Abstract

Markets, technologies, and policies constantly evolve at different levels in various countries, and this has led us to analyse these aspects as the drivers of energy policies.

It is noteworthy that the causes of the energy transition may either stem from the state or from market forces. Therefore, interaction between the state and the market is a key topic when analysing the hydrocarbon sectors.
