Ukraine has attacked Russian oil infrastructure with drones for the second day in a row,with the latest strike causing a fire to break out at oil giant Rosneft’s largest refinery, Reuters reported yesterday. The fire at the Rosneft refinery forced a shutdown at two oil refining units, while another refinery in Rostov saw a temporary pause before resuming operations, sources told the newswire. Ukraine fired dozens of drones and missiles at Russian oil facilities on Tuesday, yielding critical damage to a Lukoil-owned refinery. Concerns over disruptions to oil supplies on the back of the latest wave of attacks drove a 2% increase in oil prices, the newswire also said.

The US has unveiled a new strategy to integrate EV charging stations and hydrogen fueling infrastructure along key road freight corridors, Bloomberg reports. The move seeks to decarbonize US supply chains with long-haul trucks carrying over 70% of freight in the country. There are also plans to establish an affordable charging and hydrogen refueling network for heavy trucks by 2040. Officials want to support the integration of zero-emission 18-wheelers to reduce fuel costs and pollution along highways with heavy traffic. There are only 92 charging stations capable of supporting heavy trucks presently available across the country.

What they said: “This is a big move to deliver environmental justice; 75% of heavy truck traffic travels on just 4% of our nation’s roads, jeopardizing the health of our more vulnerable communities,” White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi told Bloomberg.
