日、欧州のジェット燃料の残量がわずか6週間分しかない可能性があると警告したと報じられた。イランとの紛争によるエネルギー供給の制約が続けば、航空便の運航に深刻な影響が出る恐れがある。 IEAのファティ・ビロル事務局長はAP通信とのインタビューで、この状況を現代史上最も深刻なエネルギー危機と表現し、世界のエネルギー輸送にとって重要な動脈であるホルムズ海峡を通る石油・ガスの流れが途絶えたことがその原因だと述べた。 「近いうちに、ジェット燃料不足のためにA都市からB都市へのフライトが欠航になるというニュースを聞くことになるだろう」とビロル事務局長は語った。 供給ショックはすでに世界中で燃料、ガス、電気料金の高騰を引き起こしており、状況が長引けば長引くほど、より広範な経済的影響が深刻化すると予想される。ビロル事務局長は、インフレ圧力と経済成長の鈍化が複数の地域で起こりうると警告した。 すべての国が影響を受けるだろうが、特にアジア、アフリカ、ラテンアメリカの発展途上国に大きな負担がかかるだろうと彼は述べた。 「国によって経済力やエネルギー資源に差はあるかもしれないが、この危機から免れる国は一つもない」と彼は語った。 ホルムズ海峡の完全な再開を保証する解決策がなければ、石油製品の不足が悪化し、世界のサプライチェーンにさらなる負担がかかる可能性があると彼は警告した。 ビロル氏はまた、イランがホルムズ海峡を通過する船舶に「通行料」制度を導入しているとの報道に懸念を示し、他の戦略的な航路にも危険な前例となる可能性があると警告した。 「一度変更すれば、元に戻すのは難しいかもしれない」と彼は述べた。「ある場所では通行料制度が適用されるのに、別の場所では適用されないというのは、難しいだろう」と、アジアの主要航路を例に挙げて語った。 一方、紛争によるエネルギーインフラへの物理的な被害は、たとえ敵対行為が緩和されたとしても、危機を長期化させる可能性がある。ビロル氏によると、この地域では80以上の主要エネルギー施設が被害を受け、そのうち3分の1以上が深刻な破壊に見舞われている。 同氏は、100隻以上の石油タンカーと数隻の液化天然ガス(LNG)タンカーがペルシャ湾で座礁したままとなっており、エネルギー不足の緩和に貢献する能力が制限されていると述べた。 ビロル氏は、楽観的な状況下でも、エネルギー生産を戦前の水準に戻すには数ヶ月、あるいは最長で2年かかる可能性があると述べた。 「戦前の水準に戻るには、最長で2年かかるだろう」と同氏は語った。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)

Crude Oil Prices Rise on Stalled U.S.-Iran Peace Talks

Crude oil prices rose on Monday as talks to end the war between the U.S. and Iran remain frozen and flows through the crucial Strait of Hormuz continue to be disrupted.Brent crude at last look gained 2.7% to US$108.17/barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 2.4% to $96.63/barrel. The U.S. and Iran appear to still be far apart on issues including Iran's nuclear ambitions and the reopening of the strait, Reuters said in a Monday report."The diplomatic stand-off means that every day 10-13 million barrels of oil fail to get to the international market, worsening an already tight oil balance. Therefore, there is only one direction for oil prices to go," Reuters quoted PVM Oil Associates analyst Tamas Varga as saying.Goldman Sachs raised its fourth-quarter oil price forecasts to $90/barrel for Brent and $83/barrel for WTI, citing reduced output from the Middle East, the report said.

Japan Resorts to More Coal, Nuclear During Energy Crisis Sidelines Renewables, Says IEEFA

Japan is leaning on higher nuclear output and ramping up use of coal in power generation as contingency measures in the face of the global energy crisis, but these measures are simultaneously smothering renewables, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis said on Monday.Temporary increased use of coal was decided upon to reduce the need for now-scarce LNG while the restart of some nuclear power plants is also providing additional resilience to supply shocks which have hit Asian nations hardest.IEEFA said this risks displacing domestic renewable energy which can supply just as much energy security but lower cost and it could also increase curtailment and undermine investment in more renewables, up-ending progress on decarbonization.Most of Japan's coal imports, about 71%, come from Australia, making it a safe option that reduces exposure to disrupted Middle Eastern logistics, the IEEFA report noted.But a shortage of diesel for plant operations at J-Power's Matsuura 2 gigawatt coal-fired power station slashed its output by 50% while the JFE Steel Fukuyama facility was halted over a shortage of heavy oil, underscoring that coal is not fully detached from oil and gas's geopolitical risk.Japan typically imports 4 million tons of LNG that pass through the Strait of Hormuz each year, representing about 6% of its total imports.As of March, 15 of Japan's 36 nuclear reactors were operating, as that sector recovers from the multiple impacts of the Fukushima disaster.They generate a combined 37 GW. Bringing the remainder online could cut Japan's LNG needs by 12.5 million tonnes, IEEFA said. Regulatory changes in early April were introduced, facilitating more restarts.Backing up its argument that more coal and nuclear, both less flexible power sources, could increase curtailment of renewables, IEEFA said that each nuclear restart in Japan has been followed by a reduction in renewables generation.Curtailments in Japan have risen to 1.9 terrawatt hours by 2023, up from 100 GWh in 2018. In the first half of 2025, curtailments were faster still at 1.7 terrawatt hours for a six-month period.The fact that output from coal and nuclear can not rapidly be increased or slowed means it can be difficult to make room for renewable supply on the grid when its output rises.IEEFA said that limitations in Japan's grid infrastructure is an additional constraint that limits absorption of renewable power and led to a situation in March where it curtailed renewables while importing power from abroad.IEEFA suggests that the addition of battery storage to the grid could go some way to boosting its flexibility.Curtailment of renewables output has another inherent problem in that it leads to a less favourable economic case for later additions of zero carbon generation capacity, the report said, all the more so because Japan does not compensate renewables suppliers for curtailments, a practice common in Europe.Developers are adding battery storage as a work-around to that, securing contracts that remunerate battery-discharged electricity instead of directly generated then consumed electricity.The addition of batteries adds to project costs however at a time when investor interest has yet to turn into large scale deployment, with erosion of revenue support measures a further deterrent, IEEFA said.
