“The problem is that energy companies are getting conflicting messages from all sides. Demand for fossil fuels isn’t falling and politicians in countries including the U.S. are pressuring them to drill more. At the same time, windfall taxes are discouraging spending on new projects in parts of Europe: TotalEnergies will cut its investments in British North Sea oil and gas projects this year because of new U.K. levies, for example. The long-term demand outlook is also murky as countries pledge to cut their carbon emissions.”

“CATL also faces mounting competition from local rivals such as BYD as demands for greener transport grow, just as the US and EU try to promote their domestic battery industries.

“We ask: What geopolitical considerations does deployment give rise to? What particular military applications exist? What risks do these options entail in terms of weaponization, misuse, and miscalculation? We examine such existing and prospective security risks across a novel conceptual framework envisioning their use as (i) diplomatic or military negotiating tools, (ii) objectives for building capacity, control, or deterrence, (iii) targets in ongoing conflicts, and (iv) causes of new conflicts. This enables us to capture a far broader spectrum of security concerns than those which exist in the extant literature and to go well beyond insights derived from climate modelling or game theory by drawing on a novel, rich, and original dataset of expert perceptions.”
