    Reimagining the Energy Future

    Innovation & Technology

    Although the global energy mix is always in a state of continuous transition, the sheer scale of the world’s energy system makes the sort of rapid changes seen in technology difficult to replicate in energy. Yet in recent years, growth in unconventional oil and gas and solar PV are often cited as revolutionary changes. Are there similar energy revolutions on the horizon? Could we visualize a fundamentally different global energy system? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about bending the emissions curve? What surprised you the most? How impactful will Gen AI be in the energy sector? Is a clean energy future moving faster than many people think? How can energy transition be orderly and balanced?
