Energy and Climate Policy

„Leading the way in a changing energy market environment” 

The drastic transformation of the energy market is profoundly reshaping the global economy and consequently existing social and geopolitical situations. Our experts support the effective adaptation of government institutions, regulatory authorities, local governments and companies by exploring the background and expected consequences of the changes.

The Maghreb mission –
The great European energy race

Just as Europe was recovering from the initial shock of the conflict on its eastern borders and trying to come to grips with its fate, another war was knocking at the door of the continent. On 7 October 2023, Hamas gunmen struck Israel with biblical ferocity, setting the already troubled region ablaze. European decision-makers are now increasingly turning their attention southwards to prevent an escalation of the conflict. At the same time, the special focus on the region can be strongly justified not only by the fierce fighting, but also by the security of supply as well as economic and energy market realities. In our previous analysis of the Eastern Mediterranean, we looked in detail at the hydrocarbon wealth of this part of the region and the fierce competition for its extraction. While the information revealed suggests that the eastern Mediterranean could offer unparalleled opportunities for Europe, we should also look to the Maghreb region, a major North African region to the west. Today, this part of the North African region has been in the news mainly because of illegal migration and bloody revolutions, but we should not forget the significant hydrocarbon reserves and demographic reserves there. The right mix of cheap energy and abundant labour, combined with political stability, can rocket the competitiveness of some countries in the region. This could not only offer significant economic opportunities for Europe, but could also alleviate the increasing pressure from illegal migration. But which countries in the region have these huge hydrocarbon reserves and could they be involved in strengthening Europe’s security of supply? Our next analysis of the Maghreb region will seek to answer this question by looking at the hydrocarbon production and energy specificities of the countries that make up the region.

About us

Our experts support successful adaptation by exploring the background and likely consequences of change.

Europe’s energy supply crisis and the Russo-Ukrainian war have brought new challenges to an energy sector that had already been rapidly changing due to decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitisation megatrends. The diversity of drivers and the dynamic changes in the regulatory environment present significant planning challenges for both government and market actors. A cross-disciplinary approach is needed to explore and predict the multidimensional relationships that shape the business environment. The Energy and Climate Policy division’s industry expertise is complemented by Századvég’s macroeconomic, digital and public opinion research capabilities, enabling the division to offer its clients a uniquely complex service package in the consulting market. Thanks to its diverse activities, the Business Unit’s profile increasingly includes research, development, innovation and communication projects, in addition to the policy preparation, regulatory, business consulting and sector analysis that formed a large part of its references in previous years.

He obtained his Master’s and PhD degrees from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, where he is still teaching and researching. He has worked at Századvég for almost ten years: As an intern since 2014, researcher since 2017 and since 2019 he has been supporting the work of the Energy and Climate Policy division as its director. His primary goal in leading the division is to build and nurture a data-driven community of experts who are committed to improving Hungary’s economic and energy performance, in addition to meeting customer needs at a high standard.

Energy and Climate Policy

Focusing on Energy and Climate Policy

Energy and raw material crisis

Our analyses and consulting assists government and market actors in finding appropriate responses to the economic policy developments caused by the energy crisis and current trade conflicts. As the transformation of supply chains extends beyond the energy sector, our Business Unit is paying special attention to European economic developments, in addition to energy carriers. Our research contributes to the mapping of alternative raw materials and supply channels, along with the development of long-term and effective industrial policy decisions.

Climate change and decarbonisation

Our Business Unit supports the achievement of Hungary’s and the European Union’s environmental policy objectives, both at government and private sector levels, through a range of studies and analyses. In addition to the processing of implementable national and international good practices, our work actively focuses on the design and development of innovative and novel quantitative analysis methods to identify intervention target areas and optimal technological and policy measures.

Residential, municipal and business energy use

The past three years have seen highly controversial developments in global energy markets. The increase in gas prices in Europe, together with the increase in carbon dioxide emission allowance prices, has spilled over into EU electricity markets, where, as in the gas market, prices are reaching record highs; however, this significant increase in electricity prices is more a European than a global phenomenon. Our research projects in the past three years have also focused on the challenges of residential, municipal, and commercial energy use, the implementation of energy efficient solutions and the evaluation and monitoring of new national and international framework strategies. In addition to empirical research and consulting, we have presented our latest findings at conferences as well as Hungarian and international webinars.

Technology and innovation

We analyse the possible implementation of new innovative technologies, such as the moral dilemmas involved in developing self-driving cars, the possible socio-economic implications of AI-based decision-making and the use of alternative forms of financing to support effective energy efficiency investments. We are also examining support and infrastructure development opportunities for electric vehicles, reflecting on the challenges of the future.
