Abstract:
Energy and its uses are one of the hallmarks of the beginning of human civilization, which began with the discovery of fire and the burning of biomass to produce heat for heating or cooking. the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century led to a change in the pattern of energy use from burning biomass to using coal, oil, and natural gas, as primary energy sources.
With the increase in the number of people over the years, the need for these non-renewable sources has doubled, pushing the environment to the brink of destruction and the climate change that we all suffer from.
The agency is interested in studies of energy security, and its political and geopolitical effects, as well as the effects of energy security on stability in the system and international peace.
