The Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are about to take a historic energy security step on February 9, when they will synchronize their former Soviet electricity systems with the Continental Europe Network (CEN). This will conclude the final chapter of Russia’s involvement in the energy sectors of these frontline European Union (EU) and NATO member states. But the Baltic states and their NATO allies must now work to secure this hard-won energy independence from Russia’s ongoing hybrid attacks on critical energy infrastructure. 

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have faced a wide array of Russian coercive energy policy measures arising from their historical dependence on Russian energy supplies and Soviet-era energy infrastructure. These measures included a total economic and energy blockade of Lithuania in 1990 in response to its independence movement, a prompt shutdown of an oil pipeline after Lithuania declined to sell its crude oil refinery to a Russian company in 2006, and long-term politically motivated gas pricing for the Baltics, to name just a few well-known cases. 

Having faced the destructive impacts of Russia’s weaponization of energy, the Baltic states have become leaders among European nations in severing ties with Russia’s energy supplies over the past decade. The installation of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Klaipėda, Lithuania’s seaport, in late 2014 marked a significant step in this direction. It opened the Baltic gas markets to global LNG suppliers, including those from the United States. This alternative gas supply route enabled the Baltic states to ban all Russian gas imports, both piped and LNG, just two months into Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. The Baltic states became the first European countries to take such a principled stance, and they are among those advocating for the rest of the EU members to follow suit by implementing a blanket ban on Russian LNG.  

Flipping the switch

The timely diversification of oil and electricity supply routes also allowed the Baltics to stop importing these energy sources from Russia. In terms of electricity, the Baltic states use the interconnectors Estlink 1 and Estlink 2 between Estonia and Finland, Nordbalt between Lithuania and Sweden, and LitPol Link between Lithuania and Poland for power exchanges with Europe. However, the Baltic states’ early market-level integration with their EU neighbors did not mean the immediate end of Russia’s involvement in the their electricity sectors on the system control level.

These are the last days that the Baltic states’ power grids remain a part of the Russian-controlled Integrated Power System/United Power System (IPS/UPS) grid. This effectively means that a dispatch in Moscow is still responsible for maintaining electric frequency stability in the Baltic states—bringing all the risks that such a dependency on Moscow entails. Ukraine and Moldova performed a test desynchronization from the IPS/UPS grid concurrently with the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, immediately asking for an emergency synchronization with the European grid, which was granted. Lithuania was aware of the potential need to perform an emergency synchronization, too, and thus had prepared its power grid to function in an isolated mode if needed. On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will decouple from the Russian-controlled grid and conduct a joint isolated operation test before joining the European grid on February 9.

The planning for the Baltic synchronization with the European grid began as early as 2007, but—due to multiple project phases involving political, regulatory, and infrastructural components in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Poland—it has only now been finalized. The project was co-financed by the EU, which has allocated more than €1.2 billion from its Connecting Europe Facility. For the EU, the project is as important as it is for the Baltic states: only with Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia connected to the European grid can the EU achieve its goal of a fully integrated European energy market, in which all uncontrolled third-party impacts on its member states are eliminated.

Securing critical infrastructure

Although Russia will no longer exert direct influence over the energy supply and system control of the Baltic states, Moscow may now focus on targeting their critical energy, communications, and data infrastructure. Since October 2023, at least eleven cables running under the Baltic Sea have been damaged. This includes the underwater Balticconnector gas pipeline between Estonia and Finland; communications cables linking Finland, Germany, Sweden, and Lithuania; and the Estlink 2 power cable between Estonia and Finland. A data cable between Latvia and Sweden has been damaged as recently as January 26. The Lithuanian government is responding with increased military involvement in protecting critical seaborne energy infrastructure under the Baltic Sea amid an attempted sabotage of the NordBalt power cable that connects it to Sweden.

The damage was caused by vessels dragging their anchors on the Baltic Sea’s seabed. Investigations into the circumstances of the damage are still ongoing, but the rapid increase in such incidents and the vessels involved—mostly Russia’s “shadow fleet” oil tankers—raise concerns that the damage was intentional. As a response, NATO has stepped up its presence in the Baltic Sea by launching a new military patrol mission called Baltic Sentry. This mission involves deploying frigates, maritime patrol aircraft, and naval drones to enhance the ability of littoral states to respond to destabilizing acts on their critical infrastructure. The Alliance has also established a Critical Undersea Infrastructure Network to enhance information-sharing and situational awareness and a dedicated Maritime Centre for the Security of Critical Undersea Infrastructure within NATO’s Maritime Command in Northwood, United Kingdom. 

Crucial first steps have also been made to increase the protection level of the onshore LitPol Link interconnector between Lithuania and Poland, through which the Baltics are synchronizing with the European grid. Lithuania’s Public Security Service has taken over the protection of several LitPol Link sites from a private security company that had previously been assigned this role. The Baltic states and Poland, fully aware of Russia’s hybrid activities in the region, have also urged the EU to provide financial support for enhancing current security measures for the LitPol Link and other critical energy infrastructure in the region. 

It’s a start, but more needs to be done, particularly in the case of Lithuania. With vital interconnectors—LitPol Link in energy and Rail Baltica in transport and military logistics—passing through the country, Lithuania is emerging as a crucial gateway connecting continental Europe to the Baltics, the Nordic region, and even the Arctic.

All these interconnections traverse the narrow land corridor between Lithuania and Poland, known as the Suwałki Gap. This notorious area borders Belarus to the east and Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave to the west.

Russia could attempt to isolate the Baltics from the rest of Europe by obstructing the Suwałki Gap from these territories. Thus, beyond the punctual tactics of strengthening the security of the LitPol Link and, later, the planned additional onshore electricity interconnector between Lithuania and Poland that is reportedly set to run along the Rail Baltica tracks, an approach of a comprehensive protection regime for this vulnerable border area is needed. An increased NATO military presence in Lithuania and regional measures, such as installing the Baltic Defense Line along the Baltic states’ borders with mainland Russia, its Kaliningrad region, and Belarus, are important steps toward a solution.

With the Baltic power systems soon operating in harmony with those in continental Europe, the regional security agenda shifts from concerns over the security of energy supply to the protection of critical energy infrastructure. The Baltic nations and their allies should further enhance their proactive efforts to deter sabotage and secure this strategically vital region.

Critics point out that the production of LNG, when drilling, production and burning are considered, is a major driver of the climate crisis. Studies have shown that while gas emits less carbon dioxide than coal, it often also involves the leaking of large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

“This is a carbon mega bomb,” said Jeremy Symons, a former Environmental Protection Agency official, of CP2, which has requested a permit to operate until 2050, a point when Biden aims for the US to have zeroed out its emissions. “The scale of the project is almost unfathomable and it locks us into a fossil fuel dependency for the next 30 years. If all we do is shift from coal to gas, we are cooked.”

According to calculations by Symons, who runs his own consultancy, the CP2 project would cause 197m tons of planet-heating gases each year once fully operational, including emissions from the production of the gas and its eventual burning overseas, which isn’t counted in the US’s own emissions tally.

This scale of emissions is 20 times greater than the controversial Willow oil project in Alaska, which was approved by the Biden administration despite a huge outcry from Democrats, tribes and climate campaigners earlier this year.

Should several dozen other proposed gas-export facilities along the Gulf of Mexico also be built, then the overall emissions toll would be gargantuan, according to figures Symons shared with the Guardian. If all planned terminals go ahead, it would result in an extra 3.2bn tons of greenhouse gases each year, he found, close to the annual emissions of the entire European Union and severely imperiling hopes of avoiding catastrophic global heating.

“It’s an unbelievable amount of pollution and it would spell game over for a livable planet as we’ve known it,” said Symons. “We would double LNG production just with the gas terminals that have been proposed, meaning we are just shifting emissions overseas even as we act on climate here in the US. We’ve left the back door wide open, and profit-seeking oil-gas companies are taking full advantage.”

The CP2 project is awaiting permission from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc), which regulates pipelines, as well as the US Department of Energy. Several Democratic lawmakers have criticized Ferc, and the Biden administration, for repeatedly approving huge gas projects despite concerns over damage to the climate as well as to the air and water of nearby communities, already overburdened by a tangle of oil and gas infrastructure along the Gulf coast.

Ferc has been “captured by the fossil fuel industry”, complained the US senator Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat, after the agency approved a separate gas plant in the Pacific north-west last week. “Ferc may be an obscure federal agency to most people, but there are important decisions on the horizon at Ferc that will determine whether the world meets its climate goals,” he said. “With projects such as the Calcasieu Pass 2 LNG export terminal on the horizon, right now, the signs aren’t good.”

XR Boston plays basketball in halls of MA State House to demand Governor ban new fossil fuel infrastructure

On Monday September 18, more than 30 climate activists from Extinction Rebellion Boston (XR) played a creative version of basketball in the halls of the Massachusetts State House, to demand that Governor Maura Healey "stop playing games with our future." The activists split into two "teams," one team representing the government (with sponsorship logos for fossil fuel companies on their jerseys) and the other team representing "New Fossil Fuels". On the second floor outside Governor Healey's office, activists made raucous throwing and dribbling motions, while shouting as if in game-play. Meanwhile, other activists playing the role of Massachusetts residents as spectators carried banners and shouted for the game to end. Spectator chants included: "Commonwealth, you’re breaking the rules, don’t pass the ball to Fossil Fuels! You’re our home team, we must win! It’s our planet, go all-in! Fossil fuels, aren’t you ashamed? It’s our future, not a game! We see your fouls to make a basket, there’s no games on a dead planet!" These activists managed to disrupt business as usual for a full afternoon. After a long game, the crowd of activists occupied the Governor's Constituents office for two hours until eight arrests were made. During the occupation, they chanted together and sang protest songs in high spirits. As arrestees were led away, their cohorts sang "Courage [activist's name], you do not walk alone, we will walk with you, and sing your spirit home."

These activists managed to disrupt business as usual for a full afternoon. After a long game, the crowd of activists occupied the Governor's Constituents office for two hours until nine arrests were made. During the occupation, they chanted together and sang protest songs in high spirits. As arrestees were led away, their cohorts sang "Courage my friend, you do not walk alone, we will walk with you, and sing your spirit home."

Extinction Rebellion Boston's demand is No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure in Massachusetts.

Banning new fossil fuel infrastructure includes:

NO new fossil fuel power plants

NO new residential or commercial gas connections

NO new or expanded natural gas distribution pipelines, transmission pipelines, or compressor stations

NO new liquified natural gas production facilities, storage facilities, or terminals

NO new gas stations or other gasoline and diesel infrastructure

NO new airports or airfield expansions

Stopping new fossil fuel infrastructure under development includes:

MMWEC’s Peaker Plant in Peabody

NEC’s Liquified Natural Gas Facility in Charlton

LNG expansion to Douglas

L.G. Hanscom Airfield's North Airfield Development in Bedford

"Modernization" projects in Lowell and Worcester

"Reliability" projects in Western Mass. and Sharon-to-Brockton

The Hopkinton-Ashland Transfer Line

Meter stations in Longmeadow and Charlton

Why are we using creative disruption? Asking nicely hasn't kept humanity safe from the effects of climate change, neither has writing letters and petitions, neither has hopes and prayers. The global average temperature for July 2023 is confirmed to be the highest on record for any month, and August 2023 was the hottest August in recorded history. We gasp through wildfire smoke, and our neighbors to the north wade through floodwaters. What more will it take before our government takes action?

From Sea to Shell Shock: $CGBS vs Shell

Shell’s reality check just got real. In 2024/25, the “climate-friendly” oil giant is feeling the squeeze: it lost a climate case in South Africa (Wild Coast drilling blocked) and quietly axed hundreds of oil-and-gas jobs. The new CEO is canceling big green projects – offshore wind plans are on hold to save costs. Meanwhile, Crown LNG ($CGBS) is steering clear of courtroom dramas. It’s quietly signing engineering contracts and pushing pipeline plans – actual construction, not court filings.

Conflict vs. Construction: Shell’s headlines are full of lawsuits and layoffs; Crown’s are full of contracts and concrete. Shell cut jobs and defended climate suits; Crown picked port sites and fired up survey vessels. One’s PR fatigue; the other’s progress.

Legacy vs. Launch: Shell has massive LNG infrastructure in place (Europe’s biggest terminals, global stake) – stable but hardly growing. Crown’s building new stuff one project at a time – more like LEGO blocks than a monolith. Shell’s a cruise liner; Crown’s a speedboat catching waves.

Vision vs. Reality: Shell talks net-zero by 2050, but keeps drilling and quietly canceled many green projects. Crown isn’t pretending to be carbon-free, but it’s built for the transition – moving cleaner gas instead of coal. It’s building energy infrastructure, not just new PR slogans.

Dividends vs. Dreams: Shell’s loyalty comes with a juicy dividend (~5%). Crown’s paying nothing yet – plowing every dollar into growth. Want yield? Shell’s your queen. Want upside? Crown’s king (pun intended).

Investor Buzz: Shell is huge – no TikTok hype there. Crown’s tiny float means any new LNG deal could set it on fire. Shell’s ticker is billboard-level; Crown’s a whisper in energy forums – but whispers can become roars.

Shell has decades of headlines; Crown’s writing its first chapter. Are you rooting for the weathered giant or the hungry newcomer? 😎🌍

Sandstorms and Pipelines: $CGBS vs ADNOC

ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi oil powerhouse, might have a private jet and an OPEC+ seat, but is that future or the past? The UAE’s national champion is on a $150B mission to pump 5 million barrels a day by 2030 – building pipelines thicker than camel humps to shuttle crude around the world. Just recently, ADNOC inked a deal to boost its Upper Zakum output with Exxon, and even approved a $5B gas-expansion plan at home. Meanwhile, Crown LNG ($CGBS) is doing something different: building demand-side infrastructure. While ADNOC is exporting more oil, Crown’s stringing LNG terminals from Europe to Asia to meet that demand.

Scale vs. Specialisation: ADNOC is everything-big: mega oil fields, giant pipelines, and an oil-sovereign fund. Crown is niche-focused: just LNG terminals (like the planned FRSU in Scotland or a regas barge in India). One is a Swiss Army knife; the other is a laser pointer.

Global Politics vs. Local Projects: ADNOC plays international chess – balancing OPEC quotas, routing around the Strait of Hormuz, wooing foreign investors. Crown’s game is local: building where people need heating, with no quotas in play. It’s like saying “No thanks” to geopolitics, “Yes please” to customers.

Money Moves: ADNOC is flush: it drops billions on drilling rigs, pipelines and refineries without blinking. Crown’s capital is lean: every dollar goes to one project at a time. Big oil empire vs lean startup hustle.

Emulating Crown’s Thesis: The giants are copying Crown’s vision at scale. Shell predicts LNG demand +60% by 2040 (driven by Asia and even AI datacenters). Exxon is pouring cash into the Golden Pass LNG export hub. ADNOC itself just green-lit a multi-billion gas build-out domestically. They’re doubling down on global gas – basically the same train Crown boarded, but at bullet-train speed.

Culture Clash: ADNOC might throw a gala for a new refinery. Crown will put on a hard hat and hit the construction site. One’s classic big-oil scene; the other’s a scrappy global energy entrepreneur.

Bottom line: Bet on the desert oil monarch or the nimble LNG upstart? ADNOC’s all-in on oil horsepower; Crown’s flexing lean LNG muscle. Old-Economy or New-Era? The market’s already partly chosen now it’s your turn. 🔥🏜️

India’s oil and gas demand-supply landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by economic growth, energy transition goals, and rising urbanisation. Indian Petroplus provides detailed coverage of this dynamic sector, offering critical insights into consumption trends, production capacity, and import dependency shaping the country’s energy strategy. India is the third-largest energy consumer globally, with oil demand projected to reach nearly 11 million barrels per day by 2045, according to the IEA and OPEC forecasts. Currently, the country consumes around 5 million barrels per day, with transport and industrial sectors being major contributors. Domestic crude oil production, however, meets less than 15% of demand, leading to heavy reliance on imports, primarily from the Middle East, Africa, and the US. Natural gas consumption is also growing steadily as India moves towards cleaner fuels. The government targets raising the share of gas in the energy mix from around 6% to 15% by 2030. However, domestic production has struggled to meet demand, prompting an increased focus on LNG imports, regasification terminals, and city gas distribution (CGD) networks. To address the supply gap, upstream investments are being ramped up. ONGC, Oil India Ltd, and private players like Reliance-BP and Vedanta are developing new fields and enhancing recovery from mature basins. Simultaneously, downstream infrastructure – including refineries, pipelines, and LNG terminals – is being expanded to ensure efficient delivery. Indian Petroplus provides comprehensive updates on crude and gas supply, consumption data, import-export trends, policy changes, and price movements.

How Crown LNG ($CGBS) Could Quietly Make Early Shareholders Very Loudly Rich

There is something deliciously deceptive about a stock that costs less than a subway swipe yet straddles the same mega-trends driving Exxon, Shell and Berkshire Hathaway to write multi-billion-dollar cheques. Crown LNG Holdings, ticker CGBS, finished the week at $0.11—a price that screams “penny stock” even while the company’s to-do list reads like a Fortune 500 growth plan. The mismatch is so stark that it feels less like a valuation gap and more like a time warp: Wall Street is still pricing yesterday’s risk while Crown is sprinting toward tomorrow’s cash flow.

The macro tailwind nobody can ignore Start with demand. Shell’s 2025 LNG Outlook forecasts about a 60 % surge in global liquefied-gas consumption by 2040, propelled largely by Asia’s industrial boom and the electricity hunger of digital infrastructure. ExxonMobil echoes the theme, saying it is “on track to nearly double its LNG portfolio by 2030,” with projects on four continents already under construction. Berkshire Hathaway, which rarely overpays for hype, bought a 75 % stake in the Cove Point terminal for roughly $3.3 billion—just one facility—because Warren Buffett sees decades of toll-booth cash flows in LNG. If the world’s most disciplined capital allocators are leaning hard into liquefied gas, a developer trading for sixty-odd million dollars begins to look like buried treasure.

The second tailwind is artificial intelligence. The International Energy Agency projects that global data-centre power demand will more than double to about 945 TWh by 2030—roughly Japan’s entire electricity use today—and calls out AI workloads as the prime culprit. Gas-fired turbines remain the only dispatchable source that can ramp fast enough to keep GPUs humming around the clock. A Reuters deep-dive last week made the connection explicit: energy majors are piling into Southeast-Asian gas precisely because data-centre developers have nowhere else to turn for reliable electrons. Crown’s planned terminals sit squarely in that power-hunger corridor.

A four-continent supply web hiding in plain sight. Crown’s blueprint begins with Kakinada, the first gravity-based LNG terminal ever licensed for 365-day operation on India’s cyclone-prone east coast. Its seven-million-tonne capacity would feed power plants and, increasingly, India’s hyper-scale server farms—just as New Delhi pushes gas to 15 % of the national energy mix. Cross half a world to Scotland’s Firth of Forth, where Crown is engineering an import hub aimed at taming Britain’s winter gas price spikes. Slide south-east to Vietnam, an economy whose data-centre footprint is exploding and whose planners forecast multi-million-tonne LNG deficits by 2030. Close the circuit in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where Crown’s proposed floating export platform would funnel cheap Permian and Haynesville molecules straight into its own receiving terminals. That is a vertically stitched, four-continent network—a micro-cap doing an impression of an integrated major.

Sceptics will note that Crown has no revenue yet, and they are right. But those same sceptics must grapple with an anomaly: not one core Crown executive has sold a single share in two years. In SPAC land, insiders usually sprint for the exits the day lock-ups expire. Here, they have welded their wallets to the rails. Either they are terrible traders—or they see value invisible to the wider market. For investors who prize alignment, that zero-sale streak is the loudest bullish klaxon in the small-cap universe.

Consider replacement cost. Building just one Kakinada-scale terminal runs to about $1 billion. Crown plans at least two such assets plus an export platform, yet its enterprise value sits around $60 million. Berkshire’s single Cove Point stake, again, cost fifty-plus times Crown’s entire market cap. Even a modest industry rule of thumb—valuing an LNG project at 10-15 % of cap-ex at Final Investment Decision—would catapult Crown’s equity into nine-figure territory the moment financing is nailed down. Eleven cents simply does not compute once steel hits seawater.

Management says it is targeting FID on the Scottish project as early as 2025 and Kakinada by 2026. Each milestone tends to unlock construction debt, long-term offtake contracts, and fresh equity interest. For context, Excelerate Energy’s valuation lifted immediately after its first FSRU charter passed bankable diligence—even before gas flowed—because the market finally trusted the revenue model.  Crown is racing toward the same credibility inflection, but from a share price barely scraping double digits.

Wall Street’s crowded trades, mega cap tech, AI chips, large-cap energy, are priced for perfection. Crown LNG is priced as if the future never arrives. Yet Shell, Exxon and Berkshire believe that same future requires vastly more LNG than the world can currently deliver. If even one of Crown’s projects crosses the debt-financing finish line, the stock’s denominator changes faster than most portfolio screens can refresh.

Investors love to say they learn from missed chances. Apple at four, Amazon at eighty, Tesla at twenty. The common thread is that each looked too small, too risky, too early—right until reality rewrote the narrative. Crown LNG sits in that uncomfortable limbo now: tiny quote, giant ambitions, insiders all-in, macro winds at its back. When the first concrete caisson sinks into Indian waters or the first seabed pile is driven in Scotland, today’s eleven-cent tape will feel like ancient history.

History does not repeat, but it certainly rhymes. If you have ever sworn you would never again overlook the bargain hiding beneath an ugly price, Crown LNG is quietly offering you a redo. The only question is whether you will hear the keystone drop before the rest of the market wakes up.

Banks significantly increased fossil fuel financing according to the “Banking on Climate Chaos” report published on Tuesday. Fossil Fuel Financing: A Balanced View on the "Dirty Dozen" Banks The Dirty Dozen list points to the 12 banks most heavily involved in fossil fuel financing since the Paris Agreement (2016), sparking criticism from climate groups. But let’s moderate the tone and unpack the complexity:

🪙 What the Numbers Show Yes, these banks — led by JPMorgan Chase, Mizuho, Bank of America, and others — collectively poured hundreds of billions into fossil fuel companies. But:

🌍 Global demand for energy remains high, especially in emerging economies.

🔧 Bank financing often supports infrastructure, not just extraction — like pipelines, ports, LNG terminals.

🔄 Some banks also fund renewables—but those numbers get buried under fossil fuel totals.

🧭 Why They Keep Financing Fossil Fuels Clients need transition time: Oil and gas giants are pledging to shift to low-carbon strategies—but still need cash flow.

Energy security matters: After global shocks price, some nations doubled down on oil & gas for stability.

Financial interests: Fossil fuel projects can offer high returns with long-term contracts—attractive for banks and investors.

⚖️ Room for Critique… and Change While the term “Dirty Dozen” is powerful, it can oversimplify:

❗Many banks have climate pledges, but enforcement is weak or voluntary.

❗“Greenwashing” is a concern—claiming to go green while funding coal or Arctic drilling.

❗Public pressure from youth, investors, and regulators is growing—many banks are slowly adjusting.

🧩

Clear timelines for phase-out of fossil financing.

A massive increase in clean energy investment — where banks can play a constructive role.

Zero-Penny Signal: How Crown LNG’s Insider Freeze-Out Could Be the Loudest Buy Alarm on Wall Street

There’s a stubborn myth in small-cap land that insiders always flip their shares the moment lock-ups expire. In SPAC world it’s practically a rite of passage—sponsors cash out, retail bags it. Crown LNG ($CGBS) is shattering that script. Two full years after listing, not one core executive has sold a single share. Zero shares. Zero pennies.  In a market drowning in insider distributions, that silence is the loudest statement you’ll hear all year.

Why does it matter? Because insiders are sitting on real risk. Crown isn’t a software outfit with negligible cap-ex; it’s an LNG infrastructure developer aiming to plant billion-dollar terminals in cyclone country and North Sea squalls. The team knows the gantlet ahead—permitting, financing, engineering—and still won’t take chips off the table. That’s Warren-Buffett-level conviction, except Buffett at least collects Coke dividends along the way; Crown’s leadership is paid in unrealised upside.

Contrast that behaviour with the recent wave of energy SPACs. Many sponsors dumped 20–40 percent of their founder shares within months of de-SPACing, a pattern so predictable it became an ETF short thesis. When those same investors glance at CGBS’s insider roster and see no Form 4 sales for eight consecutive quarters, they can’t help but wonder what management sees that the tape doesn’t.

Look at the macro picture they’re front-running. Shell pegs LNG demand to grow roughly sixty percent by 2040, driven by Asian industrialisation and the ravenous power draw of AI data centres. ExxonMobil is ploughing billions into Golden Pass to double its LNG footprint by 2030. ADNOC just approved a five-billion-dollar gas build-out in the UAE. These giants are effectively reposting the same thesis Crown is pursuing—only at global-major scale and valuations a thousand times larger.

Crown’s tiny float compounds the insider story. With virtually all senior leadership stock locked in the vault, each incremental buyer is fighting over a wafer-thin public float. That’s how you get a fifty-five-percent jump to eleven cents on ordinary volume—and why the next off take agreement, engineering contract or FID headline could ignite another gap. We’re still talking about a company worth less than sixty million dollars, yet its Kakinada terminal alone carries a projected cap-ex north of one billion. The mismatch is absurd.

Sceptics will dismiss “no-sale” optics as meaningless without cash flow. Fair—until you remember insiders know the financing conversations the rest of us don’t. They sit across the table from sovereign wealth funds, EPC contractors, and Asian utilities weighing twenty-year regas deals. If the outlook were sour, someone would have taken liquidity. That no one has even trimmed a token block suggests internal confidence in near-term milestones.

Markets aren’t blind to everything; they’re just late to things that don’t file on Bloomberg. When that first concrete pour in Kakinada goes live on social feeds, or when the U.K. government stamps final approval on the Grangemouth terminal, traders will scramble to reverse-engineer why management was welded to its stock certificates. By then, the eleven-cent entry may be folklore.

Crown LNG’s insider freeze-out isn’t just a governance curiosity; it’s a neon sign pointing at asymmetrical value. If you believe LNG demand will keep ripping higher and that scarcity of shovel-ready terminals will command premium economics, the people who know Crown best have already placed their bet—in full view, with full wallets, and with zero exits. The question is whether the rest of the market listens before or after the rerate.
