How the war in Ukraine will change the way the world uses energy

Russia's war against Ukraine Ukraine will fundamentally change the state of the world empire and its geopolitics. Russia's invasion of Ukraine should intensify Europe's efforts to end Russia's dependence on oil and gas, and force Europe to accelerate its transition to clean energy, European experts say. Finally, Russia's war against Ukraine forced Europe to move from mineral oil - mainly Russian oil and gas - to the next step.

At the same time, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered a historic revolution in the world of power. The attack has reached the electricity markets, not least because Europe relies on natural gas from Russia. The war exacerbated the problems of European gas dependence on Russia. Europe is dependent on Russia for about 40% of European gas and 25% of oil sales, and any disruption could exacerbate the current energy crisis.

Russia will lose a significant source of revenue and will explicitly anger Western Europe by forcing countries to take extreme measures to end reliance on the sale of natural gas permanently. Reducing oil prices in Russia will increase prices and accelerate inflation that has hit the United States and Europe as Europe strives to shut down Russia's gas. Global oil prices are already rising, and the White House is reluctant to block Russia's energy sales, saying it will exacerbate the price crisis. Indeed, many, including the International Energy Agency, said that Russia is already armed with gas, carrying supplies despite record prices in Europe.

The problem, dear colleagues, is that today Russia is the world's largest oil exporter and exporter of natural gas. Russia is the world's second-largest exporter of crude oil and exports the world's largest natural gas, which is vital for heat, energy, and fuel. As the world's largest exporter of oil and gas, Russia has strong ties with more than 22 European countries, as well as China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and others. The war raises important questions about power relations between Europe and Russia.

Meanwhile, a growing number of officials say the European Union needs to get more gas in order to be "self-sufficient", especially in Russia. Despite widespread speculation about how the European energy sector should respond to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, analysts have begun to wonder if Europe could completely break away from Russian oil.

We live in a different world today, and we know that now we must also talk about how to use the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a motive to support these Syrian children, and how we can be strong and independent without gas and residues. oil throughout Europe. Energy experts have told Al Jazeera that Russia's invasion of Ukraine could suppress renewable energy in the stratosphere and put the European Commission in a position to meet its carbon goals, but soon it will lead to power outages, factory closures, and unusual electricity prices. health. As we strive to replenish our power to replace Russian virgins, Russia’s long-term negative impact can be enhanced and should be enhanced by the need for renewable energy. After years of gradual deviation from coal and oil, it could be catastrophic in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if countries return to fossil fuels under the Ukrainian military.

Asking Western governments important questions about how to deal with the threat of democracy, Vladimir Putin, the world's leading energy adviser, used Russia's supply of fossil fuels in Europe as a "political and economic weapon" in the Ukrainian war. "And avoid the weather. The impetus for Europe to reduce its dependence on Russia's electricity and move closer to renewable activities, while defeating Russian President Vladimir Putin and climate change, including the UK and the UK, should have happened sooner. A new framework to understand global energy markets.

Russia consumes more than 30% of Europe's greenhouse gas, industrial power, and electricity, and other potential sources of electricity could not close the gap if Russia's gas is cut, Rystad Energy analysts say. Europe and the United States are reportedly preparing to impose sanctions on Russia in the event of an attack, reduce funding and transfer technology to new projects, which is seen as a way to target its energy sector while avoiding temporary damage to Western power. markets. In response to any supply disruptions from Russia, Western countries could impose many sanctions on its energy sector, including banning countries and companies from buying oil and gas from the power giants of Rosneft and Gazprom.

In Italy, Reuters reported that Energy Minister Roberto Cingolani said the Ukraine crisis had accelerated the need for structural changes in European energy markets, including gas storage. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has exposed the danger of Europe's dependence on Russian power, especially in countries it sees as a bridge that can help them switch to renewable energy, said Michael Meling, deputy director of the Center for Energy and Environment. Politics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On Wednesday, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki revealed that Biden officials were considering imposing sanctions on Russia, but that is a very difficult call given the high oil prices in the US and the European Union.
