“…16 Energy trade between countries has always been used as a form of sanction by exporting countries. A study presented by Fischhendler et al in 2017 shows that between 1938 and 2017 there were 38 cases of energy sanctions. 17 Involved countries cut off fossil fuels supply but with renewable energy the trade between countries happens differently.…”

This paper discusses possible technical, economical and geopolitical consequences of the new energy scenario. We analyze the net zero emissions global race with an emphasis on the role renewable energies will play in this phenomenon and COP26's recent decisions on climate and energy transition. Using semiquantitative analysis method, the technological driving forces for future energy scenarios have been extrapolated. The technological developments and future scenarios regarding renewable energies are discussed comparing two different driving forces. Furthermore, there will be the discussion of possible geopolitical consequences due to fossil fuels trade depletion during energetic transition. Possible related consequences for MENA countries are investigated. In the last part there will be legal background analysis for electricity demand and renewable sources shift combined with techno-economical examples. Finally, considering all the contents, we drive our conclusions.This review comes from a team group presented during "GEM 2021-Green Energy Management, Towards a sustainable energy transition".

“…At the same time, freezing the financial assets disrupted energy investments and other cooperation actions between Iran and its trading partners, which also reduced Iran's production capacity [54]. More seriously, the sanctions also affected the energy supply of Iran and other Persian Gulf countries by interrupting energy transport corridors and lowering transportation efficiency, which can cause some insurance companies to refuse oil tanker insurance [55]. This shows that the disruption of energy exports and transport corridor movements by using economic sanctions poses serious risks to the global energy supply chain, and reduces the availability of energy products to importers.…”

How Do International Conflicts Impact China’s Energy Security and Economic Growth? A Case Study of the US Economic Sanctions on Iran

International conflicts cause global energy price fluctuations and supply disruptions, which can threaten energy security and economic growth in energy-importing countries, including China. However, the implications and impact mechanisms of international conflicts on the energy security and economy of oil-importing countries have been poorly explored. Using US economic sanctions on Iran as a case, a global energy-extended computable general equilibrium model, GTAP-E, is employed to assess the impacts of international conflicts on China’s energy production, trade and supply, sectoral outputs, and economic growth. The results indicate that the USA–Iran tension would threaten China’s energy security, mainly due to the instability of the energy supply and the consequent upsurge of energy prices. However, if increased oil exports from other Persian Gulf countries compensate for the global oil supply shortages, China’s energy supply would be generally assured. Moreover, because of the close energy cooperation links between Iran and China, the sanctions could decrease the Chinese outputs of non-energy sectors and economic growth. Nevertheless, compared with sole-sanction situations, the results from a possible USA–Iran tension escalation, going as far as Iran’s closure of the Hormuz Strait, could pose a more serious risk to China’s energy security and economic growth.

“…In addition, current studies on the impact of sanctions on energy are mostly based on a single case (country) study, such as sanctions against Russia and Iran, and there is a lack of empirical research based on statistical data from a global perspective. 16 Notably, international sanctions can influence the energy security of target countries in a direct or indirect way. Combining the literature mentioned above, we find that international sanctions exert a significant impact on oil production, 10 energy imports and exports, 39 and energy efficiency, 17 which inevitably affect the energy security of target countries.…”

“…While international sanctions have an impact on the political, economic, and diplomatic fields of the target country, they may also affect its energy security. 16 However, there are few empirical research studies exploring the impact of international sanctions on the energy security of target countries. 17 We look to fill this gap in the literature through our investigation.…”

This study first investigates different types of sanctions on energy security by employing data from a panel of target countries covering the period 1996–2014 and using the panel fixed effect model. Our evidence indicates that international sanctions do significantly negatively influence the energy security of target countries in some cases. Specifically, unilateral sanctions, U.S. sanctions, economic sanctions, and the intensity of sanctions have a significantly negative impact on energy security. However, plurilateral sanctions, EU sanctions, UN sanctions, and non-economic sanctions have no significant impact on the energy security of target countries. The results of endogeneity concerns are also consistent with the results of the basic regression analysis. Overall, our empirical findings merit particular attention from policy makers of target countries to ensure their energy security when facing international sanctions.
