China and global energy security / Qiang Liu

The world energy market is undergoing tremendous changes in terms of production and consumption, resulting in a new landscape of global energy security. At the same time, renewable energy, smart grids, and hydrogen energy will bring about a new energy geopolitical map. Under such circumstances, countries around the world should accelerate energy transition through innovations in production, consumption, technology, and institutions. They can leverage China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to further the integration of Asian, European, and African energy markets, and improve common energy security while circumventing potential risks.
