Russia''s War in Ukraine: Green Policies in a New Energy Geopolitics

Clean energy and electrification are front and center in these efforts. As an example, the EU Commission''s REPowerEU plan both cements the phase-out of Russian energy imports and envisions a massive ramp-up of the green hydrogen economy. Germany is aiming for a fully renewable power sector by 2035.

Will Russia''s War Spur Europe to Move on Green Energy?

The strategy, which aims to cut EU dependency on Russian gas by two-thirds this year and completely end reliance on Russian gas supplies "well before 2030," includes fast-tracked deployment of solar energy and renewable hydrogen, the quick implementation of far-reaching energy-efficiency measures, and the production of 35 billion cubic

Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air

Welcome to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). We are an independent research organisation focused on revealing the trends, causes, and health impacts, as well as the solutions to air pollution.. Health-harming pollutants from burning fossil fuels are responsible for at least 3 million air pollution deaths per year. However, rapid

Russia''s war will hasten the drive for clean energy security

Russia is a huge producer and exporter of fossil fuels, especially oil and gas waging war on Ukraine and all this brings with it for geopolitics, its energy trade will change. It will be a short-term boost to other energy exporters, but the bigger effect will be a fundamental re-think on energy security which will accelerate decarbonisation.

Ukraine has seen success in building clean energy, which is harder

Geoffrey Pyatt, assistant secretary of the U.S. State Department''s Bureau of Energy Resources, said that Russian attacks on energy infrastructure have evolved. In 2022 and 2023, they focused on

Renewable energy in Russia

OverviewHistoryCurrent statusHydropowerGeothermal energySolar energyWind energyTidal energy

Renewable energy in Russia mainly consists of hydroelectric energy. Russia is rich not only in oil, gas and coal, but also in wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass and solar energy – the resources of renewable energy. Practically all regions have at least one or two forms of renewable energy that are commercially exploitable, while some regions are rich in all forms of renewable energy resources. However, fossil fuels dominate Russia''s current energy mix, while its abundant and

How does geopolitical risk affect clean energy generation? Daily

Most Western countries, including European ones, have responded to Russia with sanctions, while Russia has either restricted or reduced natural gas and oil supplies to Western economies in retaliation [4].The consequences of increasing tensions between Russia and Western countries are extremely dramatic: (i) falling energy supplies and booming energy

In-depth: Russia''s war means fossil fuels will peak within five years

That growth has been steadily eroded (blue lines), as shifts in government policy, technological progress – and now Russia''s war – have boosted clean energy. Black line: Historical global demand for fossil fuels, exajoules. Grey and blue lines: The shifting outlook for fossil fuel growth as policies have evolved since before Paris.

Russia''s Great Energy Game in the Middle East

As Russian-American and Russian-European relations continue to be dissected in numerous scholarly works, another narrative unfolds—one that concerns Russia''s evolving alliances with the Arab world and a significant pivot in its foreign policy approach. Post-Soviet Russia has largely inherited Soviet foreign policy toward the Middle East.

Europe moves away from Russia''s oil and gas

Russia''s revenue from oil and gas is down 45% year over year in the first quarter of 2023, according to business reports. Revenue from oil and gas made up nearly half of Russia''s federal budget in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
