“…The war in Ukraine forced the EU's energy policy to quickly focus on energy security and sustainable economy. Giuli and Oberthür (2023) consider that this war has become a "stimulus" for the EU27 towards the rapid implementation and convergence of energy security and climate objectives. Even if the energy transition is a common priority objective of the EU27, there are great disparities related to its implementation, especially in the new member states, where this transition started later.…”

The EU energy sector became a very important one as a result of the war in Ukraine. On the other hand, the EU started in defining and implementing new strategies regarding green economy and sustainability. Even though these strategies cover short and medium periods, they have as a main goal the decrease in the EU’s dependence of energy imports. This research is focused on present challenges, risks, and uncertainties related to energy production and consumption in all EU member states. In order to achieve the research objectives, a huge statistical database, which covered 2012–2021, was used. The analysis is based on specific indicators regarding primary energy production; imports and exports; gross available energy; final energy consumption; non-energy consumption; energy dependency; and energy intensity. There are at least three research procedures used in this paper: a meta-analysis, a statistical analysis, and an econometric analysis, as well. Finally, the analysis points out the disparities between member states regarding energetic resources and energy dependency using a new model for quantifying risk factors in the European energy system. Moreover, new public policies are proposed by the authors under a cluster approach of the EU’s regions.

“…This problem had an impact on decision-making at the highest levels of government. In 2022, the European Commission launched the EU's new external energy strategy, which aimed to support a global, clear and equitable energy transition for sustainable, secure and affordable energy (Kuzemko et al, 2022;Giuli & Oberthür, 2023). Later that year, the UK government announced a new energy security strategy designed to reduce the risk for British businesses and households in the fossil fuel energy market with simultaneous economic decarbonisation (Papadis & Tsatsaronis, 2020).…”

This study delves into the critical contemporary issue of global energy transition, focusing on European countries from 2004 to 2021. Its objective is to identify countries with similar rates of energy transition, utilising statistical measures and clustering techniques on Eurostat data. The paper explores energy efficiency, renewable sources, and energy import reliance. Findings show reduced primary energy consumption in EU-27, varied energy efficiency trends, and notable differences in renewables and import dependence. Clustering countries unveil diverse transition speeds. Policymakers can tailor effective strategies based on regional challenges and successes, fostering a nuanced understanding of economic, social, and environmental dynamics in the energy transition. This analysis offers valuable insights for informed policy-making in the complex landscape of global energy transformation.

“…Further, the EU stated nine months after the start of the war that "since existing hydrogen production relies on imported natural gas, Russia's war against Ukraine has put hydrogen, and renewable hydrogen in particular, in an even more prominent place in the EU's accelerated transition to shift away from Russian fossil fuels and diversify its energy supplies" [25]. This is also reflected in newer studies on energy security and green hydrogen [26,27], including analyses focusing on the impacts of the Russian war against Ukraine on German and/or European energy policies [20,28], often focusing on the immediate energy crises in winter 2022/2023 [3,29].…”

This contribution delves into the transformative effects of the Russian–Ukrainian war on the discourse surrounding German hydrogen. Employing structural topical modeling (STM) on a vast dataset of 2192 newspaper articles spanning from 2019 to 2022, it aims to uncover thematic shifts attributed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The onset of the war in February 2022 triggered a significant pivot in the discourse, shifting it from sustainability and climate-change mitigation to the securing of energy supplies through new partnerships, particularly in response to Russia’s unreliability. Germany started exploring alternative energy trading partners like Canada and Australia, emphasizing green hydrogen development. The study illustrates how external shocks can expedite the uptake of new technologies. The adoption of the “H2 readiness” concept for LNG terminals contributes to the successful implementation of green hydrogen. In summary, the Russian–Ukrainian war profoundly impacted the German hydrogen discourse, shifting the focus from sustainability to energy supply security, underscoring the interconnectedness of energy security and sustainability in Germany’s hydrogen policy.
