• Iran Expects Confiscated Oil Cargo to Be Returned in Full

  Iran expects an oil cargo confiscated by the U.S. off the coast of Greece to be returned in full, Tehran's ambassador to Athens said on June 9, following a Greek court ruling quashing the original decision to confiscate it.
  
  The case arose when Greece in April impounded the Iranian-flagged Lana, formerly Pegas, with 19 Russian crew members on board, near the island of Evia due to EU sanctions.
  
  The ship was released due to complications over its ownership. The U.S. in May confiscated part of the Iranian oil cargo onboard, transferring it to another ship, following the initial Greek court ruling.
  
  The Greek court's decision to overturn that ruling has not yet been made public.

  The U.S. Department of Energy said on June 8 it has finalized a $504.4 million loan guarantee to help finance the world's largest storage facility for hydrogen, a gas that can be produced with renewable power and used to generate electricity.
  
  Hydrogen can be burned as a fuel in power plants to reduce dependence on fuels like natural gas that emit large amounts of greenhouse gases when burned.
  
  The Advanced Clean Energy Storage project in Delta, Utah, is set to store green hydrogen and then burn it as a fuel for the Intermountain Power Agency's Renewed Project, a hydrogen-capable gas turbine, the combined cycle power plant intends to be fueled by 100% clean hydrogen by 2045.

  Over the last week, mortgage applications fell 7%, and they're down 21% since last June.
