(FILES) German Economy and Energy Minister Katherina Reiche visits the PCK Schwedt oil refinery in Schwedt, northeastern Germany, on May 11, 2026. The German government on September 30, 2026 ordered a state-owned company to boost gas reserves as worries mount about low storage levels ahead of winter, citing "geopolitical risks" amid the Iran war. European gas prices surged to a three-year high earlier in September 2026, with the Middle East conflict and near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting global energy markets. The continent, which relies heavily on energy imports, has greatly diversified its supplies since Russian gas deliveries collapsed following Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Kenya's President William Ruto (C) and Kenya's Deputy President Kithure Kindiki (2nd R) inspect excavators and other heavy machinery parked during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Dangote East Africa Petroleum Refinery at Lamu Port in Kililana, Lamu West, on September 30, 2026. Africa's richest broke ground on a new $16-billion mega-refinery in Kenya on Wednesday, saying it marked a "new chapter in Africa's industrial journey". Aliko Dangote created Africa's biggest oil refinery in his native Nigeria and the east African version at the port of Lamu will have a capacity of 700,000 barrels per day -- larger than any in Europe. The project, which aims for completion within 30 to 40 months, has already faced a lawsuit from a local community over land rights. A court ruling published on Monday said the ground-breaking could go ahead, but the case will continue. (Photo by Luis TATO / AFP via Getty Images)
