The Transport Ministry <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sana.sy\/en\/economic\/2311803\/\" style=\"\">says<\/a> the grant will finance infrastructure upgrades, new locomotives and equipment, maintenance of existing units, and workforce training across the ministry and the General Establishment for Railways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Connect where things are made to where they\u2019re processed \u2014 and cut costs in between. <\/strong>The priority is linking production zones with industrial centers to reduce transport costs and sharpen competitiveness. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mapping the corridors that matter: <\/strong>Studies are underway to reactivate key routes once financing is locked, including a north-south axis and cross-border links, alongside lines connecting seaports to inland dry ports. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Freight is the real target \u2014 and the sectors are obvious: <\/strong>Rail is positioned as the backbone for agriculture and industry, moving crops and raw materials to factories and pushing finished goods to markets.

Kpler and LSEG data show rising jet fuel inflows into Europe from the US and Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US<\/strong><strong> supply can help \u2014 with limits<\/strong>. \u201cRefineries in America producing jet fuel can be a solution both in the short- and longer-term perspective. Though imports from the USA have already increased, in the USA the jet fuel grade produced is mainly Jet A, while in Europe, Jet A1 is widely used. Jet A has freezing point minus 40 degrees Celsius, while Jet A1 is minus 47 degrees Celsius,\u201d Elnaes adds<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The<\/strong><strong> next answer could be SAF:<\/strong> \u201cIn the medium to longer term Europe may also enforce a strategy to boost production of various types of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), but SAF is 3-5x more expensive than Jet A1, under normal circumstances. But with spot price on Jet A1 peaking around USD 2k per ton in some markets, the price difference between jet fuel and SAF has almost been zeroed out. I am pretty sure Europe in the medium to long term will have a focus on being less dependent on importing jet fuel,\u201d Elnaes says.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--
