Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #oil
The Iran war has reminded everyone, but especially Africans, of the structural instability of fossil-fuel prices. For African trustees, directors, asset managers, and other fiduciaries, the question is not whether capital should reposition, but whether institutions will act before events compel them to do so.
While tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are rattling global oil markets, energy security is no longer defined solely by access to fossil fuels. What China has understood, and Europe has not, is that security now depends on electricity systems that can deliver low-cost power at scale and support heavy industry.
Energy shocks expose Asia Pacific's gas gamble, as plunging battery costs and flexible demand tools emerge as cheaper, more secure alternatives to ‘transition fuel’ liquified natural gas.
The 48th Asean Summit in Cebu closed last week vowing “just” energy transition yet fossil fuel dependence and “green extractivism” deepen inequalities.
