What is the ongoing disruption to global energy supplies revealing about the energy system?

In this first episode of a new season of The Energy Podcast, we step back from the headlines to examine how the system is responding to the shocks prompted by the Middle East conflict, and what it could mean for the energy transition.

With insights from Shell’s Chief Energy Adviser Peter Wood, Chief Economist Mallika Ishwaran, and Chief Climate Change Adviser David Hone, the discussion explores the resilience of global supply, the shifting balance between energy security, affordability and sustainability, and why the energy transition remains complex, uneven and long term.

Oil is the source of about 30% of the world's energy today. It’s also the basis of ingredients in many everyday products - from your phone to clothes to medicines. Featuring Shell's President of Upstream, Peter Costello, this episode of The Energy Podcast explores the evolving role of oil in the energy mix.

Peter discusses the future of oil in the energy transition, the impact of growing energy demand, and the need to continue investing in production that’s cost- and carbon-competitive to help provide the energy the world needs today.
