The Strait of Hormuz remains shadowed by security risks after months of war in Iran. Venezuela is entering a new chapter following the capture of Nicolás Maduro. And Latin America is becoming the new battleground between China and the United States for control over hydrocarbons and critical minerals such as lithium and copper.
These are some of the flashpoints defining the geopolitics of energy today — a moment of deep uncertainty for global energy markets, where the transition is unfolding alongside tensions that never went away.
Angel Saz-Carranza, director of EsadeGeo, discusses all of this with Diego Rivera Rivota, Senior Research Associate at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. A conversation that moves across natural gas, LNG, and Latin America's growing role in the competition between major powers.
This is the first episode of Geopolitics of Energy, the new series by EsadeGeo with the support of Fundación Repsol, exploring the relationship between global power and the energy transition through the lens of current events.
