• Strait of Hormuz disruption described as largest supply shock in oil and gas markets
• Panel rejects idea that decarbonisation alone removes dependencies; diversification also needed
• Speakers call for accelerated home-grown renewable energy and secure critical mineral supply chains

"On 4 June 2026, experts at the Brussels Economic Security Forum assessed the impact of the Strait of Hormuz disruption on Europe's energy security. The panel concluded that neither decarbonisation nor diversification alone is sufficient; a unified, home-grown energy system with secure supply chains for critical minerals is needed. Speakers included Iryna Skliar, Karen Young, Tinne van der Straeten, Cristina Lobillo, Olav Aamlid Syversen, and Heba Aguib."
