Energy Security Strategies Amidst Global Supply Chain Disruptions: The Case of Algerian Natural Gas

Abstract

This study examines the strategic role of the Algerian supplier in ensuring global energy security (2024–2026) amidst geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruptions. The research aims to highlight the competitive advantage of Algeria’s infrastructure as a secure and reliable alternative to risk-prone maritime shipping, utilizing descriptive-analytical and prospective methodologies. Furthermore, the findings confirmed that the Algerian pipeline network represents the most secure and stable alternative for bypassing maritime chokepoint risks, effectively contributing to the reduction of "Risk Premiums" and global insurance costs. The results also indicated that Algeria's historical commitment to long-term contracts has reinforced its position as a reliable strategic partner amidst sharp spot market volatility, while highlighting the national infrastructure's geospatial and technical flexibility to be repurposed for future green hydrogen exports.
