Global Energy Transformation Alliance: Accelerating Decarbonisation

This lecture discusses the creation of a global energy transformation alliance by Emerald, aiming to innovate faster and better in response to the increasing pressure to innovate in the utility and electricity sectors. The main focus is on accelerating the global energy transformation, particularly decarbonisation, while also addressing trends like digitalisation, decentralisation, electrification, and green molecules. The impact of COVID-19 on the energy sector is also analyzed, highlighting how it has accelerated innovation thinking, particularly in hydrogen and electric mobility. The lecture further explores the long-term implications of the pandemic on sectors like oil, gas, and electricity, as well as the potential shifts in global supply chains and institutional frameworks.
