In 2025, global trade entered a turbulent phase as the U.S., under President Donald Trump, introduced aggressive "Liberation Day Tariffs" to address trade imbalances. These tariffs, ranging from 10% to 46%, heavily impacted the energy and power sector, which relies on global supply chains for critical components like rare earth metals, solar panels, wind turbines, and lithium. The U.S.–China trade war escalated, with reciprocal tariffs and China's trade surplus with the U.S. reaching USD 102.6 billion. Retaliatory tariffs from the EU and Canada further disrupted energy supply chains, raising material costs and causing delays in key projects.
The U.S. imposed a 20% tariff on rare earths, impacting EVs and clean tech; 25% on solar panels, increasing installation costs; 15–25% on wind turbine parts, affecting project timelines; and 10–15% on oil and gas equipment, pushing producers to rethink supply networks. Sub-sectors like renewables, EVs, oil & gas, and power generation are all experiencing rising costs, supply bottlenecks, and delayed investments. For instance, solar and wind projects now face 10–30% higher costs, and EV producers are struggling with battery input inflation.
China remains central to the U.S. energy supply chain, with even indirect imports via countries like Vietnam and Malaysia tightly linked to Chinese inputs. As a result, U.S. energy firms are exploring alternative sourcing from Southeast Asia, Latin America, and domestic production to reduce exposure. However, switching suppliers requires significant investment, coordination, and time.
In this volatile environment, market research is critical. It helps energy firms map supplier risks, track price trends, and explore alternative sourcing. It enables supply chain optimization through AI and predictive analytics, while regulatory tracking and scenario planning allow companies to anticipate future disruptions. Energy firms like NextEra and First Solar are responding by diversifying suppliers, investing in local production, and leveraging digital tools to improve procurement and adapt to tariff-driven challenges. Those using data-driven strategies and flexible operations are best positioned to thrive amid rising trade tensions.
In August 2023, the first methanol hybrid fuel cell vessel will be designed by Robert Allan Ltd. Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. The subsequent phase will involve the selection of onboard apparatus, the design of the vessel, and the scope of the vessel's construction.
