News- <\/strong>The article explains the current energy crisis and its implications.<\/p>\n

What are some facts related to the current energy crisis?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This has been initiated by Russia’s invasion of Europe.<\/p>\n

According to the IEA, the world is in the midst of the first global energy crisis, a shock of unprecedented breadth and complexity.<\/p>\n

It is much broader-based than the crisis in the 1970s. It does not cover just oil, but gas and other fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

Between January and July this year, the IMF global price index has risen by 72%. But since then, the gas prices have fallen drastically due to lower demand.<\/p>\n

The epicenter of the crisis has been Europe.<\/p>\n

What will be the implication of this crisis?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There is a longer term shift. Even if the situation normalizes, Europe’s dependence on Russia will not be the same. The rupture between their energy relation will be permanent.<\/p>\n

Germany is looking for other alternatives to meet energy needs. Major replacements have been Norway, Netherland.<\/p>\n

Ripples of these realignments will be felt by big consumers like India. It will have to make more efforts to secure energy supply.<\/p>\n

Russia will have to look for new buyers for its oil as the full European embargo on Russian oil begins in February next year.<\/p>\n

Countries will have to prioritize energy security over other goals.<\/p>\n

There will be a transition towards clean energy. IEA energy outlook says that coal demand will plateau by next few years and natural gas by next decade.<\/p>\n

What is the scenario of India?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

India dependence on Russian oil is not a short-term shift. India will likely be a major buyer in years to come. If Russia is able to build a pipeline in Asia infrastructure in Asia, India could be a major importer of Russian gas.<\/p>\n

Renewable will continue to grow in importance. IEA Energy Outlook says that coal share in electricity generation\u00a0 will fall by 20% in less than a decade. Share of solar power and wind energy in electricity generation will rise to about 27% from the current 10%. But it will be a major consumer of fossil fuel.<\/p>\n
