S1. 15. Europe faces economic slowdown due to high energy prices ft Christian Egenhofer

Given the geopolitical developments and their direct impact on the energy market, Europe is in need to look at alternatives to satisfy its energy needs, namely liquefied natural gas. This development has disrupted Europe’s move towards electrification as low carbon alternatives are still decades away from supplying the continent with the energy it needs. Europe’s response has been fragmented and uncoordinated. Are renewables the solution? How much time will it take Europe to undertake the necessary steps to satisfy its energy needs?  Our host Tom Parker is joined by Christian Egenhofer, senior research fellow at CEPS where he has been heading the Energy, Resources and Climate Change Unit from 2000 to 2019.  For further reading on CEPS’ policy research and Christian Egenhofer’s work, follow this link.  Watch this episode here Hosted on Acast.
