Recent developments in the global energy crisis show a significant impact on the economy and the environment. Since the beginning of 2022, energy prices, especially oil and natural gas, have experienced a sharp increase due to geopolitical uncertainty, especially the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. International sanctions against Russia have caused global supply disruptions, resulting in price spikes. One of the main driving factors in this crisis is the world’s dependence on fossil energy sources. Until now, more than 80% of the world’s energy needs still depend on oil, gas and coal. The transition to renewable energy, although underway, is not yet fast enough to keep pace with the surge in energy demand following the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of renewable energy such as solar and wind is increasing, but storage and distribution infrastructure remains a challenge. On the government side, many countries are trying to increase energy security by investing in renewable energy projects. In Europe, measures to diversify energy sources are increasingly urgent. Several countries have begun seeking alternatives to Russian gas supplies by expanding ties with alternative gas producers such as Qatar and the United States. The industrial sector is also feeling the impact of this crisis. High energy costs affect the profit margins of many companies, especially in heavy industry. Some companies have been forced to stop production or shift focus to more efficient energy as a way to survive this situation. Innovation in energy efficiency is a key focus, where new technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and automation are used to reduce energy consumption. This energy crisis is also driving the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Demand for EVs is increasing sharply, in line with the need to reduce carbon emissions. Many countries have set ambitious targets to switch from fossil fuel vehicles to electric vehicles in the next few decades. Additionally, electric vehicle charging infrastructure is also developing rapidly, facilitating this transition. At the community level, the impact of the energy crisis can be seen from the increase in electricity and heating rates. Families in many countries must manage the conversion between energy needs and increasing costs. This creates significant social stress, especially for low-income families, who feel the greatest impact from rising energy prices. In an environmental context, the current energy crisis is a reminder of the importance of shifting to more sustainable energy sources. Global carbon emissions are estimated to increase due to high use of fossil energy, which triggers increasingly pronounced climate change. Global initiatives such as the Paris Agreement continue to encourage countries to take more aggressive steps to reduce emissions, but implementation often faces obstacles. Research into new technologies also shows potential for overcoming this crisis. The development of clean energy technology, more efficient energy storage, and increasing the capacity of smart energy systems continues to be carried out by many countries. Innovative projects such as hydrogen execution and battery recycling are also gaining attention. Finally, the response to the global energy crisis is increasingly prioritizing international collaboration. Forums such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) play an important role in coordinating global efforts to respond to this challenge. Thus, the latest developments in the global energy crisis are a matter of cross-border cooperation to create sustainable and mutually beneficial solutions for all parties.
