Energy Security Strategies
Regional Perspectives on Dependence and Interdependence
The availability and distribution of energy resources differs, and the global, and regional, competition for them is picking up speed. China, one of the countries with very high growth rate, was the second largest net oil importer behind the United States in 2009. The European Union is another region which is heavily dependent on import. In 2008, about 54 percent of EU’s internal energy consumption was imported (EU27).
The Network Oil and Gas has invited representatives from regions with large energy imports to provide their views on import versus export and the motives behind the chosen strategies to secure future energy needs. The seminar topics are the following:
· The current energy situation in the region and the extraction of energy raw materials
· The regional strategies on energy security; e.g. the future of alternative resources
· The driving forces for securing energy resources outside the regions’ borders and the effect on international relations
Confirmed speakers at the seminar are:
Zhao Hongtu; Research Professor, China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.
Jean-Arnold Vinois; Head of Unit for Energy policy, Security of Supply & Networks, European Commission.
