ENERGY ANALYSIS
In order to understand the Middle East, it helps to explore the energy dimension of this resource rich region.
Since the year 2000, Karin Kneissl lectures on geopolitics of oil and natural gas. She has been teaching energy related topics, inter alia, at the National Defense College Vienna, the Military Academy, the Diplomatic Academy etc. For the OSCE, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, she assumed several missions to Central Asia and completed studies on the political and economic role of natural gas in the area. Among the universities which invite her as guest-lecturer are: Université Saint Joseph in Beirut, the European Business School EBS in the Frankfurt region, the Academy of Sciences of Slovenia.
In spring 2006, her book "Der Energiepoker" was published by the FinanzBuch Verlag in Munich. Two years later a second revised edition was launched. This book has become a reference in various business and academic circles. Karin Kneissl conducts briefings on trends in the energy business for companies in Austria, Germany, Turkey, Iran and beyond. OPEC, as well as energy developments from the Middle East to Central Asia and also subsaharan Africa are her regular topics of research. To present the bigger picture in her lectures, she follows attentively the electricity market and the role of renewables. The latter two topics, however, are not the main focus of her publications.
As an independent analyst she participates on a regular level in commodity seminars and energy debates. Karin Kneissl finances research and journeys by herself, in order to conduct her studies in an independent way.
In June 2021 elected as independent director of the board of Rosneft.
On May 20th, she resigned from the Board after she had informed the company already in early March that she was not running for a second mandate. https://www.rosneft.ru/press/releases/item/210795/
