For decades, Australia’s economy has been fundamentally underpinned by large-scale extraction and export of fossil fuels. The country consistently ranks among the world’s top three exporters of coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG), historically supplying the basic energy needs of Asia’s largest industrial economies. Yet today, Australia’s energy sector is undergoing the most sweeping structural […]
The illusion of absolute energy independence is one of the most common myths in public policy. For small countries or states whose infrastructure has suffered critical destruction, attempts to achieve full autarky are not only economically unfeasible but also technically dangerous. Small energy systems (like Moldova’s) or systems that have lost a significant portion of

In the traditional European commercial real estate model, the landlord-tenant relationship is often transactional: the owner provides the walls, and the tenant provides the rent check. However, Roksolana Pyrtko, an expert navigating the corridors of both Dubai and European markets, argues that this model is becoming obsolete. While Europe offers unmatched stability and heritage, Dubai
Gas dependence remains one of the key vulnerabilities of Europe’s energy system, even after the sharp reduction in supplies from traditional sources in 2022–2024. While import volumes have formally changed, the role of natural gas in the EU economy—across industry, power generation, and energy system balancing—has not diminished. The current stabilization is not the result
For decades, coal has ensured Poland’s energy stability, supported industry, and reduced the risk of generation shortages during peak periods. However, by 2030 this model is becoming increasingly expensive—both due to the cost of CO₂ emissions and the structural transformation of Europe’s electricity market. Today, the key question is not whether renewable energy is needed,

After several years of energy crises, political declarations, and loud promises, the world is entering a phase where infrastructure is key. The year 2026 is not a symbolic date for the energy transition — it is the year when a number of major projects move from planning to full operation, establishing a new logic for

For decades, Argentina lived with a paradox all too familiar to every energy expert: the country possesses exceptional resources — world-class shale gas, high-quality lithium, and vast wind and solar potential — yet it consistently failed to convert this wealth into stable growth. Macroeconomic volatility and unpredictable rules of the game repeatedly interrupted investment cycles.
In the years 2026–2035, the world will enter a period of the most massive transformation of energy markets in modern history. Countries are revising energy production and consumption models, investing in decarbonization, and forming new supply chains for critical materials. Against this backdrop, the question is increasingly being raised: can India move beyond its status
India’s Potential to Become a Driver of the Global Energy Transition in 2026–2035 Read More »
In the 21st century, a quiet but fundamental shift has taken place — one that has radically redefined the very concept of energy security. If in the previous century oil and gas shaped geopolitics, industrial development, and economic stability, today this role is gradually shifting to critical materials: lithium, nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements.
In 2025, energy finally ceased to be just an economic category — it has become the main instrument of global politics. After several years of wars, sanctions, and an accelerated “green transition,” the world has entered a new phase of energy geopolitics, where the boundaries between allies and competitors are often blurred. Europe is trying
