The conventional narrative about retail in emerging markets runs something like this: e-commerce is winning, physical retail is losing, and the only question is how fast the transition happens. The data from three markets — Slovakia, Ukraine, and the UAE — tells a more complicated story. Each faced the same structural pressure from digital commerce […]
Introduction: Nuclear’s Second Wind Nuclear energy occupies a paradoxical position in the twenty-first century energy landscape. Once heralded as the technology that would deliver limitless, clean electricity, it fell into prolonged disrepute following the accidents at Three Mile Island (1979), Chernobyl (1986), and Fukushima (2011). Decades of regulatory tightening, cost overruns, and public mistrust combined

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, the issue of energy security has once again moved to the center of European politics. After wars, sanctions, price shocks, and the accelerated “green transition,” Europe is entering a new phase in which energy is no longer just a technical or economic sector. It becomes the foundation of geopolitics, industrial strategy, and national

At a time when the world is undergoing a massive transformation of energy markets, Africa is gradually stepping out of the shadow of traditional oil and gas suppliers. Amid geopolitical shifts, resource shortages, and the accelerating transition to renewable energy, more and more countries on the continent are seeking their own paths toward energy self-sufficiency.

In my previous blog, I analyzed how the full-scale war has changed Ukraine’s energy sector and why renewables have become the foundation of a new development model. “Green” energy truly offers Ukraine strategic prospects for integration with Europe, but it cannot be the sole pillar in times of war and reconstruction. For system stability, a balance
