Introduction

Global energy markets are shifting. Energy price hikes and dives send shock-waves across the industry and affect businesses. The energy resources and their market trends are also highly interrelated. To make good business decisions, we need to first understand the energy markets. Adam Smith once described the market as where “individual ambition serves the common good”.

It highlights the role of energy markets (including oil, natural gas, and electricity) and discusses the insights we gain from these markets to make better business decisions. It also highlights new trends (such as the emission markets). Our focus would be on key insights that support major decisions in energy investment projects.
