Last year, the forum was all ears as the new Trump administration laid out its plans for \u201cenergy dominance.\u201d This year, the forum was all about the dominant energy crisis unleashed by the Iran war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0b84758651ae472429920921598711d0\" id=\"h-1-watch-for-the-aftershocks\">1. Watch for the aftershocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The prevailing view was the conflict \u2014 and dangers in the Persian Gulf \u2014 will continue for some time, and energy markets will struggle to find a new normal. Former Defence Secretary James Mattis, who has fought three wars in and around the Gulf, said the U.S. cannot declare unilateral victory. Even though Iran\u2019s navy is destroyed, it can deploy anti-ship cruise missiles from its 1,000-kilometre coastline. That means a longer conflict than was first anticipated, and more economic reverberations as supply chains stay gummed up. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is down 70%, with 850+ tankers stuck in the crosshairs. It will take weeks just to move that traffic \u2014 one reason the IEA called this the &#8220;greatest global energy and food security challenge in history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e11b2775c7d1b74de010a3598c5376a5\" id=\"h-2-oil-gets-the-attention-gas-causes-the-pain\">2. Oil gets the attention; gas causes the pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The LNG market disruption is not a temporary shock. QatarEnergy&#8217;s CEO confirmed that about 17% of Qatar&#8217;s LNG export capacity will be offline for years, with billions of dollars in repairs required. LNG margins are already 200% higher on average for 2026 through 2028. New supply from Australia, Canada, and the U.S. will now just replace the losses, rather than add to supply growth. That means a return to pre-war LNG supply levels is unlikely before late 2027 at the earliest. Analysts at S&amp;P Global Energy expect losses of up to 35 million tonnes of LNG in 2026 \u2014 enough to cover half of Japan&#8217;s annual imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7c379d4175564155d4177d9538ed8d5c\" id=\"h-3-next-food\">3. Next, food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Food Programme warned as many as 45 million more people could fall into acute food insecurity if the conflict doesn&#8217;t end soon \u2014 a crisis that rivals Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine. One big reason: 30% of global urea trade comes out of Iran and Hormuz-constrained countries, and fertilizer exports from the Persian Gulf have dropped precipitously, driving up prices globally and threatening spring planting seasons. Bunker and cargo costs are up 4x in Europe, adding to the transport nightmare. Agriculture input prices have nearly doubled in Egypt.&nbsp;Fertilizer plants in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan have had to stop production entirely as natural gas and oil prices spiked \u2014 and unlike in 2022, there are few alternatives.&nbsp;India cut output from three of its urea plants. Bangladesh shut four out of its five fertilizer factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-891b55336fbc4c084260dab5029ff532\" id=\"h-4-nbsp-alarms-across-asia\">4.&nbsp; Alarms across Asia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Strait is the only sea route for 93% of Japan&#8217;s oil imports, prompting Tokyo to begin releasing 80 million barrels of oil from its strategic reserves. Japan&#8217;s LNG buffer is considerably thinner \u2014 Japanese companies hold only about three weeks of LNG inventory, equivalent to the total volume of their Hormuz-dependent LNG imports. Taiwan and South Korea are as severely threatened. In South Asia, fuel rationing is well underway.&nbsp;Pakistan and Bangladesh rely on Qatar for roughly half of their LNG imports.&nbsp;Asian LNG spot prices have surged 143% since February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1841b9886bbee4e51bf0d862db7b355b\" id=\"h-5-emerging-market-risks\">5. Emerging market risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising debt costs and higher import prices have always been a curse for developing countries, especially those that leveraged foreign credit and energy to stimulate growth. In several African economies, energy and transport account for 15-25% of inflation. The Asian Development Bank has identified the Philippines, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka as the most vulnerable in that region. Ripples will be felt in low-cost manufacturing belts, too, as input costs \u2014 petroleum-based plastics, for instance \u2014 rise. All that will put pressure on indebted countries to borrow more to subsidize consumers and industry, just as interest costs are rising again. In Uzbekistan, Egypt and Mongolia, fuel subsidies account for 28.3%, 28.0% and 11.9% of government spending, respectively. Those dependent on tourism, such as Kenya and Sri Lanka, may be further challenged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-975a71794ec963278975749f17ea995b\" id=\"h-6-a-new-moment-for-data-centres\">6. A new moment for data centres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s widely viewed that power demand from AI-driven data centres will continue to surge, and there won\u2019t be enough gas to run them. Big Tech companies like Google and Microsoft are developing plans to use nuclear, even reviving mothballed plants in the U.S. But that will take years. Data centres now account for 4% of U.S. electricity, and projections are it\u2019s heading to 12%. It\u2019s not just a U.S. and Chinese phenomenon. Asian countries like the Philippines have ambitious data centre strategies, predicated on more imported gas to run them, but will now need that gas \u2014 at a much higher cost \u2014 to keep factories and the AC running. The supply-demand imbalance doesn\u2019t compute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8bab4c36274c233d489f4c54165494ca\" id=\"h-7-a-new-moment-for-evs\">7. A new moment for #EVs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The energy shock has put a new light on China\u2019s ambitions to sell EVs to the world, especially the developing world \u2014 if those energy-dependent countries can find new ways to electrify their fleets. Currently about 60% of the world\u2019s pure EVs are sold in China. Will the energy shock shift growth? That will take time, especially for countries facing a host of other challenges to build out electric infrastructure. Expect most countries to have both gas- and electric-powered cars for a long time \u2014 even the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/fordmotor-co\/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_pulse_read%3BUvR5JYxoRrWGIl6Ln7l%2FqA%3D%3D\" data-dig-id=\"LP-26033-a6ef5808\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Fordmotor Co\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Fordmotor Co<\/a> used the Houston forum to promote its strategy for a new electric pick-up truck, being developed at a skunk works plant in California. The truck\u2019s appeal is its simplicity more than its energy needs. The new vehicles use a fraction of the components (it\u2019s all battery) and a fraction of the internal wiring, making it far easier and cheaper to make. U.S. automakers are also learning from China on how to build vehicles as tech platforms. The biggest question in Ford CEO Jim Farley\u2019s mind: How will Americans react? As Ford knows, cars are culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-361ae3f7c47b1ab0ade9f75f2535ca8b\" id=\"h-8-new-frontiers-for-drilling\">8. New frontiers for drilling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s early days \u2014 and lots of contingencies are emerging \u2014 but as much as&nbsp;10 million barrels a day of production may be lost this year due to the conflict. That\u2019s roughly 10% of global needs. There are plenty of oil fields that can replace that \u2014 just not quickly or efficiently.&nbsp; Take Venezuela. Its recent increase of&nbsp;250,000 barrels per day over 2026 represents less than 0.3% of global consumption. Neighbouring Guyana offers more hope, as does Brazil, Nigeria and even Libya. But all those together don\u2019t get anywhere near the missing barrels. There was chatter&nbsp; at CERAWeek about a return to Alaska drilling, North Sea exploration and even Norway\u2019s Far North. Canadian production is expected to increase, too, including offshore opportunities in Newfoundland and Labrador. But most eyes are on Russia. It may have 80 million barrels of oil currently on the open seas, and a multiple of that ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c6a7e2ba59deaed8740e72dd6e4a1abd\" id=\"h-9-canada-s-pitch\">9. Canada&#8217;s pitch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember900\">Energy Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/timothy-hodgson-a727a4b\/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_pulse_read%3BUvR5JYxoRrWGIl6Ln7l%2FqA%3D%3D\" data-dig-id=\"LP-26033-a1b0d48e\" data-dig-label=\"Timothy Hodgson\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Timothy Hodgson<\/a> didn\u2019t mince words. Canada will produce and export a <em>lot <\/em>more oil and gas, He even put numbers on it: 2.5 million more barrels a day of oil (a 50% increase) and 100 billion cubic feet of gas (double projections) by 2035. He told various audiences that Indigenous support has rarely been stronger for resource development, in part because most big resource projects now have indigenous ownership. Premier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/abdaniellesmith\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-26033-22d4c7fc\" data-dig-label=\"Danielle Smith\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Danielle Smith<\/a> told one audience an agreement between Ottawa and Alberta on carbon pricing is coming and will be critical to long-term contracts. It can also underpin plans for a massive investment in carbon capture and storage, something the Carney government remains insistent on. Behind closed doors, sovereign wealth funds, multinationals and state corporations lined up to advance negotiations for long-term contracts and equity stakes. A universal question among them: Can #Canada execute this time at speed and scale?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-block  pos-rel mar-t mob-mar-t mar-b
