Energy Security In Algeria: Between Dependence On Hydrocarbons And Energy Transition

Authors : Mousli Abdenadir . Redouane Abdellah .

Abstract

This article analyzes energy security in Algeria, which faces dependence on hydrocarbons and the challenges of the energy transition. Using an analytical approach combining a literature review and statistical data, it examines trends in energy consumption and production, the role of natural gas, and the prospects for renewable energy. The findings indicate that rising domestic demand and stagnant exports weaken energy security. The study highlights the need for infrastructure investments and an integrated energy policy to ensure a controlled transition.
