The energy transition can no longer be understood solely as a climate issue. Rivalry between China, the United States and Europe is entering a new phase. Beyond tariffs and trade disputes, competition now extends to industrial investment, technology transfer, strategic supply chains and access to critical raw materials.
Geopolítica de la Energía is a series by EsadeGeo, supported by Fundación Repsol, that examines the relationship between global power and the energy transition through a current affairs lens. In this second part of the previous episode, Angel Saz-Carranza, Director of EsadeGeo, speaks with Fernando Martínez Espejo, Head of the Analytical Unit at Global Trade Alert. Together, they explore how trade and investment flows between China and Europe are evolving, the role of export restrictions on strategic technologies and minerals, and Europe's growing interest in attracting Chinese industrial know-how in key sectors for the energy transition.
The episode also examines the new priorities set out in China's latest Five-Year Plan, the impact of geopolitics on business decisions, and the implications of this environment for competitiveness, corporate strategy and the future of European industry.
