Energy Transition Summit | 25 & 27 MAY
Transition Summits
Information
In 2019 solar, wind and hydropower projects were rolling out at their fastest rate in four years, and in 2018 nuclear plants generated 28% of the electricity produced in the EU-27. A combination of clean energy sources including bioenergy, CSP and geothermal will be vital if we are to meet the Paris Agreement Targets. One other vital aspect is clean hydrogen. From use as an energy source to an energy carrier, it is looking as though hydrogen, both blue and green, will be a crucial part of the mix.
As communities and economies begin to get back on track following the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant economic shock, they must do so in the right way, utilising and supporting clean energy.
Core topics to be addressed:
-How to accelerate the hydrogen economy for a net-zero transition?
-Will nuclear be play a critical role in meeting Paris Agreement targets?
-Energy storage vs energy generation - which should be prioritised?
-What energy technologies are vital to ensuring a stable and flexible grid?
-Exploring the multiple benefits of energy efficiency across the development agenda, including health and jobs.
