F&D December 2022 Issue:
Dear Colleague,
High energy prices and supply disruptions since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have fueled a rush to ensure dependable energy. But achieving energy security may risk jeopardizing climate goals.
The December 2022 edition of F&D Magazine focuses on the scramble for energy, and what geopolitical tensions mean for the clean transition.
“The scramble for quick solutions to secure affordable and reliable energy could imperil climate action,” writes F&D editor-in-chief Gita Bhatt. “How do nations manage the gap between near-term energy needs and long-term green goals?”
To investigate this question, we present groundbreaking research and analysis from economists and other leading authorities in the world of energy economics. The issue covers a range of perspectives on topics including energy efficiency, affordability, green technologies, alternatives such as hydrogen and nuclear, and political economy.
We examine Poland’s pursuit of energy independence; and we look at the push towards renewables—from Chile’s bet on green hydrogen, to Kenya’s geothermal industry, to Indonesia’s solar future.
We hope this issue offers our readers some food for thought.
