Reclaim Finance zufolge ist 2022/23 die Finanzierung von 437 Öl- und Gasprojekte genehmigt worden. Beteiligt sind 200 Unternehmen in 58 Ländern. Die Projekte widersprechen der Roadmap der IEA zur Klimaneutralität von 2021, in der keine neuen fossilen Projekte vorgesehen sind. Eine Schlüsselrolle haben staatliche Firmen in Öl und Gas produzierenden Staaten. Bei der Zahl der Projekte liegen Russland und Norwegen vorne. Europäische Ölgesellschaften haben eine Reduzierung ihrer (unzureichenden) Dekarbonisierungsziele angekündigt. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/437-nouveaux-projets-petroliers-et-gaziers-quels-sont-les-pays-moteurs-des-energies-fossiles-en-2023-20231130_QRXDTQKM7NBIZGXWUNFQ7QRSWM/

Der italienische Mineralölkonzern Eni hat kurz nacheinander LNG-Lieferverträge mit Qatar, der Demokratischen Republik Kongo und Indonesien abgeschlossen. Der Vertrag mit Qatar über die Lieferung von jährlich 1,5 Milliarden Kubikmeter (zusätzlich zu den seit 3007 importieren 2,9 Milliarden Kubikmetern) läuft bis 2053. Der Vertrag mit den Kongo geht über 4,5 Milliarden Kubikmeter. Eni will die LNG-Liefererungen bis 2026 auf über 18 Millionen Kubikmeter verdoppeln. https://www.repubblica.it/economia/2023/10/26/news/eni_gnl_forniture_gas_indonesia_qatar_congo-418811631/

Die Pläne der Kohle-, Öl- und gasproduzierenden Staaten zur Ausweitung der Förderung würden 2030 zu 460% mehr Kohle, 83% mehr Gas und 29% mehr Ölproduktion führen, als mit dem Pariser Abkommen vereinbar ist. Der aktuelle Production Gap Report der Vereinten Nationen konzentriert sich auf die 20 stärksten Verschmutzer-Staaten, deren Pläne fast durchgängig in radikalem Widerspruch zum Pariser Abkommen stehen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/08/insanity-petrostates-planning-huge-expansion-of-fossil-fuels-says-un-report

Der italienische Energiekonzern ENI wird über die bestehenden Verträge hinaus über 27Jahre bis zu 1 mtpa (Million Tonnen pro Jahr) LNG aus Qatar beziehren. Vorangegangen waren ähnliche Deals über jährlich 3,5 mtpa über 27 Jahre mit Shell und TotalEnergies. Ein Deal von QatarEnergy und ConocoPhilips vom November 2022 sieht vor, dass Deutschland ab 2026 über 15 Jahre 2 mtpa LNG bezieht. Ähnliche Abkommen schloss QatarEnergies auch zurLNG-Versorgung asiatischer Länder ab. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/qatar-signs-27-year-gas-supply-deal-with-italys-eni-2023-10-23/

Most of the tourist and sporting infrastructure had to be built at enormous expense — estimates range anywhere from$200 billion to $300 billion. Yet the return on investment for huge events like this is rarely positive. The Olympics are infamously pricey to put on, and the economic benefits for residents of the host city are questionable. So, with the big price tag and not much to show in return, why do countries like Qatar, Russia and Brazil offer up billions of dollars to host global sporting events? According to Victor Matheson, a professor of economics at the College of the Holy Cross and a former Major League Soccer referee, they may be seeking to burnish their reputations through international media coverage. “If you’re putting any sort of significant money into infrastructure like Qatar obviously is doing, there’s just no way you can make that back on ticket sales, on media rights, [or] on the amount of money you make from tourists coming to visit your country,” Matheson said in an interview with Marketplace’s David Brancaccio. “So obviously, you’re hoping for some sort of long-run benefits, some sort of legacy, and often that is an improvement in your reputation, either as a tourist destination or as a world player in some ways.”
Alternate thesis for why countries and cities vie to host money-losing events like the World Cup and the Olympics: grift.
With the necessary need for building infrastructure, there's easy and ample opportunity for cooking the books and pushing cash flow into the pockets of contractors and political figures as well as into the pockets of the governing bodies and their officials.

Some of the money may go into the local economy and workers which is good, but who's really benefitting here? Where is the money going? Who is footing the loss? It can't all be written off to goodwill.
