Guaranteeing energy security through the energy transition

In recent years, geopolitical events have disrupted energy supplies, threatening energy security and underscoring the urgency of accelerating the transition to a multifaceted new energy system. Policy plays a pivotal role in establishing the mechanisms for meeting energy transition targets, ensuring a reliable and resilient energy future. Consequently, diverse energy supply mixes will be built to suit a country or region’s unique energy assets and needs. However, it is crucial to explore to what extent policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the EU Green Deal, can ensure energy security and industrial competitiveness and drive progress in scaling new clean energy solutions and the required infrastructure. How can we foster a holistic approach between governments, the private sector, and international organisations to bolster energy security while transitioning to cleaner energy sources?
