When President Obama conceived of the New Energy Economy in 2009, the opposition labeled it as radical — something that would bankrupt the country for an amorphous goal. But since 2005, the United States has reduced its annual energy-related CO2 levels by 14% while its economy has grown by 28%.

Public policies are encouraging investment in clean energy alternatives, prompting utilities to buy solar-and-wind-powered electricity — fuels that have dropped precipitously in price and that are now increasingly economic.

Global hydrogen project pipeline will see strong growth in the next ten years as investments in the sector are predicted to reach $300 billion (£215bn) in total.

That’s according to a new report by the Hydrogen Council and McKinsey & Company, which suggests almost 228 large-scale projects in more than 30 countries have already been announced. The analysis estimates 85% of these projects are located in Europe, Asia and Australia.

Gathering momentum for the energy transition has sparked debate on what the energy map will look like in 30 years. For more than half a century now, access to oil and natural gas has been at the heart of the geopolitics of energy; but with renewable technologies set to dominate energy supply systems, relations between states will change, while economies and societies will undergo structural transformations.

This issue of the Oxford Energy Forum discusses the drivers and main features of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ geopolitics of energy.

Even though the United States has achieved the long-sought goal of energy self-sufficiency, energy security remains a strategic and economic challenge. Despite “self–sufficiency,” the U.S. still imports significant quantities of oil and natural gas, as well as solar panels and wind turbine components, and prices forall of these products reflect global market dynamics. Traditional concerns about global supply disruptions remain, and new risks have also emerged.

Domestic energy availability can be impacted by storms, terrorism and cyber threats.
