Meeting the world’s ambitious net-zero goals will require establishing new and robust supply lines for the minerals, materials and fuels needed for the energy transition. These supply chains will be built in a new era of economic competition between major powers that see securing the clean energy industries of the future as a national priority. Are these supply chains being built and expanded fast enough to meet the needs of the energy transition? How are companies responding to government efforts to bring their supply chains closer to home? Where is more investment and effort needed most?
The 2024 US election campaign is ramping up and the stakes are high for the energy sector ahead of November’s vote. The Biden administration has passed the U.S.’ most ambitious climate legislation and overseen strong growth in U.S. oil production and LNG exports. But it has also taken steps that could curtail future growth by restricting licensing and putting future LNG exports projects under review. What is the outlook for energy policy and politics in Washington in an election year—and after?

The push to decarbonize the global economy is opening new vistas of opportunity and risk for major international energy companies. Global companies are continuing to invest in their core businesses as they look for new growth opportunities in the energy transition. How should companies think about their capital allocation priorities and strategies? Which technologies are most promising for traditional oil companies? What are the strategies and choices for oil and gas companies and technology companies responding to government, investor and consumer demands to decarbonize while also ensuring today’s fuels remain accessible and affordable?
Conversation with Ryan Lance, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, ConocoPhillips, and Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman, S&P Global.
Pushing for a single, global energy transition path is unrealistic and could derail efforts to reach net-zero emissions. Energy security and affordability come to the fore when lives and livelihoods are at stake. The huge gap between per capita incomes in developed and developing nations leads to different ranking of priorities. What are the paths for energy transition that also support economic growth and global prosperity in different regions and different sectors? How can digital technology and AI advance the transition and help bridge the gaps?

The move to electrify all that can be electrified is underway. Electricity is the way forward: it is expected that it will take a larger share of the energy mix, be used to create low-carbon fuels, heat our homes and power our cars. Power demand growth will impact consumers and utilities alike and shape tomorrow’s power markets. What sectors will drive demand growth and what is the timeframe? How will the industry manage this challenge along with the requirements to cut emissions and guarantee reliable supply?
Walter Isaacson offers unique insight into innovation and the character of innovators and what enables them to succeed. He has chronicled historic steps forward in technology and the people who made them happen—most recently in his acclaimed new biography of Elon Musk. That is one of a series of extraordinary biographies—of Steve Jobs, Leonardo DaVinci, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin and Nobel prize winner Jennifer Doudna. Walter shares his thoughts and what he’s learned in a wide-ranging conversation with Daniel Yergin. Formerly editor of Time Magazine and CEO of CNN, Walter is now professor of history at Tulane University and host of “Amanpour and Company” on PBS and CNN.
Developments over the last three years have shaken expectations of a linear global transition as climate goals compete with economic development, energy access, energy security and affordability. The events of the last few years have made it clear that there cannot be an energy transition without energy security. We are beginning a multidimensional transition: a multispeed, multifueled and multi-technology transition with different road maps and end points for different countries. How can the deployment and scaling of new technologies be accelerated? What will be the approaches to implementing the COP 28 commitments?
