Energy and Defence: Reducing Dependencies and Vulnerabilities - Enhancing Efficiency

Abstract

By being a large consumer of energy, especially fossil fuels, the armed forces of most Allied nations are highly dependent upon imports from countries that are located in unstable regions beyond Allied influence. Developments during the latest decades have put the issue of energy on the NATO security agenda. Within that agenda, NATO's focus is on three major areas: 1) Raising strategic awareness of energy developments with security implications; 2) Contributing to the protection of critical energy infrastructure; and 3) Enhancing energy efficiency in the military.
