This chapter provides an overview of the energy trilemma, a concept at the heart of both energy policy and energy law. The chapter explains its origins and discusses the three core components of the energy trilemma: energy security; competition in and realising economic development through energy markets; and environmental protection. Each of the three aspects will first be discussed at a conceptual level, before scrutinising the legislation adopted in pursuit of these goals. The chapter illustrates how the three components interact and form a policy trilemma that energy law strives to unwind. As will be seen, the concept of the energy trilemma is fundamental to energy law at international, regional, and national levels. The chapter concludes by querying what may lie ahead for the energy trilemma as a legal concept in an accelerating energy transition.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the international legal regime relating to the decommissioning of offshore oil and gas installations with particular focus on environmental protection. The chapter is divided into four sections. The first section examines the rules governing the removal of abandoned or disused installations. The second section looks at the rules relating to the disposal of offshore installations by dumping. The third section examines the rules relating to the pollution of the marine environment arising from, or in connection with, decommissioned offshore installations. The fourth, and final, section looks at the possibility of leaving abandoned or disused installations on the seabed to be used for other purposes, including use as artificial reefs, to promote and support marine biodiversity and fisheries, thus contributing to healthy marine ecosystems.
