7 Recession-Proof Energy Trends Set to Reshape Global Markets by 2025
The global energy sector is undergoing its most profound transformation since the rise of centralized power grids in the late 19th century. This shift extends beyond decarbonization, driven now by national security imperatives and geopolitical competition. Clean energy investments—spanning renewables, nuclear, and grid infrastructure—are projected to reach unprecedented levels.
Seven underappreciated technologies are poised to deliver outsized returns, insulated from economic cycles by government mandates rather than consumer demand. Small modular reactors promise decentralized nuclear power, while FLOW batteries address grid stability. The AI boom fuels demand for onsite microgrids, and enhanced geothermal systems unlock lithium reserves. Supply chain security for critical minerals and industrial decarbonization through CCUS round out the transformative trends.
