Iraq’s Energy Future: Can It Overcome Dependency & Attract Investment?
Dr. Justin Dargin’s latest contribution to New Energy World (UK Energy Institute Magazine) explores Iraq’s struggle to reduce its reliance on Iranian gas and the challenges in attracting foreign investment to its energy sector.
🔹 Key Insights:
✔ Dependence on China & Iran: Despite a 71% oil production increase over two decades, Iraq remains heavily reliant on Chinese firms and Iranian gas imports.
✔ Investment Challenges: Political instability, corruption, and regional conflicts deter U.S. and Western investors.
✔ Decarbonization Goals at Risk: Efforts to cut carbon emissions by 2030 face setbacks due to ongoing gas flaring and weak infrastructure.
✔ Select Global Engagement: Companies like BP, TotalEnergies, and QatarEnergy have joined key projects, but sustained investment remains elusive.
✔ Geopolitical Pressures: U.S.-Iran tensions and conflicts in Syria & Gaza further complicate Iraq’s investment landscape.
💡 The Path Forward? Iraq needs legal reforms, infrastructure upgrades, and political stability to attract long-term investment and transition towards energy security.
The Role of Carbon Markets in Climate Finance: Insights from Dr. Justin Dargin
Tangelic is proud to share a pivotal research paper by our Chairman of the Board, Dr. Justin Dargin, in collaboration with the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy in Dubai. The paper explores the design and impact of the UAE’s emerging carbon market, highlighting its potential to transform climate finance and emissions trading across the Global South.
As nations worldwide push toward net-zero emissions, developing economies continue to face significant barriers to financing their clean energy transitions.
