Trump said US oil and gas will be sold worldwide.

In 2023, the UN UN Climate Summit in the United Arab Emirates ended with the demand of “transition from fossil fuel.” I applauded from world climate action to historical milestones.

But one year later, there is a fear that the growth of clean energy transitions can lose its driving force. The speed is slow The down continues to rise while burning fossil fuels.

And now there is a US president. Donald Trump’s “National Energy Emergency”It has already begun to affect some countries and energy companies that accept fossil fuels and abandon clean energy policies.

In response to Trump’s “Drill, Baby, Drill” slogan Aim to increase fossil fuel extraction, For example, the United States, which informs the withdrawal of the Paris Climate Agreement, suggests that it can follow the same lawsuit as Indonesia.

The United States is already the world’s largest oil and gas producer.

‘Why should we do it if we don’t do that?’

“If the United States does not want to comply with the international agreement, why should we comply with countries like Indonesia?” Hashim djojohadikusumo, special envoy for climate change and energy in Indonesia, As reported by the telecommunications company Antara, operated by the government of this country.

Indonesia remains in a list of 10 carbon deacons for many years.

“Indonesia said in the ESG Sustainable Forum 2025, held in Jakarta on January 31,” Indonesia produces 3 tons of carbon per year per year, while the United States produces 13 tons. “

“But we heard to close the power plant … So where is the sense of justice here?”

Nithi Nesadurai, director of Southeast Asia, said that her regional signal is related.

She said, “The world’s richest country and the largest oil producer in the world,” said, “Increasing production is an easy excuse to increase his work.”

In South Africa, the largest economy in Africa, major carbonimids, and $ 8.5 billion in the coal sector, the $ 8.5 billion foreign aid conversion project has already been moving at the speed of snails and is now fear that it can be more derailed.

Wikus Kruger, director of Power FutureS Lab at the University of Cape Town, said that the dismantling of old coal -fired power plants is likely to be “more delayed.”

But he said he had grown in the clean energy sector, which was expected to continue, but it was expected to continue.

While major carbon eradication developed countries such as Indonesia are not expected to reduce emissions, the best images like us continue to produce and burn more fossil fuels.

Argentina withdrew negotiations for several days after Trump won the US presidential position at the COP29 Climate Conference in Baku in November. Since then, he has led Trump’s initiative to withdraw from the 2015 Paris Convention.

Enrique Viale, chairman of the Argentine Environmental Bar Association, told the BBC, “We expect to increase oil and gas production.

“President Milei suggests that he plans to withdraw from the Paris Convention and said that environmentalism is part of Woke Agenda.”

meantime,,, Energy Giant Equinor just announced During the increase in oil and gas production, we have been reducing investment in renewable energy for the next two years, and another BP Similarly.

Global clean energy investment has been over 2TN for the first time, but its growth has slowed in recent years.

‘American energy around the world’

Trump just said, “We will export US energy to the world,” as well as “drill, baby, training.”

Potential foreign buyers are already in line.

India and the United States We agreed to increase significantly Supply of US oil and gas to the Indian market.

After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited February 14, the two countries Co -statement In the US, “reconfirection” will be “a major supplier of crude oil and petroleum products and a supplier of natural gas in India.”

A few days after Trump’s inauguration, Korea, the world’s third largest amount of natural gas importer, implied the intention of purchasing more US oil and gas to reduce trade surpluses with the United States and improve energy security. . International media I reported in Seoul.

JERA, the largest generator in Japan, said Reuters They also want to increase the purchase of liquefied natural gas in the United States because they are currently importing half from the Asia -Pacific region.

“There is a threat that the US flood market with cheap fossil fuels or a bully country can buy more fossil fuels or slow world energy.” Oil Change International, a study and advocate for clean energy conversion.

Scientists said that if the world restricts warming to 1.5C compared to the previous period of industrialization, there may be no new fossil fuel extraction.

Scientists said that new fossil fuel extraction cannot be extracted, and if the world limits warming to 1.5, compared to the previous period of industrialization, carbon emissions (about 45%from 2019 to 2030) should be reduced. .

“Energy Supply is a major driving force for bulletproofing.

“The foundation for resources of US energy supports the role of natural gas and liquid production. In contrast, imported -dependent economies such as China, India and Southeast Asia have a dramatic economic incentive for the sources of bullet assistance energy.”

Global energy conversion investment surpassed 2TN for the first time last year research Also showed that Growth of clean energy conversion In recent years, it has been remarkably slowed down, and many major banks Continue the fossil fuel.
