Why now
  • Recent Middle East war has intensified risks to global hydrocarbon supply chains.
  • Europe's accelerated shift from Russian gas to U.S. LNG increases exposure to supply shocks.
  • Closure of strategic chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz heightens immediate energy market uncertainty.
Why it matters
  • Europe's energy security is increasingly tied to volatile global LNG markets amid geopolitical conflict.
  • Disruptions in Middle East energy supply routes threaten the stability of European and Asian gas imports.
  • The conflict complicates renewable energy investments, delaying the energy transition in key regions.
