Trump election win, the impact of the US election on Europe’s energy markets

Green Week - Session 6

With Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Europe faces a new set of challenges and opportunities in the energy sector. Trump’s administration is expected to prioritize fossil fuel development as well as energy and environmental deregulation, likely reversing recent U.S. initiatives on renewable energy and climate action. This shift in U.S. policy could have significant repercussions for Europe’s green transition, energy security, and geopolitical standing, particularly in light of Europe’s ambitious net-zero goals and the rising influence of Chinese clean-tech in global markets.

Join us as we delve into how Trump’s energy policies may reshape transatlantic energy relations and impact Europe’s strategic goals. Our experts will analyze the potential shifts in global energy policies and explore strategies for Europe to secure energy independence in a time of uncertainty.

Key topics:

• U.S. Energy Policy under Trump – Examining likely policy directions, including a return to fossil fuel advocacy and potential impacts on international climate agreements.

• Global Market Effects – Analyzing the ripple effects of U.S. fossil-fuel-focused policy on global energy markets, with a focus on Europe’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). 

• Ensuring Energy Security – Strategies for Europe to maintain resilience in energy supply amid global geopolitical shifts, including growing clean-tech competition from China.
