QUENTIN LETTS: The Colombian's interpreter at Ed Miliband's global energy shindig had a growly voice worthy of any Spaghetti Western bandido
Well that was a bit of a diplomatic floater. Ed Miliband's global energy shindig started yesterday at London 's Lancaster House. The gilt-chandeliered room filled with climate-change illuminati and renewable-energy snoots from every corner of the civilised world. Self-congratulation suffused the air and it was all going swimmingly – they had just taken a delicious thrashing from a Barbadian lady who claimed her island was about to sink under the waves owing to global warming – when a chap from the Trump administration was handed the microphone. He proceeded to tell them that the US of A, under its bracing new management, couldn't give a fig about Net Zero. Washington intended to go on burnin' fossil fuels and anyone who argued to the contrary must have a national death wish. He offered this view as an act of Godly love. Oil and gas were a Christian leg-up to the world's poor and needy. Cue silence. Not a single clap. Nor even a boo. There was just the frigid, absolute noiselessness Lady Bracknell might observe if the under-butler, serving luncheon, dropped a warm pork rissole down her cleavage. Energy secretary Miliband had made the first speech on a morning of glutinous virtue. Hailing the 'distinguished delegates', Red Ed honked and spluttered his way through a spiel about 'the shifting global landscape' and how 'countries need to collaborate' to overcome energy-security problems. 'Shared challenges invite shared solutions,' schnorfed our hero, spraying the front row with spittle as he bared his cow-catcher teeth. 'We are the optimists!' he added. How cruelly this sanguine mood would soon be shattered. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and IEA Executive Director, Fatih Birol, on day one of the Future of Energy Security at Lancaster House in London, Britain, 24 April 2025 Mr Miliband kept referring to his great friend 'Fatty'. This turned out to be Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, a global quango. Mr Birol, in rather heavily accented English, gave a chewy lecture about his 'three golden rules', the first of which was diversification. 'Not to put all da eggs in vun basget,' said Fatty. The bien-pensants nodded knowingly, veritable connoisseurs of such fare. Rule two was 'predictability' (this has possibly never been a problem with Fatty, for he was no sparkler); rule three was 'de kooperation', which meant countries not competing too much with one another. Conference's moderator Francine Lacqua, from Bloomberg telly, launched the first plenary session with various excellencies: Spain's minister for ecological transition, Iraq's oil minister, a chatty Egyptian, an impenetrable Malaysian, a lad from Colombia. Iraq and Egypt were keen on crude oil but said this subtly enough not to cause offence. The Colombian's English-language interpreter had a growly voice worthy of any Spaghetti Western bandido. I was so gripped by it that I failed to follow the content of his speech. After windy pieties from the floor we moved to the second plenary session: a smooth Frenchman, the Barbadian dame and Tommy Joyce, acting assistant secretary at Donald Trump's energy department. He was in a pinstripe suit of a type Marks & Sparks stopped selling a few years ago. Add a Mormon haircut, college-kid accent and a clipboard speech he served on the assembly's snoots like a bailiff's writ. Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, center, meets Britain's Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, left, and Fatih Birol, right, Executive Director at the International Energy Agency (IEA) for day one of the International Summit on the Future of Energy Security at Lancaster House in London, England, Thursday April 24, 2025 The White House intended to 'bring back common sense' on 'so-called renewables'. Joe Biden was attacked, as was China, which had too much of a grip on the wind turbines industry. Net Zero and corporate wokery caused human suffering. The US would have no truck with such lunacies. Every other speaker was clapped. Mr Joyce put down his clipboard to the racket you hear at rush hour on planet Jupiter. The Bloomberg TV woman finally broke the silence by saying, somewhat stickily: 'The messaging is pretty clear.' Later Mr Joyce returned to the fray to say that 'we remember God's golden rule that we should love our neighbour as ourself and let others lift themselves out of poverty' by using oil. Sir Keir Starmer made a fraudulent speech. The EU's Ursula von der Leyen queened over the conference as if she owned the place. Fatty repeated his golden rules. But after Trumpster Tommy it was all pointless.

'Turn crop waste into SAF'
Crop residues burned during both winter and summer in Pakistan represent an underutilised resource with immense potential for SAF production. photo: REUTERS Listen to article Promoting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production can help Pakistan boost national energy security, large-scale economic activity, and foreign direct investment while reducing crop waste and air pollution, economic and energy experts and environmental activists said. They said that Pakistan is uniquely positioned to harness its abundant agricultural resources and establish itself as a key player in SAF production. By leveraging its vast agricultural base, the country can simultaneously address four critical challenges: enhancing national energy security, stimulating large-scale economic activity, attracting foreign direct investment, and mitigating crop waste and the air pollution caused by its burning. Speaking with The Express Tribune, they said that globally, nations across various industrial sectors are striving to reduce emissions, and the aviation industry is no exception. As efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of air travel gain momentum, sustainable aviation fuel is emerging as a transformative solution. They noted that with mandates in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK), along with the United States' strategic initiatives driving SAF adoption, Pakistan can capitalise on SAF production while repurposing its crop residues. With global aviation fuel demand exceeding 250 million metric tonnes annually, the shift to SAF presents both a monumental challenge and a transformative opportunity. SAF is a renewable, low-carbon alternative to conventional jet fuel, produced from sustainable feedstocks such as waste oils, agricultural residues, and non-food biomass. Commercially, two key technologies dominate SAF production: Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) and Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ). The selection of technology depends on the type of biomass available for SAF production. HEFA technology is utilised for lipid-based feedstocks, such as used cooking oil, animal fats, and non-edible vegetable oils, while ATJ technology is best suited for sugar-based feedstocks, such as wheat straw, rice husks, and bagasse waste. SAF produced through these two technologies provides a "drop-in" fuel that is fully compatible with existing jet engines and infrastructure. An emerging and highly promising third technology involves utilising carbon dioxide as a feedstock, though it is not yet commercially available. Eminent energy scientist and expert in a circular economy Dr Adeel Ghayur said that commercial SAF technologies offer production capacities ranging from 100,000 tonnes to as much as one million tonnes annually. He explained that refineries on the higher end of this spectrum require multibillion-dollar investments but have the potential to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, boosting economic activity in their regions. He noted that currently, SAF is priced at approximately $2,500 per metric tonne, significantly higher than conventional aviation fuel, which costs around $700 per metric tonne. As the international community tightens its regulatory frameworks for sustainable aviation, Pakistan is presented with a unique window of opportunity that represents both an environmental imperative and a tremendous economic prospect. Crop residues burned during both winter and summer in Pakistan represent an underutilised resource with immense potential for SAF production. In Punjab alone, it is estimated that millions of tonnes of rice residue are burned each winter to prepare fields for the next planting season. Furthermore, additional crop residues become available during the wheat harvest. Together, these biomass resources hold the capacity to support the establishment of multiple SAF refineries, transforming a major environmental challenge into an economic and ecological opportunity. He said, "The starting point for Pakistan's SAF transformation lies in developing a well-rounded, multipronged strategy focused on attracting foreign investment, equipping local industries with the necessary knowledge, infrastructure, and skills, and fostering the development of robust indigenous research and development (R&D) capabilities. Strengthening R&D is essential for Pakistan to remain competitive in the global SAF market, secure its position as a hub for innovation, and maintain leadership as SAF adoption rises across Asia. This comprehensive policy roadmap will serve as both a blueprint and a catalyst to propel Pakistan to the forefront of the global SAF revolution."
