Energy Geography

Energy Geography examines how the distribution and accessibility of energy resources—such as oil, gas, coal, solar, and wind—shape global patterns of economic development, geopolitics, and environmental impact. It considers the location of resource-rich areas, transportation routes, and infrastructure, influencing energy security and dependence among nations. Understanding energy geography helps explain why some countries are energy-intensive, how energy flows across borders, and the strategic importance of certain regions. Ultimately, it reveals how the physical placement of energy sources impacts societal progress, international relations, and efforts to transition to sustainable energy systems.
