Trump said that oil and gas will be sold in the United States all over the world

The United Nations Climate Summit in the United Arab Emirates ended in 2023 with a call for “moving away from fossil fuels.” It was praised as a historical milestone in global climate work.

However, after a year has passed, there are fears that global commitment may lose momentum, such as the growth of clean energy transmission Slow The bottom while burning fossil fuel continues to rise.

And now there is an American president Donald Trump “National Energy Emergency”Embracing fossil fuels and clean energy policies – which have already started influencing some countries and energy companies.

In response to the Trump slogan “Drilling, Child, Drilling” It aims to intensify the extraction of fossil fuels, And the United States to inform the United Nations by withdrawing it from the Paris Climate Agreement, for example, Indonesia hinted that it may follow its example.

The United States is already the largest oil and gas producer in the world

“If we do not do that, why should we?”

“If the United States does not want to comply with the international agreement, then why should a country like Indonesia comply with it?” Hashim Djojohadikusumo asked, a special climate change envoy and Indonesia’s energy, The government -run news agency in the country also reported.

Indonesia has remained in the list of the 10 best carbon countries for years.

“Indonesia produces three tons of carbon [per person a year] While the United States produces 13 tons, “he asked at the ESG 2025 forum in Jakarta on January 31.

“However, we are the ones who are asked to close our power stations … So, where is the feeling of justice here?”

Niti Nisadorai, director of the climate network in Southeast Asia, said that her region’s signs were worrying.

She said that “the richest country and the largest oil producer in the world” increases its production that gives other countries “an easy excuse to increase their own – which they are doing already.”

In South Africa, it was the largest economy in Africa and the major carbon excitement, and a 8.5 billion dollar transition project from the coal sector is already moving at the pace of the snail, and now there are fears that it will go out of its path more.

“There is a possibility” that stopping the old coal power stations will be “delayed”.

However, he said that although there are some “walking” from moving to renewable energy sources, there is still growth in the clean energy sector that was expected to continue.

The main developing countries from which carbon emanates, such as Indonesia, says that emissions should not be expected while the best gates like us continue to produce and burn more fossil fuels

Argentina withdrew its negotiators from the COP29 climate meeting in Baku last November, days after Trump won the US presidency. She has since followed Trump’s progress indicating that she will withdraw from the 2015 Paris Agreement – which supports global efforts to combat climate change.

“We are now expecting our oil and gas production to rise,” Enrique Phil, head of the Argentine Association for Environmental Lawyers.

“President Millie hinted that he intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and said that the environment is part of the awakening agenda.”

Whileand The giant time of energy has just announced It invests half in renewable energy over the next two years with an increase in oil and gas production, and the other oil specialization is expected to be made, BP, A similar announcement soon.

Although the global clean energy investment has exceeded one billion dollars for the first time, its growth has slowed in recent years

“American energy around the world”

Trump did not say “drilling, child, drilling”, but also: “We will export US energy all over the world.”

Potential foreign buyers are already lining up.

India and the United States I agreed to a significant increase American oil and gas supplies to the Indian market.

At the end of the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 14, the two countries issued Joint The “reaffirmation” of the United States will be “a pioneering resource for oil and oil products and natural gas to India.”

A few days after Trump’s inauguration, South Korea, the world’s third largest importer of natural gas, hinted at its intention to buy more American oil and gas aimed at reducing trade surplus with the United States and improving energy security, International media I mentioned from Seoul.

Jira, officials who have the largest energy generator in Japan said Reuters They also want to increase the purchases of natural gas from the United States to diversify the supply, as it currently imports half of it from the Asia and Pacific region.

Scientists said that there can be no new fossil fuel extract if the world limits warming to 1.5 ° C compared to the pre -industry period

Scientists said that there can be no new fossil fuel extraction and there should be a rapid decrease in carbon emissions (about 45 % by 2030 from the level of 2019) if the world limits warming to 1.5 ° C compared to the pre -industry period.

“The economies of energy supplies are a major carbon removal engine,” said David Brown, director of energy transmission in Wood McKenzi, a global intellectual center for energy.

“The American Energy Resources base supports the role of natural gas and fluid production. In contrast, the import -based economies such as China and India and those in Southeast Asia have a dramatic economic incentive for energy sources.”

Global Energy Transmission Investment exceeded $ 2 dollars for the first time in the past year, however studies It also showed that Clean energy transmission growth It has slowed significantly in recent years, while many major banks Continue financing fossil fuel.
