  Hydrogen: The missing piece of the energy puzzle

  Workshop

  Hydrogen and renewable gas are highly versatile fuels that can be used in all sectors of the economy. The potential of hydrogen and hydrogen derived fuels, to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system is widely recognized by industry and policymakers. This workshop will discuss recent global developments, and identify signposts that will provide early indications of the role that hydrogen will play in the future energy mix, as well as providing an overview of the fundamentals of hydrogen production, supply, and use as an energy carrier.

  Alternative Renewables: Which technologies can scale?

  Clean Tech

  Deep decarbonization will require an “all of the above” approach, where society deploys a myriad of strategies to lowering emissions. The increasing penetration of wind and solar have already shown that complimenting and competing renewable technologies are necessary to balance a decarbonized electric grid. What technologies could join wind and solar at the scale necessary for the upcoming energy transition?

  Energy Innovation Pioneers: Start up the Energy Transition

  Innovation & Technology

  Ambitious policy and corporate targets for decarbonization are driving the energy transition. New tools will be necessary to manage the additional complexities of matching supply and demand, particularly for the reliable supply of electric power. Startups can bring the novel ideas necessary and bear the risks required to meet the challenge in ways traditional utilities cannot. What nimble strategies and new concepts are on the horizon? Who are the people at the forefront of cutting-edge technology? How can big data, analytics, and material sciences help chart the energy transition?
