The global energy crisis has become a major concern for the world in recent years, and this challenge is expected to continue into next year. Many factors influence this crisis, including dependence on fossil fuels, climate change, and geopolitics. Next year, we can expect a number of trends and changes that will influence global energy dynamics. One of the main trends is the increase in demand for renewable energy. The global community is increasingly aware of the negative impact of the use of fossil fuels on the environment. Therefore, countries around the world are launching policies to increase the use of renewable energy such as solar, wind and bioenergy. Research shows that investment in renewable energy technologies will peak in 2024. Geopolitics also plays an important role in the energy crisis. Tensions between oil producing countries, such as OPEC, and consuming countries, such as the US and Europe, will continue. Political uncertainty in the Middle East and Russia can cause significant oil price fluctuations. To overcome this issue, many countries are looking for alternatives to free themselves from dependence on imported oil. The shift towards electrified mobility is another trend that will dominate next year. With increasing awareness regarding air pollution and climate change, many automakers are planning to accelerate production of electric vehicles (EVs). Support from the government in the form of incentives for EV purchases is also expected to become more widespread, which will accelerate the adoption of clean energy. Additionally, the development of energy storage technologies, such as batteries, will be crucial. Currently, the big challenge of renewable energy is efficient storage and distribution. Many technology companies will invest in increasing energy storage capacity to ensure reliable and sustainable supply. The global energy crisis has also highlighted the need to diversify energy sources. Countries that depend on a single primary energy source should be mindful of the risks that come with it. By introducing alternative energy sources, they can increase energy security and reduce the impact of energy price fluctuations. Finally, international collaboration must be enhanced to effectively address this crisis. It is hoped that forums such as the G20 and COP will continue to be platforms for discussions on sustainable energy policies. International agreements supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental protection need to be strengthened. In facing the global energy crisis next year, awareness, innovation and collaboration are the keys to creating a more sustainable and resilient energy system. Every step towards a greener future will be a valuable investment for future generations.
