The current global energy crisis is deepening, fueled by factors such as climate change, geopolitical tensions and post-pandemic increases in energy demand. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are experiencing significant acceleration. Many countries are investing in green infrastructure with a target of net-zero emissions in the coming decades. Governments around the world are starting to shift away from fossil fuels by accelerating the transition to clean energy. For example, the European Union is trying hard to reduce dependence on Russian gas, resulting in a surge in LNG use from other countries such as the United States and Qatar. This move affected global energy prices, where average gas prices have increased dramatically. On the other hand, oil producing countries, such as OPEC, are trying to stabilize the market by regulating oil production. In 2023, OPEC+ shocked the world with a decision to cut production to maintain prices. This creates pressure on countries that rely on fossil energy, at least in Southeast Asia and Europe. Energy storage technology is also developing rapidly. Innovations in lithium-ion batteries and alternatives enable more efficient and reliable renewable energy storage. Companies like Tesla are leading the way in this sector, and collaboration between private companies and governments is intensifying to find sustainable solutions. This energy crisis also has a direct impact on consumers. Electricity and fuel costs increase, affecting people’s purchasing power. In various countries, protests regarding the high cost of living are becoming more frequent, creating dissatisfaction among the people. Countries are making various efforts to address these impacts, from energy subsidies to savings programs for households. The transport sector is at the forefront of this change. Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly popular, supported by incentives from the government. Many countries are designing policies to accelerate EV adoption, with a target of eliminating fossil fuel vehicles in the next few years. In addition, bioenergy and green hydrogen are starting to gain attention. Many studies and large-scale projects are underway to explore the potential of these two sources as long-term alternatives. Collaboration between the public and private sectors in renewable energy research is also being strengthened. This crisis also underscores the importance of energy efficiency. Smart technology and automation in buildings and factories can significantly reduce energy consumption. Counseling and education about responsible energy use is an integral part of climate change mitigation efforts. As a result, the global energy crisis forces us to think more about sustainability and innovation. With various efforts being made, hope for a greener and more sustainable future is becoming brighter. Society, industry and government must work together to find inclusive and effective solutions to this energy challenge.
