Rystad Energy表示,霍爾木茲危機推動了清潔交通燃料的轉型。

By

-- Rystad Energy週五發布的一份白皮書指出,霍爾木茲海峽的關閉正在重塑清潔運輸燃料的經濟格局和政策,將原本主要關乎脫碳的努力轉變為各國政府和產業共同關注的能源安全問題。 Rystad分析師表示,戰略水道的中斷正在加速對生物燃料、永續航空燃料以及其他低碳替代能源的投資和政策支持,這些燃料將應用於航運、航空和公路運輸領域。 Rystad Energy生物能源副總裁Thomas Heerschap表示:“霍爾木茲危機證明,能源安全和脫碳並非平行發展,而是正在融合,這更加凸顯了在各個運輸領域使用國產清潔燃料的必要性。” 在航空領域,永續航空燃料正進入Rystad所描述的“政策驅動型成長階段”,並得到歐洲、亞洲和美洲相關政策的支持。 預計到2040年,全球永續航空燃料(SAF)需求將增至約120萬桶/日,其中亞洲的成長最為強勁,這主要得益於航空旅行的擴張和各國政府收緊減排目標。 歐洲的ReFuelEU航空法規要求從2025年起,SAF與傳統航空燃料的混合比例達到2%,到2030年提高到6%。日本的目標是到本十年末,SAF的使用比例達到10%。 然而,由於中東衝突持續,導致航空燃油價格高企和供應中斷,新加坡已將SAF強制摻混比例的實施日期延後至2027年。 Rystad表示,自2025年底以來,隨著中東緊張局勢升級導致原油價格飆升,SAF相對於傳統航空燃油的溢價已大幅收窄。 由於油價上漲推高了傳統航空煤油(Jet A)的價格,其漲幅超過了SAF價格的上漲速度,因此SAF相對於傳統航空煤油的溢價在2025年底達到每噸近2150美元的峰值後,已降至每噸約1040美元。 然而,儘管溢價有所收窄,航空公司仍面臨燃油成本上漲的壓力,導致許多航空公司將可持續航空燃料 (SAF) 的採購量限制在規定範圍內,並推遲自願採購承諾。 能源危機也強化了生質柴油、生質液化天然氣 (bio-LNG) 和生物甲醇作為海運傳統船用燃料替代品的吸引力,即便國際海事組織 (IMO) 的淨零排放框架仍存在監管不確定性。 生物液化天然氣被認為是歐洲 FuelEU 海事法規下最具吸引力的近期合規途徑之一,但其普及仍受限於船舶準備情況和燃料供應有限。 同時,Rystad 表示,新興經濟體正越來越多地利用公路運輸生質燃料強制令來減少對進口原油的依賴,並保護本國貨幣免受油價衝擊。 印度、印尼和巴西透過現有的乙醇和生質柴油摻混計劃,到2026年可合計避免約280億美元的石油進口,在高摻混比例情境下,到2028年,這一節省額可能超過330億美元。 光是印尼的B40生質柴油強制摻混計劃,在布蘭特原油價格為每桶95美元的情況下,今年就可減少約135億美元的柴油進口成本;而印度的E20乙醇計劃則可避免64億美元的原油進口。 隨著亞洲各國政府日益將生物燃料視為更廣泛的能源安全戰略的一部分,馬來西亞、越南和菲律賓也在擴大摻混比例。 然而,Rystad表示,該行業面臨的最大風險是監管的不確定性,這導致投資決策被推遲,而地緣政治緊張局勢和脫碳目標卻在不斷強化對替代燃料產能的需求。

EMEA Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise Modestly, Weigh Middle East Peace Plan

European natural gas futures ended the session higher on Friday but slipped in later trade, as markets swung between geopolitical risk tied to US-Iran tensions and growing optimism that diplomacy could ease supply concerns.The front-month Dutch TTF contract rose 0.537% to 43.795 euros ($51.56) per megawatt-hour and the front-month UK NBP contract gained 0.187% to 107.07 British pence ($1.46) per therm.Earlier in the session, TTF briefly hit 45.40 euros/MWh before softening on expectations that Tehran may respond to a US peace proposal after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington expects a response "today," according to reports.Supply support came from Norway, where extended maintenance at the Troll field cut flows to Europe, tightening near-term availability, but Equinor also brought the Eirin field online, exporting gas via the Gina Krog and Sleipner A platforms, adding new supply.EU gas inventories stand at 34.26% of capacity, down from 41.58% a year ago, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe, leaving storage rebuilding well behind seasonal norms.Equinor (EQNR) CFO Torgrim Reitan reportedly warned Europe is unlikely to reach its 80% storage target ahead of winter, citing weak price incentives and limited supply growth. Speaking on an analysts' call earlier this week, he said this would leave the market more exposed to weather and operational disruptions.Weather risk is compounding the outlook. Forecasters see a 60-70% chance of El Nino this summer, raising the risk of heat and drought that could disrupt LNG logistics, including transit through the Panama Canal. With storage still low and geopolitical risks elevated, analysts warn that volatility into winter could intensify, Montel News reported.Price: $36.86, Change: $-0.05, Percent Change: -0.15%

Planet Fitness Cuts 2026 Outlook After 'Marketing Missteps,' BofA Says

Planet Fitness (PLNT) is facing a reset in its growth outlook after weaker Q1 sign-ups and "marketing missteps," BofA Securities said Friday in a report.New marketing initiatives need time to gain traction after campaigns skewed too heavily toward fitness-focused customers rather than beginners, with March and April tracking below plans, the report said.The company's 2026 outlook was lowered across revenue, same-club sales, EBITDA and EPS, and avoiding the Black Card price increase may weigh on results, BofA said.Management hired a new creative agency that plans to launch a fresh campaign before year-end to set up the key Q1 2027 membership period, the report said.BofA lowered its rating on Planet Fitness stock to neutral from buy and slashed its price target to $59 from $110.Price: $45.72, Change: $+1.71, Percent Change: +3.89%

HubSpot's Agent-First Go-to-Market Shift Raises Execution Risk, BofA Says

HubSpot (HUBS) is reorienting its go-to-market model to be agent-first, which is strategically sound long term, but the simultaneous shift in pricing, packaging and go-to-market focus introduces significant execution risk and drives the downgrade, BofA Securities said Friday.The brokerage said it expects this to impact investor sentiment until clear traction is proven, which could take multiple quarters.BofA reinstated coverage of HubSpot in March with a buy rating, noting that an AI-agent-led H2 growth reacceleration to 20% warrants a positive re-rating. After Q1 results, BofA believes its bullish call was premature.Net new annual recurring revenue growth was slightly below Q1 revenue growth, with Q2 potentially following the same pattern given the retraining of sales representatives on the new go-to-market model in April, according to the note.The investment firm said HubSpot's guidance continues to imply growth in H2, which shifts the guidance setup towards a "beat and keep" for the next two quarters, as opposed to its prior expectations for a consistent beat and raise cadence.BofA downgraded HubSpot to underperform from buy and lowered the price objective to $180 from $300.Shares of HubSpot were down more than 20% in Friday trading.Price: $193.61, Change: $-50.11, Percent Change: -20.56%
