Energy Transition, how can we stop history repeating itself?
In a fossil-fuel dependent world, reliable access to oil and gas reserves is an essential component of any successful modern society. A pandemic and a war have once again shown, the sensitivity of global economics to the volatility of oil and gas prices.
But isn’t this the era of Net Zero? Yes it is; but in the UK and Europe at least, the focus has swiftly shifted from a predominantly environmental agenda to one reasserting energy security as a major consideration. The truth is both are important in a Just Transition.
Wind and other renewables may finally be on the cusp of providing a real alternative; removing our dependence on oil and gas and providing a path to greater stability and predictability.
By taking a diagonal slice through the energy continuum, looking at significant events in history; it is possible to identify key “transitional” moments on the evolutionary timeline of energy supply and demand. This allows us to investigate common themes that continue to apply to this day.
