    The 3 Forces That Rewrote The Rules of Global Energy in 2025

    In this episode of The Energy Executive 360 Podcast, Sarim Sheikh breaks down the three forces that are fundamentally reshaping global energy markets in 2025: politics, artificial intelligence, and the collapse in battery storage costs. Sarim explains why the political consensus around the “energy transition” has fractured, why oil’s resurgence surprised even seasoned analysts, and why coal — still responsible for the largest share of global emissions — remains the real problem the world must confront first.We explore why energy is a game of cents, not dollars — and how that reality is forcing governments and investors to rethink ideology in favour of economics.From Trump’s executive orders and their global signalling effect, to AI’s unprecedented speed of demand growth, to the grid failures that exposed transmission vulnerabilities — this conversation strips away slogans and looks at how energy systems actually work.But this episode isn’t just about markets.Sarim reflects on leaving Shell at a pivotal moment in his career, becoming one of the youngest country CEOs in the company’s history, and the three principles that have guided him ever since: people, impact, and learning.He shares his advice for young professionals on mastering the “drudgery” phase of growth, why staying close to your 12-year-old self matters, and why the most important leadership trait in crisis is being dispassionate.What you'll learn:⬛ Why 2025 disrupted the global energy narrative⬛ Why coal — not oil — is the biggest emissions challenge⬛ How Trump’s executive orders reshaped energy signalling globally⬛ Why AI demand is forcing unprecedented speed in energy investment⬛ The risk that AI could drive higher consumer energy bills⬛ How falling battery storage prices are changing baseload economics⬛ Why hydrogen and SAF must now prove themselves economically⬛ Why blackouts are transmission problems — not generation failures⬛ Why grid upgrades may become one of the biggest infrastructure opportunities of the decade⬛ The mindset shift required to make major career decisions⬛ Why being “dispassionate” is critical in moments of crisis⬛ Why mastery requires going through the mudFollow Sarim SheikhLinkedIn:   / sarimsheikh   The Energy Report Newsletter:   / theenergy-report-7314011410521358336   The Energy Executive 360 with Emilio FaulmataFollow Emilio on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/EmilioFaulmataTEE360 Studio: https://www.emiliofaulmata.com► Conversations with the leaders shaping the real future of energy — beyond headlines, politics, and PR.#energymarkets #ai #energytransition #energysecurity #grid #batteries #coal #oilandgas #energyleadership #energypolicy #infrastructure #globalsouth

    Why the UK Government Has Got It Wrong on North Sea Oil & Gas

    In this episode of The Energy Executive 360 Podcast, Amy Miller (co-founder and CEO of PRAGMA) explains what the UK is getting wrong about energy policy, why the term “energy transition” is misleading, how the UK was hours away from a blackout in January 2025, and why oil and gas faces a growing talent and purpose crisis. Amy’s path to founding PRAGMA didn’t start in boardrooms or strategy meetings. It started in places most people would never choose to work — including a high-security prison, where she learned more about people, leadership, and human behaviour than any corporate job could ever teach.Those lessons later became the foundation for how she approaches energy, policy, communication, and leadership today. We explore the meeting that changed everything and led to the birth of PRAGMA, Amy’s reflections on entering rooms she didn’t feel she belonged in, and the source of the ambition that pushed her to build something of her own.This is a conversation about confidence, chaos, leadership, policy, people, and the uncomfortable truths the energy industry needs to confront if it wants to reconnect with the next generation. Amy also shares how PRAGMA is going global and her advice for staying calm and effective when everything around you feels uncertain. What you’ll learn in this episode: ⬛ Why the phrase “energy transition” may be misleading and what we should be saying instead ⬛ What is happening in the UK today that makes little long-term sense for energy security ⬛ Why the UK was hours away from a blackout in January 2025 — and why blackouts might be the wake-up call society needs ⬛ Why moving away from domestic gas production is ideologically inconsistent ⬛ Why activists were necessary for the industry to start thinking differently ⬛ Why “net zero” can be a privileged concept disconnected from reality ⬛ Why industry leaders often agree — until politics enters the room and distorts long-term thinking ⬛ The real and growing talent crisis in oil and gas, and why young professionals are searching for purpose ⬛ How unlikely experiences shape leadership and confidence ⬛ How to walk into rooms you feel you don’t belong in ⬛ How to stay calm, effective, and clear-headed in chaos and crisis Follow Amy Miller & PRAGMA Amy Miller LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-miller-09860014/ PRAGMA Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pragma-energy/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Pragmaenergy Website: https://www.pragma-energy.com/ The Energy Executive 360 with Emilio Faulmata Follow Emilio on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/EmilioFaulmata TEE360 Studio: https://www.emiliofaulmata.com ► Conversations with the leaders shaping the real future of energy — beyond headlines, politics, and PR.#energyleadership #oilandgas #energypolicy #energytransition #uk #energysecurity #netzero #OilAndGasCareers #energydebate #TalentCrisis #PRAGMA #AmyMiller

    The Truth About Energy, Oil & Gas The West REFUSES To Accept with NJ Ayuk JD

    In this episode of The Energy Executive 360 Podast, we dive deep into the unfiltered truth about Africa’s energy future with NJ Ayuk JD — one of the continent’s most influential energy voices, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, and best-selling author of Billions at Play and A Just Transition. This conversation cuts through the noise and exposes the realities that global narratives ignore: - 600 million Africans still live without electricity. - 1 billion people cook with unsafe, polluting fuels. - 2 million people die, due to lack of access to clean cooking technologies. While the West pushes a one-size-fits-all transition, NJ argues that Africa needs energy justice — not energy ideology. Oil, gas, and renewables all matter, but Africa cannot industrialise without affordable, reliable baseload energy. This episode blends energy policy, leadership, geopolitics, and economics to paint a clear picture of what Africa must do to unlock growth, attract capital, and build opportunity for the next generation. We explore why capital avoids African projects, why the continent’s mega-projects matter more than ever in 2025, and how rushed transition policies threaten to derail Africa’s progress. NJ also unpacks the leaders reshaping the sector — from ENI’s Claudio Descalzi to emerging African CEOs driving bold reforms — and why resource nationalism often destroys the very opportunities countries are trying to create.This is a conversation about energy, sovereignty, development, and the mindset Africa needs to scale real prosperity. What You’ll Learn: ⬛ Why defending oil & gas still matters for Africa’s development ⬛ The truth about Western hypocrisy in the global energy transition ⬛ Africa’s biggest energy bottlenecks — and how to unlock investment ⬛ Why energy poverty remains Africa’s No.1 development challenge ⬛ The mega-projects that could transform the continent in 2025 and beyond ⬛ NJ Ayuk’s insights from writing three globally recognised energy books ⬛ What a truly African “just transition” looks like ⬛ How to make energy exciting for the next generation of African talent ⬛ Why a rushed transition could devastate African economies ⬛ The African & global CEOs redefining what energy leadership looks like ⬛ The dangers of resource nationalism — and why contract stability is critical ⬛ How Africa can use its natural resources to build long-term prosperity Follow NJ Ayuk JD, the African Energy Chamber & African Energy Week below: NJ Ayuk JD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nj-ayuk-jd-mba-6658662/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njayuk/ African Energy Chamber LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/african-energy-chamber/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/africanenergychamber/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPCEPmBHjhwMw3dQn4y1C7Q Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/africanenergychamber#X/ Twitter: https://x.com/energy_african?s=20 African Energy Week LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/aec-african-energy-week/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/africanenergyweek/ The Energy Executive 360 with Emilio Faulmata Follow Emilio on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/EmilioFaulmata Visit TEE360 Studio: https://www.emiliofaulmata.com ► Stay tuned for future episodes exploring leadership, African energy, geopolitics, entrepreneurship, and the future of global energy. #AfricaEnergy #EnergyPoverty #JustTransition #OilAndGasAfrica #EnergyLeadership #FutureOfEnergy #AfricanDevelopment #EnergyTransitionAfrica #AEC #NJAyuk #600Million
