The Nuclear and Technology Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding signed between Türkiye and the Republic of Korea is not merely a technical agreement. It marks the emergence of a new strategic axis stretching from Asia to the Mediterranean. This partnership, grounded in critical domains such as SMR development, LNG logistics, defense technologies and deep-sea engineering, transforms the long-standing solidarity between the two nations into a geopolitical capacity.

Libya is making a decisive return to the center of energy geopolitics after nearly eighteen years. The newly opened licensing round of twenty two blocks, now accessible to international investors, is not simply a revival of upstream activity. It is a strategic development that could reshape the Mediterranean energy architecture, redefine Europe’s supply security calculations and recalibrate the balance of an increasingly multipolar global competition.

Power of Siberia 2 is no longer a technical project; it has become a test that reveals how states perceive one another, what they are willing to risk, and which strategic costs they are prepared to accept. Mongolia’s completion of all route-related preparations and its decision to hand the process over to China marks the first clear public signal of a negotiation that has been unfolding behind the scenes for years.

Today, cracks are being heard throughout the supply chain stretching from Japan to Europe. The ENEOS announcement made one fact even clearer: The weakest link of the global energy transition can no longer be hidden. Dependence on China in the turbine supply chain, rising maritime logistics costs, financing pressure and geopolitical risks…

The energy transition is not being shaped by technology alone. It is being shaped by who processes the critical minerals. And the winners of this race will not be the countries that merely possess resources. They will be the countries that can transform those resources.

The FLOW Ports Alliance (Floating Offshore Wind Ports Alliance) has been established as a new port cooperation model between the United Kingdom, France, and Ireland. At first glance, everything seems to begin with clean energy. But it is not just about installing turbines. Whoever owns the infrastructure, manages the ports, and lays the cables beneath the sea is also the one who makes the decisions. The FLOW Alliance is not only an energy investment by three countries but a s

Held in Belém, the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) has moved beyond a technical environmental summit. It has evolved into a multi-layered contest of power involving energy diplomacy, financial governance, CBAM tensions, and coastal security. Who will build infrastructure at the heart of the Amazon? Who will expand their sphere of influence through climate funds? How deep does the legitimacy crisis of climate architecture go?

With its long coastline and advanced technological capacity, Japan stands out as one of Asia’s most promising candidates for offshore wind energy. However, complex tendering mechanisms, high investment costs, local bureaucratic influence and governance-related disruptions continue to undermine this potential.

Energy security has long been discussed in terms of reserves, production capacity and pricing models. However, the recent tension observed in the Somalia – Red Sea corridor reminds us once again that the center of gravity in the energy architecture has shifted from underground to the seas. The rhythm of energy flows is no longer defined by the wells, but by the vulnerability of the corridors.

Africa holds 30% of the world’s critical minerals. China’s infrastructure dominance, the Gulf’s expanding capital reach, Western concerns over supply chain security, and Türkiye’s growing diplomatic presence are all placing the continent at the critical intersection of energy, technology, and financial policy. But today, the question is not who extracts them It is where they are processed and who controls the chain.

Renewable Yet Fragile: Is Europe’s Wind Power in China’s Hands? The European Union aims to quadruple its offshore wind capacity by 2030. At the core of this goal lies a critical question. Who controls the supply chain behind this transformation? China’s influence, stretching from wind turbines to rare earth elements, is quietly shaping Europe’s energy transition into a new form of dependency. While moving away from fossil fuels, is Europe entering a phase of technological re

In an era where the energy transition is accelerating, why are new natural gas fields still being discovered? Kuwait’s major offshore gas discovery announced in October 2025 is not merely an energy headline. This move strengthens China’s strategic supply chain, puts pressure on Europe’s fragile supply architecture, creates alternatives to Russia’s energy influence, and places Turkey in a new position between technical capacity and diplomatic outreach.

Energy, data, security, infrastructure, and invisible agreements. From a $350 billion deadlock to North Korean missiles, from the collapse of multilateralism to the new geopolitics of green transition… This year’s APEC Summit, hosted by South Korea, was not just a meeting. It was the cipher of a changing era. No decisions were made, but a direction was given.

The United Kingdom has reduced its offshore wind budget. Investors are cautious, supply chains remain fragile, and costs continue to rise. This picture is not only financial; it also delivers a strategic message. Europe is no longer asking how many turbines it can build, but whose turbines they are. The energy transition is accelerating, yet sovereignty is quietly shifting hands.

Europe is accelerating its energy transition, but the sound of the turbines no longer belongs to its own wind. Each offshore turbine connects the continent a little more to China’s industrial network. Today, energy sovereignty is no longer measured by reserves but by who holds control of the infrastructure chain. As the green transition deepens, technological dependence quietly grows. Europe is trying to manage the transition, but who manages the infrastructure of that transi

The European Union has banned the import of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) as part of its 19th sanctions package. The Union’s priorities are now clear: energy security, strategic autonomy, and geopolitical resilience. This decision reshapes not only Europe’s energy supply, but also its foreign policy direction, economic independence, and climate strategy.

Berlin’s approval of gas production in the Wadden Sea has quietly reignited the debate over the limits of idealism in European energy policy. The decision illustrates how the fine line between energy security and climate commitments is being redefined across the continent. The question is no longer “Which energy source?” It is “At what speed, at what cost, and under what security framework?”

Shell has announced a new 2 billion dollar gas investment off the coast of Nigeria. This decision is not only commercial but also a move that redefines the geoeconomic weight of gas in the energy transition. While the West advocates for “decarbonization,” Africa emphasizes its “right to development.” This debate brings the fair and realistic limits of the energy transition back into focus.

Europe’s New Weapon: Carbon Set to take effect in 2026, the CBAM is far more than an environmental policy. This time, Brussels’ objective is not merely climate action but a complete rewriting of the rules of global competition. With the new support package, Omnibus I regulations and global carbon pricing initiatives, CBAM is no longer a “tax.” It has evolved into a geo-economic strategy.

Australia’s decision to delay the planned closure of its coal-fired power plants signals a new direction in its energy policy. This move brings back the debate between idealism and practicality in the global energy transition. Energy security is no longer defined solely by diversification, but by infrastructure stability and financial resilience. The Australian case reminds us that the success of the transition depends not on speed, but on how sustainably it is managed.
