Abstract:
Energy and its uses represent one of the features of the beginning of human civilization, which began with the discovery of fire and the burning of biomass to generate heat for the purpose of heating or cooking. Then, the industrial revolution at the end of the eighteenth century led to a shift in the pattern of energy use from burning biomass to using coal, oil, and natural gas as primary energy sources.
As the population increased over the years, the need for these non-renewable sources doubled. Which has pushed the environment to the brink of destruction and climate change from which we all suffer.
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.
