As electricity systems undergo rapid decentralization and decarbonization, ensuring resilience to increasingly complex and high-impact disruptions has become a strategic imperative. However, current approaches to resilience measurement remain fragmented, inconsistent, and poorly aligned with the...

According to the International Energy Agency, energy security means that energy sources are always available at an affordable price. However, the 2021 and 2022 energy crises and the current global situation raise concerns about energy availability and affordability. As countries, especially...

In response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the European Union has accelerated efforts to diversify its energy supply and reduce structural dependence on Russian gas. Within this strategy, Azerbaijan has emerged as a significant alternative supplier through the Southern Gas Corridor...

Energy-sector challenges have shaped international relations since early history, making energy a key component of geopolitics. Understanding current global and regional energy and economic trends is therefore essential. Armenia, like many European Union countries, faces significant challenges...

Industrial policy has a long history, having been used by many governments to encourage economic development through the provision of direct financial support and/or supportive regulations to specific sectors and industries. Over the past decade, the energy transition has increasingly forced...

The global energy landscape is undergoing a major transformation, upending decades of economic thinking built around resource scarcity. Unlike fossil fuels - continuously extracted from finite, geographically fixed deposits - renewable energy revolves around manufacturing technology that...

In contemporary times, energy sustainability and security have become essential economic concerns globally. Nonetheless, in addition to these concerns, inadequate governance inside a corporation within the energy industry may result in corruption and energy instability within the sector. The...

A central challenge in the global transition to cleaner energy is how governments can design policies that deliver large social benefits while facing trade-offs in energy security, fiscal costs, and household adoption frictions. We study this question in urban Nepal, where cooking is dominated...

Economic sanctions have emerged as critical instruments of geopolitical strategy, with significant ramifications for global energy markets, innovation trajectories, and the transition to sustainable energy systems. This study offers a qualitative synthesis of literature and case studies spanning...

Systematic analysis and evaluation of nuclear energy development serves as a cornerstone in shaping national nuclear science and technology strategies. This study undertakes a comparative investigation of global nuclear energy modeling paradigms, aiming to elucidate methodological strengths and...

This study investigates the impact of financial development (FD) on energy security risk (ESR) in 48 Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries from 1948 to 2022, emphasizing the roles of human capital (HC) and institutional quality (IQ). Findings reveal that FD significantly influences ESR, with...

Developing low-carbon and efficient power systems is critical for energy security in the global warming context. We address this issue by focusing on the productivity impact of a decarbonization policy in China's thermal power sector-namely, the "Constructing Large Units and Restricting Small...

The recurrence of international geopolitical events has intensified tensions in global energy supply chains. As a major crude oil consumer, China urgently needs to identify vulnerabilities within its crude oil supply chain (COSC) and implement targeted measures to safeguard national energy...

This research investigates carbon neutrality methods while concentrating on China's aggressive carbon neutrality targets and its renewable energy investment programs. Climate-compatible development serves as a key mechanism which enables economic development alongside sustainable goals. This...

Designing sustainable local energy systems requires addressing three aspects of the energy trilemma: energy economics, energy security, and environmental impact. These elements are influenced by geopolitical factors that exert policies over geographical locations in which the energy system...

In the context of global Energy Security (ES) challenges, New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) have garnered significant attention as a pivotal technology for catalyzing the energy transition, fortifying ES, and curtailing reliance on fossil fuels. However, the specific impact of New Energy Vehicle...

While the European Union (EU) and other Western nations are weaning themselves off the Kremlin's fossil energy resources, global nuclear energy producers remain closely tied to Russia's nuclear industry. One in four nuclear reactors worldwide is connected to Russia (either operating...

Hydropower has long been a cornerstone in Ukraine's energy system, contributing significantly to electricity generation and grid stability. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the state, development, and potential of both large and small hydropower in Ukraine, with particular focus to...

This article addresses the limitations of traditional energy security assessment frameworks, such as the World Energy Trilemma Index (WETI) and Energy Transition Index (ETI), in capturing complexities introduced by the decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization (D3) of national energy...

This paper examines the impact of China's outbound direct investment (ODI) in the oil sector on global oil prices. Unlike existing studies which have focused on China's oil consumption, this study goes beyond consumption to analyse the effects of China's oil-ODI on global oil prices. Using data...

The outcome of the 28th UN Climate Change Conference shows that international cooperation remains possible despite today's challenging geopolitical situation. Instead of the feared blockade, an agreement was reached for the first time - some three decades after the start of the COP process - to...

In Folge des russischen Angriffs auf die Ukraine sind die Preise für Erdgas im Jahr 2022 in immense Höhen geschnellt und haben gerade Deutschland die Folgen seiner starken Abhängigkeit von Russland spüren lassen. Die Preisspitzen sind inzwischen zwar abgeklungen, die europäische...

In 2020, the Chinese coal chemical industry processed nearly one quarter of national coal throughput, and accounted for about 5.4 per cent of national CO2 emissions. Yet the coal chemicals' industry ability to limit oil and gas imports is appealing to the Chinese leadership in the context of...

This study explores the structural shifts in Europe's energy landscape following the loss of over one-third of its natural gas supplies due to the conflict in Ukraine, effectively severing the traditional natural gas trade 'bridge' between Russia and Europe. Amidst Europe's deep integration into...

As a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine, natural gas prices skyrocketed in 2022 and Germany in particular felt the impact of its strong dependency on Russia. Prices have since relaxed, the European natural gas industry has overcome the uncertainty due to the energy crisis in 2022, and the...
