An Interview with Peter Altmaier, Germany’s former Energy Minister

This week, Peter Altmaier, Germany’s former Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy (2018-2021) visited Calgary to speak at the PETRONAS International Energy Speaker Series hosted by the Centre for Corporate Sustainability at the Haskayne School of Business with the University of Calgary. After the Petronas Energy Speaker Series, Peter sat down with Jackie to talk about Europe’s energy crisis.  Here are some of the questions Jackie asked Peter Altmaier: Why did Germany become so reliant on Russian gas? Did he ever fear a scenario that Russia would use natural gas as a weapon?  How significant is the loss of the Nord Stream pipelines? Has Russia shred its reputation as a reliable supplier of energy forever?  What do you expect the energy situation in Germany will be this winter? How important will clean hydrogen and hydrogen imports be for Germany in the future? What was your reaction to Chancellor Scholz’s recent visit to Canada, on the lack of East Coast LNG and the possibly of green hydrogen?   Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ To see a transcript of this podcast, visit the link (scroll part way down the page): An Interview with Peter Altmaier, Germany’s former Energy Minister (arcenergyinstitute.com)
