The authors explain why, over the next decade, gas geoeconomics policies can enhance energy security, solidify market liberalization, and also reduce emissions by maximizing the use of clean-burning natural gas. Central and Eastern Europe offer fertile ground for interested countries to partner with the United States in this policy direction.

Gabriel Collins, the Baker Botts Fellow in Energy & Environmental Regulatory Affairs, analyzes the impact of China’s emerging demographic decline, debt burden and increasingly likely structural economic growth downshift on global oil and gas markets.

The China Energy Map provides an interactive and comprehensive visualization of China’s key energy infrastructure. The map shows oil infrastructure layers, including the locations of crude oil pipelines, refined product pipelines, oil refineries, crude oil and products storage facilities and oil ports; coal power plants; nuclear power plants, and EV battery factories.

China is powering its growing EV industry with the world’s largest coal fleet. Click here for an interactive map that illustrates the geospatial and chronological relationship between the development of China’s coal and nuclear power infrastructure and its EV battery factories.

This policy report explains how specific tools of economic statecraft can be applied to reduce risks caused by dependence on People’s Republic of China-dominated supply chains for critical goods. It offers foundational building blocks for the formulation and implementation of a larger strategy to reduce American vulnerabilities to China.

Current gloom notwithstanding, oil will likely remain the world’s most important energy resource for multiple decades, says energy fellow Gabriel Collins. Baker Institute blog: https://bit.ly/34fV3d1

The authors evaluate Argentina’s energy sector and test the hypothesis that investments in tight oil and shale gas extraction expose investors to fewer risks than extracting conventional oil and gas. This working paper is part of a series titled “The Role of Foreign Direct Investment in Resource-Rich Regions.”
