Global instability has dramatically affected both the supply and, as a consequence, the price of energy in recent years. Energy costs aren\u2019t the only thing holding back Europe\u2019s competitiveness, but pricing shock certainly hasn\u2019t helped.<\/p>\n<p>While the bloc races to decarbonise in time to achieve climate goals, can it withstand any more crises? In this episode of The Big Question, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Dr Fatih Birol sits down with Hannah Brown to discuss how the drive for clean energy will make Europe more resilient to crises.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How are global conflicts affecting the energy transition?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThe main sentiment held by Dr Birol is that, whilst conflict continues, countries cannot work together to tackle issues such as climate change. When asked what changes he hopes to see before the next World Energy Outlook, a report published by the IEA every October, Dr Birol said he wants to see countries come together \u201cand try to get some consensus on how we go forward\u201d. Despite the lack of global collaboration, and perhaps surprisingly, because of conflict and crises, the race for renewable energy has sped up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more we go for clean energy, the more resistant we are to these crises because nobody can take solar or wind as a hostage,\u201d Dr Birol told Euronews. \u201cThe more these energy security threats, as a result of the political tensions we see, the stronger the push for clean energies, not only for climate change reasons, but for energy security reasons.\u201d \u2018We can solve poverty\u2019: How will impact investing change the face of charitable finance? \u2018Waste doesn\u2019t exist\u2019: How can we build sustainable industry?<br \/>\nAccording to Dr Birol, we are entering \u201cthe age of electricity\u201d, and the majority of it is produced from clean energy.<\/p>\n<p>Solar, wind, hydropower and nuclear make up a big part of Europe\u2019s clean mix but Dr Birol suggests geothermal energy should become a more important ingredient in the bloc\u2019s energy cocktail. \u201cThis can help us to generate electricity without interruption,\u201d Dr Birol explained, adding that, unlike wind or solar, it\u2019s available 24\/7. \u201cWe are working hard to bring the cost of geothermal energy down so that it also complements solar and wind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2024\/11\/11\/nobody-can-take-solar-or-wind-hostage-iea-chief-on-creating-a-secure-energy-supply\">Euronews Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/nobody-can-take-solar-or-wind-hostage-iea-chief-on-creating-a-secure-energy-supply\/\">\u2018Nobody can take solar or wind hostage\u2019: IEA chief on creating a secure energy supply<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16878,846,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-iea-chief","tag-supply","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135295\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
