Texas is the source of about one-quarter of all energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the US industrial sector and about one-eighth of all CO2 emissions from the US power generation sector, with a significant proportion of emissions in both sectors located near the gulf coast. As such, Texas has the opportunity to capture significant economies of scale in carbon capture.

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.

The authors explore the history of the resource curse and provide summarize the working paper series titled “The Role of Foreign Direct Investment in Resource-Rich Regions.”

Energy fellow Jim Krane investigates the strategy of “security through investment,” in which states deliberately use foreign direct investment to balance against a regional hegemon. This working paper is part of a series titled “The Role of Foreign Direct Investment in Resource-Rich Regions.”

The author highlights the historical evolution, outcomes and implications of some of Japan’s most important investments in the energy sectors of resource-rich countries in the Middle East. This working paper is part of a series titled “The Role of Foreign Direct Investment in Resource-Rich Regions.”

The authors examine merits of using a gas geoeconomics approach to develop U.S. and EU policy options to bolster gas supplies and national security in Europe.

The authors investigate two plausible causes for the significant price discount of U.S. crudes during the U.S. “shale boom” and evaluate how much each mattered.
