Keeping the world moving: shipping’s lead role in the energy system

What happens when a global energy chokepoint closes?

In this episode of The Energy Podcast, we go inside Shell's response to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a disruption that put around a fifth of global oil and LNG supplies at risk.
 
Drawing on first-hand experience, Shell's Chief of Staff Tony Nunan and Executive Vice President Shipping and Maritime Karrie Trauth reflect on navigating uncertainty, supporting ships and crews affected by the crisis, and working with governments, partners and customers to help keep energy flowing safely.

From difficult decisions to the complexity of global shipping networks, this is a behind-the-scenes look at navigating a crisis when the world's energy system is under strain.

Strait of Hormuz: Inside the response to a global energy crisis

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.
