Global energy crisis: Shaky decarbonisation outcomes?


Listen Later

Hello, this is Nuno Gomes for the Academic Observer on Economics, Business and Finance and for this episode I want to tackle the global energy crisis. Some points mentioned during the episode: 

Minute 01:02: Genesis of UK´s gas crisis: Gas dependancy? Lack of energy-supply diversity? Brexit? Renewable energy unreliability? 

Minute 03:36: Global Markets for Energy Commodities: Record high numbers for Natural Gas TTFs, WTI, Brent and Dubai Crude Oil prices, Coal prices too. 

Minute 07:11: France Nuclear Approach: Right or wrong? Nuclear fusion and breeder-reactor programme by ITER could supply free energy for all!

Minute 09:07: Answering the question: How can one supply progressively larger amounts of energy output to meet world demand in a sustainable manner? Decarbonisation techniques for non-renewable energy sources e.g. Deep-sea $1.7 billion "Carbon Capture & Storage" CCS to turn oil extraction carbon-neutral, and more ideas!

Minute 12:22: Recorded talk with social scientist Holly Jean Buck, her take on Carbon Revolution. Debunking Malthusian perspectives and explaining today's Shaky decarbonisation outcomes
