International Energy Agency (IEA)’s Post

The failure to recognize the flaws in the EU’s green transition policies is leading to the deindustrialization of Europe. That in turn presents an acute economic and national security threat for Europe.

It was an honor and a pleasure to join this smart group of energy experts to discuss U.S. energy deployment at Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). https://lnkd.in/eyxpBi4F Today we focused on judicial challenges to #infrastructure #permits for LNG exports. Our panel covered how #NEPA cases have evolved, where the road ahead may lead under a new administration, and what energy markets think of the U.S. as an energy supplier.

More cyber and other malicious attacks on energy systems are just one likely consequence of the current volatile geopolitics on energy security. At the 15th South-East Europe Energy Dialogue, EASAC's Energy Programme Director Bill Gillett flagged the energy security benefits of transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable energy supplies and the challenges that come with this transition. You can follow his intervention starting at minute 11:52 of the video below.

https://lnkd.in/gkKMpWC2 Geo-Political Issues-How do energy resources and energy dependency shape international relations? By Hugo Keji Energy resources and energy dependency are critical factors that shape international relations, influencing everything from alliances and conflicts to economic policies and security strategies. Here’s how they play a role: 1. Energy as a Strategic Asset Resource Control and Influence: Countries with abundant energy resources, particularly oil and natural gas, often wield.....

Pearl is proud to announce its support and incorporation of the new *National Definition of a Zero-Emissions Building* put forward today by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Biden administration, and federal agencies. As a national leader in energy-efficient certification for homes and home features, Pearl will drive public awareness and interest in zero-emissions buildings by incorporating the new definition into a forthcoming Pearl Certification standard *and* by working with homeowners in our network to help them achieve and be recognized for meeting this ambitious goal. The newly established definition identifies a zero-emissions building as: ✅ Highly energy efficient ✅ Free of on-site emissions from energy use (all electric) ✅ Powered solely by clean energy For more information: https://lnkd.in/eVpMRgHN We'll have more to say on what incorporation of the new definition looks like in Pearl's Certification system, so stay tuned.

Centralisation is efficient but if, or when, it goes wrong there can be big impacts. I believe local energy systems not only offer a way to mitigate some of these risks but to provide other local benefits too. It's all about getting the balance right between local and central... which we will be discussing at our Seminar in October. Come and be part of this important dialogue.

As the country’s largest power station, Drax is crucial for UK #energysecurity and with our plans to deploy #BECCS, we can continue to protect our energy security for decades to come. ⚡ Hear more from Richard Gwilliam, our UK BECCS Programme Director, in this short video clip. 📺 You can watch the full video via the link in comments. 👇

On Monday, December 09, 2024, the Institute convenes ad-hoc a webinar on “Energy Security in View of Rising Geopolitical Tensions”. (https://lnkd.in/dePYbbK8 ) The main purpose of the webinar, which will be held online between 16.00 and 19.00, is to examine and analyze the latest geopolitical developments and their impact on energy security in the wider region of SE Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean amid the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Europe’s energy security remains a key concern despite the progress the region has made in weaning itself off Russia’s gas imports. Over the last three years, European countries have significantly increased their reliance on alternative energy sources, reducing their dependence on Russian natural gas and swiftly replenishing their gas storage levels. However, they have not yet reached a satisfactory level of energy security. IENE’s timely webinar comes to highlight the vital role that the South-Eastern part of Europe can play, in terms of electricity and gas supply as a regional energy hub, in the coming years, in the midst of a geopolitically fragmented world. Already, this winter Europe is facing renewed challenges over its gas supply options. Will Europe be able to tackle the potential challenges that the energy market could pose in 2025 and beyond?

The ADI Forum always works hard to curate an excellent register of speakers. In 2022, Christopher Smith, SVP at Cheniere Energy, Inc., discussed the future of US-EU energy relations during his fireside chat at the ADI Forum. Some of Smith’s key points included strong energy ties, ongoing security concerns, and mutually beneficial LNG exports.

“In those circumstances, the new security environment would mean that not only would gas fail to provide any part of a ‘bridge’ to a lower carbon electricity future, but also that after 2020, natural gas would become a ‘sunset industry’ in Europe.” #Gas #LNG #Security #NaturalGas #EuropeanGas #SecurityEnvironment
