Building resilience: why energy infrastructure is the new industrial imperative

In this interview, H.E. Tarek El-Molla, former Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Egypt, provides a pragmatic framework for this transformation. H.E. El-Molla advocates for a “realism-first” approach for the industry, emphasising that while the expansion of renewables and storage technology is important, the reliability of baseload hydrocarbons remains the bedrock of industrial stability. From the strategic role of LNG infrastructure to the collaborative efforts of the industry, he outlines a roadmap for fortifying infrastructure and supply chains against future shocks.
