Governments will review their energy strategies. There will be a significant boost to renewables and nuclear power and a further shift towards a more electrified future,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this will cut into the main markets for oil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Birol said there was no going back from the crisis: \u201cThe vase is broken, the damage is done \u2013 it will be very difficult to put the pieces back together. This will have permanent consequences for the global energy markets for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">While focused on the global picture of shortages and future demand, the IEA chief also urged caution over the UK\u2019s potential plans. The oil industry and its allies have called for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2026\/apr\/01\/would-more-north-sea-drilling-mean-lower-energy-prices-uk-consumers-explainer\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">increased North Sea drilling<\/a>, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/apr\/04\/new-north-sea-drilling-jackdaw-rosebank-uk-gas-imports\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">giving the go-ahead to the Jackdaw and Rosebank fields<\/a> that have received exploration licences but not production permits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Birol said: \u201cIt is up to the government, but these fields would not change much for the UK\u2019s energy security, nor would they change the price of oil and gas. They would not make any significant difference to this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">He also cautioned against granting exploration licences for further new fields on commercial grounds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"7e62fa02-bdd5-4cbb-abc2-eab37ae0b0a8\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Birol said granting exploration licences for further new fields in the North Sea would not lower bills in the UK.<\/span> Photograph: Jane Barlow\/PA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cThey won\u2019t provide any significant quantities of oil and gas for many years to come,\u201d Birol said. \u201cThey will not lower the bills, the UK will remain a significant importer and price taker on international markets.

As the longtime head of the global energy watchdog, he is one of the most influential voices on governments globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Birol also said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><span data-dcr-style=\"bullet\"\/> Continuing high fossil-fuel prices could tempt developing countries to turn to coal, but solar was competitive with coal on cost and was growing faster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><span data-dcr-style=\"bullet\"\/> Renewables offerred a no-regrets alternative and nuclear power was also likely to be increased. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/apr\/21\/clean-energy-generation-exceeded-rise-global-electricity-demand-2025\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Building renewables<\/a> was an option \u201cI never heard that anybody ever regretted\u201d, he said. \u201cI don\u2019t see any downsides for renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><span data-dcr-style=\"bullet\"\/> Although he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/news\/how-europe-can-cut-natural-gas-imports-from-russia-significantly-within-a-year\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">called for windfall taxes during the Ukraine crisis<\/a> to skim some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/apr\/15\/big-oil-huge-war-windfall-consumers\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">vast unearned profits of energy companies<\/a>, Birol said it was too early in this crisis for new levies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><span data-dcr-style=\"bullet\"\/> Impacts on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2026\/apr\/03\/visual-guide-gulf-fertiliser-blockade\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">fertiliser, food<\/a>, helium, software and other industries would continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2026\/apr\/23\/tehran-tollbooth-what-is-iran-demanding-and-what-would-it-mean-for-oil-prices\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">even if the strait of Hormuz reopened<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><gu-island name=\"EmailSignUpWrapper\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;index&quot;:17,&quot;listId&quot;:4147,&quot;identityName&quot;:&quot;green-light&quot;,&quot;category&quot;:&quot;article-based&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;The planet's most important stories.

Labour came to power pledging a ban on future exploration licences, but left open the question of whether fields already in the licensing pipeline \u2013 including Jackdaw and Rosebank \u2013 should go ahead. Ministers have come under pressure from the oil and gas industry, from opposition parties and sections of the media to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/apr\/08\/uk-new-oil-gas-fields-north-sea-global-climate-goals\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">permit the fields in the planning process<\/a> and to rescind the ban on new exploration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cWe are delighted that the world\u2019s leading energy economist has reiterated his endorsement of a fair and managed transition in the North Sea,\u201d said a Labour source.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Experts and campaigners said the views of the IEA chief should be heeded. Ed Matthew, the UK director of the thinktank E3G, said: \u201cBirol is simply reflecting what every sane, independent energy analyst can see. The UK\u2019s fossil fuel reserves have been depleted by 90% and will do nothing to bring down bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">He added: \u201cThe only effective path to energy and economic security is homegrown clean energy. All political parties should now be uniting around that mission. Their failure to do so tells you a lot about whose interests they truly represent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Tessa Khan, the executive director of the campaigning organisation Uplift, said: \u201cThese facts [that new fields would not lower prices or materially increase energy security] don\u2019t change, they are just being drowned out by the noise from the oil lobby, which has seized on this moment to push for more drilling even as countries rapidly pivot to renewables in response to the conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cCaving into these demands risks tying the UK to a volatile and increasingly outdated fossil fuel system, just as the world moves away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">More than 50 governments, including the UK, the EU, big oil producers and scores of developing countries will meet next week in Colombia for the world\u2019s first ever international conference on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/apr\/17\/colombia-convenes-climate-coalition-of-the-willing-to-break-global-fossil-fuel-deadlock\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">transition away from fossil fuels<\/a>, where the global response to the oil crisis and the push for renewable energy will be discussed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/apr\/24\/global-oil-crisis-changed-fossil-fuel-industry-for-ever-iea-chief-fatih-birol\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The oil crisis triggered by the Iran war has changed the fossil fuel industry for ever, turning countries away from fossil fuels to secure energy supplies, the world\u2019s leading energy economist said.
