McKinsey Report: Energy Security Measures Could Offset Up to 70% of Hormuz Oil Flows by 2030
A McKinsey Global Institute report states that energy security measures underway or planned could offset 35 to 70 percent of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz by 2030 if another major disruption occurs. These measures include electrification, alternative supplies, bypass pipelines, trade flow adjustments, inventory increases, demand management, and clean energy expansion. While the energy system has absorbed recent disruptions through buffers and alternative routes, McKinsey warns that these buffers are increasingly strained and implementation of measures is uncertain.
