Demand for energy grew strongly in 2018 – why? And what does that mean for the energy transition? What significant events affected global energy markets last year? To address the questions above, the Center for Global Energy Policy will host Spencer Dale, BP Group Chief Economist, as he presents the findings of BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy 2019. Following his presentation, he will join Amy Myers Jaffe, Co-chair of CGEP’s Women in Energy Steering Committee and David M. Rubenstein senior fellow for energy and the environment and director of the Energy Security and Climate Change program at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Katherine Spector, CGEP Research Scholar, on a panel moderated by Jonathan Elkind, CGEP Senior Research Scholar. BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy provides an overview of what happened to energy markets in the prior year and a guide to future trends. Perhaps more importantly, it helps us better understand the complex world in which we operate and is considered of the most widely respected and highly anticipated global energy publications.

Tatiana Mitrova, a fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and former energy scholar at Moscow’s Russian Academy of Sciences, and Sergey Vakulenko, an oil and gas expert at Carnegie’s Russia Eurasia Center, argue that Russia and Ukraine are locked in an energy war that has become an adaptation spiral, despite growing human and economic costs and despite current US pressure on Ukraine. They observe Ukraine’s remarkable ability to withstand Russian strikes, while questioning claims that long-range Ukrainian strikes will be able to achieve game-changing damage on Russia. Ukraine and Russia have transformed the role of energy warfare in modern conflict, drawing on low costs drones but also new forms of technological resilience that are likely to make wars longer and more dangerous.
