Background
In this section, we explore the evolution of global energy policy and the latest trends in the market. In the past two years, global energy policies and markets have observed significant dynamic changes due to a variety of factors, including the urgency of climate change, technological advancements, the global impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, and geopolitical changes.
Shift to sustainable energy
In this section, how countries around the world are adapting their energy policies to combat climate change and meet Paris Agreement commitments. These include increased investment in renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar), reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and policies promoting electric vehicles and other clean modes of transportation.
Market dynamics
In the global energy market, constant price fluctuations, changes in supply and demand, and technological innovation are having an impact on energy policymaking. We will analyze the latest energy resource discoveries, production technology advances (such as shale oil and shale gas extraction), and the oil price collapse and subsequent rebound in recent years, especially during the pandemic.
Pandemic and energy demand
The global COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant short-term impact on energy demand. Lockdown measures have led to a sharp decline in industrial activity and transport demand, which in turn has affected global energy consumption patterns. This section will analyze the changes in energy demand related to the epidemic, as well as the potential recovery and trends of the energy market in the post-epidemic era.
Geopolitical impact
Geopolitical events, such as tensions in the Middle East and frictions between Russia and Western countries in energy supply, have a direct impact on the global energy market. This section explores how these events are changing global energy supply chains and prices, and how countries can enhance energy security through energy policy.
Future outlook
Finally, we will look at future energy market and policy trends. Paying attention to energy transformation and innovation, promoting the balance between economic growth and environmental protection, and new energy technologies that may emerge in the future (such as green hydrogen energy, carbon capture and storage technology) will be key discussions.
