About Us
We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
The Center on Global Energy Policy is pleased to host a presentation and discussion on China’s role in global energy finance with Kevin Gallagher, Boston University’s Pardee School of Global Studies and Co-director, Global Economic Governance Initiative and Bo Kong, ConocoPhillips Petroleum Professor of Chinese and Asian Studies and Assistant Professor of International and Area Studies, University of Oklahoma. They will be discussing two of their recent studies — Mr. Gallagher’s study titled ‘Fueling Growth and Financing Risk’ focuses on China’s global developmental finance institutions in general and China’s policy bank lending to foreign governments for energy in particular, and Mr. Kong’s study ‘The Globalization of Chinese Energy Companies’ which examines the extent to which the Chinese state has facilitated the globalization of Chinese energy companies. Center Inaugural Fellow David Sandalow will moderate the discussion after the presentations.
As the Israel-Iran conflict continues to unfold, it remains unclear whether a ceasefire will hold or fighting will resume. This uncertainty carries significant implications for energy markets in the Middle East and around the world.

Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
US tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil may stem more from frustrations in US-India trade negotiations than from a concern about funding Russia’s war in Ukraine.
