Moreover, BloombergNEF is forecasting that sales of EVs may skyrocket to 40 per cent of all purchases in 2030 from today’s 10 per cent. To meet that audacious number will require tens of millions of batteries that will in turn require enormous quantities of critical minerals. However, a recent essay in Foreign Affairs identifies potentially troubling realities about the world’s rush towards a green energy future. One of the key realities involves the general absence of sufficient supply chains for critical minerals, particularly as they relate to the production of EVs. Consequently, it is imperative that policymakers begin to deal with this in a serious and considered manner now, since technologies involving clean energy may drive mineral demand for critical minerals up by 400 per cent by 2040. Two key critical minerals illustrate the challenge that lies ahead. In 2040, the demand for lithium, a key mineral for batteries, may be 13 times greater than in 2020. Similarly, Standard & Poor’s, a global market research firm, has predicted that between 2022 and 2035 the demand for copper will double. All EV types use ‘considerably more copper than traditional vehicles with internal combustion engines’. Not surprisingly, these minerals are rarely found exactly where they are needed for product production. Thus, the matter of energy security – often thought about in the context of oil and gas – arises again, but in a different scenario. Historically, energy security ‘has been defined as the availability of sufficient supplies at affordable prices. But that simple definition no longer captures reality;","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"12 1","pages":"233 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78508167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This editorial and the special issue that follows focus on Energy Law for the Next Generation, Towards 2030 to 2050. Legal scholarship to date has not evolved sufficiently to play its role in the energy transition and in ensuring the effects of climate change are mitigated. There remain too many gaps in the law, in particular around decommissioning of fossil fuel energy infrastructure and management of waste from fossil fuel activities, ie carbon taxes. The overall key challenges for energy law are to address climate change, environmental impacts and economic governance. New visions of what energy law must be reformed or newly formulated are needed. Currently, in education, in practice and in research, the status quo remains. The research perspectives in the articles for this special issue will hopefully inspire the next generation of energy law scholars to provide solutions. It is, after all, a key ‘justice’ issue to ensure that as an energy law community, we leave a foundation in place that can lead to a just transition to a low-carbon and sustainable world for future generations within the science-based critical deadlines such as 2030 and 2050.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"37 1","pages":"131 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79037524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have investigated how energy justice principles can be incorporated into new energy business models and emphasised the need to implement them into policy decision-making processes. However, there has been no comprehensive study from a justice viewpoint on the mobilisation of capital, including state, commercial or public financing. Islamic finance is emerging as an alternative means of financing that could significantly advance sustainable growth in the international financial markets, including the energy industry. However, there are challenges to incorporating Islamic finance into the energy industry, and further empirical and theoretical analyses are necessary to determine its sustainability. This research aims to theoretically explore how Islamic financial instruments could play a role in the energy transition and unlock the challenges of Islamic finance in the energy industry from an energy justice perspective. It also offers valuable insights into the legal framework for a fair and eco-friendly energy transition, conceptualising the nexus between the principles of energy justice and the applications of Islamic finance structures in different stages of the energy system.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"36 1","pages":"195 - 209"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86901602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corporate voluntary incentives to guide, support and pressure companies to disclose their climate-related risks are becoming commonplace internationally. Yet, formal legal frameworks to engage energy companies in reaching net zero emissions have largely been confined to financial risk disclosure and voluntary regulation. In this context, the article offers a normative solution that enables the effective implementation of obligations imposed on energy companies related to the 2050 energy transformation, addressing the concept of ‘energy-just companies’. It also proposes the management of this process by illustrating a different, proactive approach to the role of effective obligations in the transformation process based on a novel understanding of energy law principles. These legal solutions consist of ‘corporate energy transformation plans’ based on energy justice applied by energy companies.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"74 1","pages":"157 - 174"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73235445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the response of energy sector stakeholders with the power to make the necessary changes in society remains slow. Too much investment continues in the old traditional energy sources. This research accepts these positions and that therefore the relationship between the stakeholders of the energy sector is imbalanced. In order to change this relationship so that it is fair, equitable and inclusive it is necessary to place (energy) justice at the core of a new social contract between the stakeholders of the energy sector (which includes policymakers, private and public energy companies, and citizens). This research advances 10 key pathways for scholarship on energy justice and the social contract. These topics need to be addressed from local to national and international levels. In resolving these research problems society can address the fundamental imbalances that exist between energy stakeholders and ensure a just and brave new world established through this new energy-just social contract.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"95 1","pages":"211 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73336780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are multiple problems such as climate change, environmental impacts, economic and governance issues. With these problems continuing to exist, the energy sector has lacked any fully successful solutions. This conceptual paper calls for implementing the key theoretical perspective of energy justice as a solution. If energy justice is implemented through a new social contract with society, then transformative change could happen. This new societal social contract is a vital development needed throughout the world where there is already a climate emergency, as declared by the United Nations. A social contract between different stakeholders in society has always been an issue in society. It was a brought to the fore in France through the work of philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the 18th century. One of Rousseau’s major theories was that a civil society should ensure its citizens’ rights and well-being. The energy sector is the key reason that this is not happening today. Therefore, such a new social contract could implement energy justice and achieve transformative societal change, protecting rights and ensuring well-being for all, and hence delivering a just transition to a low-carbon economy.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"11 1","pages":"141 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85488155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Degrowth represents a much safer way, relying on a steep reduction in energy and materials consumption, starting with developed countries. Consequently, the concept of degrowth should be implemented within European Union (EU) energy law to reach its net zero target by 2050. This academic article is the first to use the theoretical framework of degrowth to analyse EU energy law. To do so, it focuses on various core energy laws: the 2019 Electricity Market Directive, the 2018 Renewable Energy Sources Directive and the 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive (slightly amended in 2018) as well as the recast proposals for the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency directives tabled in the 2021 Fit for 55 package and 2022 REPowerEU plan. This research shows that various degrowth-compatible provisions already exist in EU energy law and can be harnessed in the short term, without waiting for a legal overhaul. This article also formulates recommendations, such as interpreting in a degrowth-favourable way the aforementioned provisions and challenging the current as well as forthcoming framework, for instance by amending the proposed ‘energy efficiency first’ principle to include energy sufficiency. Finally, opportunities for future research are outlined.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"1 1","pages":"175 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72665770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the wake of the attacks, Western journalists have lauded the determination and grit of the Ukranian people. For example, The Economist reported ‘When there is no tap water at home, they melt snow. When there is no electricity, they find heat and light in cafes with diesel generators, or sleep in the offices where they work... . The horrors Mr Putin keeps inflicting on them do not seem to have dented their morale’. However, despite the determination of the Ukranian people, the devastation has been very real. In a 2022 end-of-year report on the war, The New York Times described the situation as ‘Moscow’s debilitating attacks on [Ukranian] energy infrastructure that have caused widespread power outages as the country faces freezing winter temperatures’. In mid-2022, I wrote an editorial titled ‘Playing with fire: military attacks against a civilian nuclear power station’ and assumed at that time that perhaps the war would be over not later than the end of 2022. Not only was I wrong about the end of the war, I harboured no clue in mid-2022 that the Russian onslaught would involve wholesale efforts to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure to terrorise the local population. But that is exactly what has happened. Without identifying infrastructure attacks in particular, the Associated Press reported at the end of 2022 that ‘Ten months into Russia’s latest invasion of Ukraine, overwhelming evidence shows the Kremlin’s troops have waged total war, with disregard for international laws governing treatment of civilians and conduct on the battlefield’.","PeriodicalId":51867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91184222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
