They produce 70% of the emissions and without the energy transformation this would double because by the middle of the century, 70% of the world&#8217;s population will move to large cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, green energy has managed to be an important competitor for traditional energies. It has managed to grow exponentially thanks to its competitive prices and the technology that has made its production cheaper. This will bring important environmental benefits, which will also benefit the global economy. It is expected to reduce energy poverty in some regions that currently do not have access to this resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the big cities will continue to rule and by 2030, the 50 largest cities in the world will increase in wealth, affecting international politics. Therefore, changes and geopolitical consequences that affect the energy industry are expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1091 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/wrenergy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/working-group-meeting-dealing-with-clean-and-renewable-energy-issues.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wrenergy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/working-group-meeting-dealing-with-clean-and-renewable-energy-issues.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wrenergy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/working-group-meeting-dealing-with-clean-and-renewable-energy-issues-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wrenergy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/working-group-meeting-dealing-with-clean-and-renewable-energy-issues-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/>New agreements will be created in order to share and move resources from one region to another. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of creating international conflicts or affecting the economic stability of different countries. This is why the creation of government policies is essential to maintain control and avoid problems as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These policies will help ensure that the operations of the different power plants are adequately regulated, that there is good management of them and that, therefore, the outlook is ideal for investment. To achieve this, the political and private sectors must work together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Countries like Denmark already generate more than half of their electricity from renewable resources. Also, on one particular occasion, Germany, Portugal and Denmark managed to produce 100% of their energy sustainably for a few days. Ireland has also committed to its National Renewable Energy Action Plan since 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iceland is a very prominent country in the region, as it went from being one of the poorest to offering an excellent quality of life to its inhabitants. All thanks to the implementation of green energies. 100% of its electricity is sustainable, coming from hydrothermal and geothermal energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some regions in the world, such as those mentioned above, could achieve energy independence, which will be beneficial, since they will not depend on suppliers. However, they may choose to consume external energy if it is cheaper or there is an agreement or advantage to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The energy transition will not necessarily bring about a balance of power between countries, but it represents a growth opportunity for many of them. It will not be until 2030 that we will have a much more accurate picture of the regions that will use the most important energies today, such as electric transport, solar panels, green hydrogen, and even new alternatives that could become more important in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esta potencia mundial est\u00e1 muy cerca de alcanzar la autosuficiencia energ\u00e9tica. Lo cual quiere decir que pronto podr\u00e1 producir toda su energ\u00eda sin el apoyo de otros pa\u00edses de manera sustentable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Se ha posicionado de manera importante en distintos sectores como la rob\u00f3tica, inteligencia artificial y veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos. As\u00ed mismo, desde hace algunos a\u00f1os realizan esfuerzos en otras \u00e1reas para lograr la transici\u00f3n a las renovables. Por ejemplo, en 2017 se convirti\u00f3 en exportador de gas natural y se esperan grandes noticias en cuanto a la exportaci\u00f3n de aceite. Las micro redes tambi\u00e9n han sido una innovaci\u00f3n popular, tras el\u00a0 Hurac\u00e1n Sandy, comenzaron a tener un rol bastante importante en la transformaci\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A new world: The geopolitics of the energy transformation<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Energy Transformation: A Roadmap to 2050<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cities are the main consumer of energy and the main source of C02.
