2022 drastically changed the global realities around energy. Between the war in Ukraine, fluctuating energy prices, Europe’s energy crisis, and a steadfast commitment to a low-carbon energy transition, the future of energy no longer looks like it once did.
But present within that changing reality is a new opportunity to be a global leader in the energy space, and it is now up to each country to decide how best to respond.
