Energy Journal 31: Geopolitics in Transition

We are pleased to share the new edition of CESI’s Energy Journal, Issue 31: “Geopolitics in Transition: A Fluid Energy Map.”
This issue explores how the global energy transition is increasingly driven by geopolitical realignments, strategic competition, and shifting resource dynamics.

The world’s energy landscape is undergoing rapid and complex change. From the COP28 commitment to triple renewable capacity by 2030 to the growing race for critical raw materials, energy is now at the heart of global strategy. In the Scenario section, we unpack how decarbonization efforts face uneven progress, resource concentration, and evolving trade patterns. While global powers like the U.S., China, and the EU recalibrate their strategies, countries such as Ukraine and Greenland are stepping into key roles thanks to their mineral wealth.

Our Top Story revisits the recent G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada. With Canada taking on the presidency under Prime Minister Mark Carney, the summit reinforced the centrality of energy security, infrastructure investment, and climate leadership for global stability.

The Industries & Countries section reviews how crises—from war to climate shocks—are pushing governments to rethink energy independence. Europe advances REPowerEU, the U.S. leans on domestic production, while emerging regions increase investment in minerals and smart grids.

In Future & Technology, CESI’s expertise takes center stage. From Baltic HVDC interconnections to Indonesian grid planning and Saudi resilience modeling, our projects are shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow. Advanced analytics, AI, green hydrogen, and nuclear innovation are all expanding the energy mix.

Energy Journal 31 offers a unique, cross-sectoral view of the forces reshaping global energy. As geopolitics and technology evolve, CESI remains committed to supporting secure, resilient, and sustainable solutions across continents.
