Global Energy as the Foundation of Economic Growth and Well-Being: In Search of Balance

Energy is a key factor that dictates how civilizations develop. In the modern world, we cannot imagine our lives without light, heat, smartphones, computers, or travelling by car or plane. For all these things to be manufactured and work properly, we need complex, labour-intensive, and high-tech work in all segments of the fuel and energy industry, from the extraction and processing of energy resources to the direct production and distribution of energy. The unlawful sanctions against Russia and other producer countries have destabilized the entire global energy market, which has led to increased price volatility and local shortages of various types of energy resources. This not only directly affects consumers in the countries that initiated this turmoil, but also in the countries of the Global South that do not support it. It is also slowing down prospects for economic growth and the well-being of the global economy. In these conditions, what tools exist for cooperation between our countries to mitigate the side effects of these processes? What is the future of the global energy industry? Will cooperation and common sense prevail?

Russia–Africa: Unleashing the Potential of Energy Cooperation

Serious demographic potential and the need for accelerated economic growth are among the factors that dictate the need for the rapid development of the African energy market, which requires a substantial amount of investment, as well as the construction of new and modernization of existing energy infrastructure. Given the traditionally friendly ties between Russia and African countries, Russian fuel and energy companies are implementing a number of promising projects on the continent, which help contribute to the achievement of the seventh UN Sustainable Development Goal: ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all, primarily by increasing the level of electrification in African countries. Russian companies offer a wide range of modern technological solutions in traditional and renewable energy, which will enable African nations to develop their economies and improve people’s quality of life. What are the strategic priorities for the development of energy in African countries? In what areas do Russian companies have the best prospects to participate? How do the activities of Russian companies fit into this vision? What are some of the difficulties that may be encountered along this path?
