The Arctic Energy Office leads the Alaska Hydrogen Working Group and spearheaded the publication of the Alaska Hydrogen Opportunities Report in 2024. The Office is working to further understand and demonstrate energy generation and storage technologies in Alaska.
Advancing Arctic energy, science and security is the goal of the U.S. Department of Energy's Arctic Strategy. The Strategy outlines DOE’s coordination with Arctic stakeholders from Indigenous Peoples to international partners to grasp Arctic challenges, ensure energy equity, and work together to apply solutions.
The energy resources of the Arctic have been the subject of exploitation by international players since the nineteenth century. Long before there was any drilling for shale oil, a small army of British, American, Norwegian, and Dutch whalers were active in the polar regions to obtain whale blubber, which was used for lighting in Europe and America.
Below is an overview of major energy projects in the Arctic by country. Norway managed its offshore oil and gas development by gradually opening new parts of its shelf for exploration and production. The Norwegian state oil company Statoil (predecessor of today’s Equinor) had the right to participate in every development.
At the same time, it is certainly the case that the Arctic is still strategically important for military planners. It may become an important transportation corridor, and energy trade and development traffic would be useful to create a presence and baseload to alleviate and spread the costs.
The development of the Arctic’s resources is shaped by a number of closely intertwined political, economic, technological, and climate trends. Energy is just one area in which great powers such as the United States, Russia, and China are now competing across the economic, military, and legal domains.
