Oxford Energy Podcast – The Future of Gas in Europe, challenges to 2030
There is a need to watch closely to see how this develops. In this podcast David Ledesma discusses with James Henderson the role of natural gas in the energy transition in Europe. In this wide-ranging interview, it is noted that whereas gas is painted as a problem by many, maybe it should also be seen as a solution. Transition away from gas creates uncertainty and concerns over security of energy supply. There is a need for more dialogue between consumers and suppliers as transitioning to cleaner fuels away from natural gas means losing channels of cooperation and dialogue. The podcast also notes that the gas markets (and the
Oxford Energy Podcast – Lessons from a strategy of energy dominance

Oxford Energy Podcast – Lessons from a strategy of energy dominance
In this podcast, David Ledesma talks to Sarah Ladislaw, Senior Vice President and Director of the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at CSIS about why Energy Dominance was so important to the Trump administration and how its interpretation could change under a Biden presidency. In this wide-ranging discussion, Sarah argues that even though the era of energy dominance may be over, the intensity of clean-energy competition is just getting started and discusses the challenges and opportunities associated the US’s de
Oxford Energy Podcast – Asia LNG Price Spike: Perfect Storm or Structural Failure?
Mar 14, 2021 1:15:pm
Summary The big increase in spot Asian LNG prices in January to over $30/MMBtu has been called a ‘perfect storm’ of three factors – very cold weather in Northeast Asia, LNG supply issues at some export plants and a lack of spare LNG tanker capacity.

Oxford Energy Podcast – Asia LNG Price Spike: Perfect Storm or Structural Failure?
In this Podcast David Ledesma discusses with Mike Fulwood these issues as well as other more structural factors that exacerbated the market situation. Lack of any meaningful gas storage in Asia, especially in a country like Japan, meant that the market did not have any back-up storage and the fragmented nature of the Japanese market, with few pipeline interconnections between the main cities and regions, meant gas could not be moved around the country

Oxford Energy Podcast – China and the geopolitics of the energy transition
China is widely expected to be one of the biggest winners of the energy transition: not only has the country got a head start in the manufacture and deployment of renewables and batteries, it is also central to the supply chains of critical minerals. Moreover, China is expected to maintain a dominant role in the ‘old’ geopolitics of fossil fuels as it is likely to remain a large consumer of oil and gas for some time. China’s state-led model, with generous financing and policy support, has helped it achieve th
Since the 1980s the growth of the LNG business has been underpinned by third party finance, predominantly from international banks, under limited recourse project finance.
