Transatlantic divide: US and EU chart different energy transition paths

In this episode of Energy Evolution, host Eklavya Gupte explores the growing divergence between European and US climate policies nearly a year into Donald Trump's second presidential term. As the US pivots toward fossil fuel expansion and rolls back clean energy initiatives, Europe is recalibrating its energy transition pace amid mounting concerns about economic competitiveness and affordability. The discussion features Laurent Ruseckas, executive director of gas, geopolitics and finance, and Coralie Laurencin, director of European gas, power and carbon policy, both at S&P Global Commodity Insights. They examine Europe's pushback on climate regulations, implementation challenges facing the EU's methane rules and the carbon border adjustment mechanism, and how surging US LNG supplies could strengthen transatlantic energy ties.
