Energy Studies Institute
Self-Description September 2008
THE GLOBAL energy landscape is one that is changing rapidly. The threat of a worldwide depletion of fossil fuels, the impact of climate change, and the growing importance of geopolitics on energy supplies have led to an urgent call for new energy policies and interventions.
Against this backdrop, the Energy Studies Institute (ESI) seeks to advance the understanding of local, regional and global energy issues through independent research and analyses aimed at addressing, informing and influencing public opinion and policies.
Key Areas
ESI is a multi-disciplinary, autonomous research institute established within the National University of Singapore.
Our research and analyses are focused on three key areas: Energy Economics, Energy Security, and Energy and the Environment.
