The study of how to ensure access to reliable and affordable energy sources.

Energy sources: Understanding the different types of energy sources, including renewable and non-renewable sources, as well as their benefits and drawbacks.
Energy demand and supply: Understanding how energy is produced, distributed and consumed, and how it fluctuates in response to global economic and political factors.
Fossil fuel economics: An understanding of the economics of fossil fuels, including production, trading, consumption, environmental and social costs, and the impact of government policies.
Renewable energy economics: An understanding of the economics of renewable energy sources, including production, distribution, consumption, and the impact of government policies.
Energy pricing: Understanding the factors that influence energy prices, including supply and demand, production costs, and government intervention.
Energy policies: An understanding of different energy policies and their impact on energy security, including regulations, subsidies, and tax incentives.
Energy markets: Understanding the energy market and how it functions, including pricing, trading, and investment strategies.
Energy security and geopolitics: Understanding the impact of energy security on global politics and the relationships between countries over the control and ownership of energy resources.
Energy efficiency: Understanding how to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption, including the importance of energy-efficient technologies and practices.
Energy storage: Understanding the role of energy storage in ensuring energy security, including different types of storage technologies, their benefits and drawbacks, and their economic feasibility.
Carbon emissions: Understanding the impact of energy consumption on the environment and measures to reduce carbon emissions, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon capture and storage.
Nuclear energy economics: Understanding the economics of nuclear energy, including production, trading, consumption, and the impact of government policies.
Energy transition and innovation: Understanding energy transition and innovation, including new technologies, emerging energy sources, and the economic feasibility of transitioning away from fossil fuels.
Energy infrastructure: Understanding the importance of energy infrastructure in ensuring energy security, including transportation, storage, and distribution networks.
Energy security and national security: Understanding the relationship between energy security and national security, including energy-related vulnerabilities and risks, and measures to ensure energy security in times of crisis.
Supply security: The assurance of reliable and adequate access to energy supplies.
Price security: The assurance that energy prices remain stable and predictable over time, reducing the risk of unexpected price increases.
Geographic security: The assurance that energy supplies are accessible from a variety of sources, reducing the risks of supply disruptions due to conflicts or other geopolitical tensions.
Diversification security: A strategy to diversify sources of energy to reduce dependence on a single source or supplier, thus increasing the flexibility of the energy system.
Technological security: The assurance that energy technologies and infrastructure are resilient against cyber-attacks or other technological disruptions.
Environmental security: The assurance of environmentally sustainable practices in energy production or consumption, minimizing the impacts of energy-related pollution on health and the environment.
Economic security: The assurance of stable and predictable economic growth and development, promoting long-term energy efficiency, innovation and sustainable economic growth.
Social security: The assurance of fair and equitable access to energy services, reducing energy poverty and ensuring that energy services are available to all without discrimination.
Political security: The assurance that energy issues are addressed through transparent and democratic processes, ensuring the participation and representation of diverse stakeholders in energy policy-making and decision-making processes.
Energy access security: The assurance that everyone has adequate, reliable and affordable access to energy services, promoting social and human development, and reducing energy poverty.
- "Energy security is the association between national security and the availability of natural resources for energy consumption."
- "Access to cheaper energy has become essential to the functioning of modern economies."
- "The uneven distribution of energy supplies among countries has led to significant vulnerabilities."
- "International energy relations have contributed to the globalization of the world leading to energy security and energy vulnerability at the same time."
- "Renewable resources and significant opportunities for energy efficiency and transitions exist over wide geographical areas."
- "Renewable resources and significant opportunities for energy efficiency and transitions exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries."
- "Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency... would result in significant energy security."
- "Energy security is the association between national security and the availability of natural resources for energy consumption (as opposed to household energy insecurity)."
