Global Legal Insights - Energy 2022: 10

We are pleased to present the 10th edition of Global Legal Insights - Energy.
The book contains 15 country chapters, providing a truly international and farreaching
snapshot of energy policy, industry and regulation across the globe.
The book is designed to provide general counsel, financial institutions, government agencies
and private practice lawyers with a comprehensive insight into the most important trends and
developments in the energy market across a range of key jurisdictions. The energy industry
is never static, with both the industry and policy and law-makers constantly responding to
new challenges and opportunities.
At the time last year's edition of this publication was going to print, governments across the
globe were still battling the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, while at the same time
planning for economic recovery, with investment in energy infrastructure - and in particular
decarbonisation technologies - high on the agenda in many countries across the world. The
last 12 months have seen an even greater commitment to the energy transition, and concrete
plans and strategies are being developed and implemented for the development of nascent
technologies such as clean hydrogen and carbon capture and storage. It is clear that we are
now not on the cusp of an energy revolution, but in the midst of it.
In producing Global Legal Insights - Energy, we have gathered together the views and
opinions of a group of leading energy practitioners from around the world in a unique
volume. The authors were asked to provide personal views on practical issues, policy issues,
strategic issues, and legal and regulatory issues in their own jurisdiction, with a free rein to
decide the focus of their own chapter.
One of the attractions of comparative analysis is that developments in one jurisdiction can
inform understanding and practice in another.
Our thanks to all the authors for their contributions, and particular thanks to our colleague
Justyna Bremen for her invaluable help. We hope that this book will prove interesting and
stimulating reading for you.
