Israel’s transportation sector, as with those of other developed countries, relies almost entirely on oil as its energy source. Despite this, Israel has little of its own oil & gas resources, and risks exposure to potential economic or geopolitical shocks that might disrupt the standard supply of energy that Israel relies on.

This research examines the ability – or lack thereof – of the Israeli transportation sector to deal with potential shocks or disruptions in the global oil & gas sector, and the possibility that alternative fuels offer in terms of providing energy security in the short and medium term.
