Abstract

Energy governance is undergoing a period of uncertainty as a result of climate related challenges and these uncertainties have been profoundly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The stage of uncertainty energy governance is experiencing can be characterised as one of disruption. This study reassesses the condition of energy governance in the context of disruption with particular reference to the role that hydrogen and natural gas might play in going forward. In doing so, it places an emphasis on the protracted impact of disruption occasioned by climate change regulation. Greater understanding of the strengths and weaknesses that stabilising options provide, and of their relationship to the broader complex disruptive forces that they interact with, will assist in better illuminating present and future challenges underlying the governance of energy.
