Greece is emerging as an LNG transit hub, and Turkey is pursuing greater energy autonomy. These developments are reshaping the region’s geopolitical balance. The window for monetizing hydrocarbons is narrowing as the global shift to cleaner energy accelerates. Countries that move quickly on investment and cooperation will hold strategic advantage by 2030.
