Bitumen standards lowered after supply caught in Strait of Hormuz

Drivers could soon be travelling on roads built for US and European climates, as supply disruptions force governments to change the standard of bitumen used in Australia. 

Diesel and jet fuel prices are about to surge — not because we're running out of crude, but because the Iran conflict has exposed a critical refining bottleneck. With ~1.5M bpd of processing capacity offline and limited substitution options, this is a structural shift in global energy markets.

With Ras Laffan's LNG trains destroyed (3-5 year repairs) and a 14-16M barrel/day oil shortfall, this isn't a disruption—it's a structural supply shock policy tools can't offset. https://post.kapualabs.com/2p9x8utc #EnergyCrisis #StraitOfHormuz #LNG #Geopolitics
