The year 2024 saw a remarkable flurry of activity and interest in energy projects in the United States and across the world. We also saw significant rule-making and extensive U.S. Department of Energy funding in the energy sector. The flurry of activity has continued, although with a different focus, under the Trump Administration, as executive orders and expected appointments demonstrate a shift to more of an “all of the above” energy policy. This sustained interest in the energy sector from governments, industry players, and investors is expected to have a significant impact on all aspects of the global economy.
