Changes in the global energy market: Korea withdraws from nuclear, China cuts itself off from Russian oil, and Trump promotes coal.

21 March 2025

South Korea’s KHNP is pulling out of European nuclear projects, China is cutting back on Russian oil imports, and the United States, under Donald Trump, is once again promoting coal as a key energy source. Meanwhile, Brussels has unexpectedly lifted sanctions against a Russian oligarch with links to Polish business. Will these decisions influence the direction of the global energy transition?
