🌟 Reflecting on #CERAWeek, arguably the world’s most influential #energy conference, where industry, government, financial institutions, academia and NGOs engaged here in Houston in dynamic and sometimes heated debates. The 2024 edition centered on the successes and challenges of the energy transition, starting from how it means different things to different people, particularly in the context of the global north-global south divide. This year, the conference’s focus shifted from energy supply to energy demand, with significant attention to #power and #AI. Here are my three key takeaways from the discussions: 1️⃣ Emphasis on AND-equations: The energy transition must address simultaneous demands for more energy AND lower emissions. The pathway forward will involve both low- AND zero-carbon energy: LNG, #CCUS, blue and green H2/NH3, renewables, and #nuclear. 2️⃣ Refocus on the low-hanging fruit: A strong call to action on accelerating methane emissions reduction, in the wake of COP28. 3️⃣ While technical #innovation and #climate solutions seem to be available, aligning #global politics/policies and securing financing in time to achieve the Paris Agreement goals prove to be the most complicated hurdles. A highlight of the week was the Women in Energy dinner hosted by ExxonMobil, which featured a line-up of extraordinary impressive speakers (Kathleen Ash, Leanne Todd, Amani Abou-Zeid أماني أبوزيد, Evelyn Wang and Martina Cheung), and massive attendance of female and male leaders in energy. Powerful. 🌍 CERAWeek underscored once again the importance of collaborative and coordinated efforts on a global scale toward a sustainable energy future, and of attracting and retaining talents to the industry. #energytransition #whatinspiresme #technology #lowcarbon

How are we "Fueling the Future?" Our CEO Tony Pan will be presenting solutions at Techonomy Climate West in Silicon Valley on April 3 with Dan Costa. Techonomy Climate West is billed as an epicenter of innovation and discourse, aiming to confront the most pressing issue of our era—climate change. This year, the conference is focused on "Encoding Resilience, where innovation meets urgency." Tony will join experts, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and tech pioneers as they navigate the complexities of the climate crisis and unprecedented global challenges. The conference strives for cross-industry conversations for a diversified approach, harnessing the power of technology to accelerate positive change and propel us toward a sustainable future. Join us for Tony's session April 3 at 2:40 pm for the "Fueling the Future" session at #TechonomyClimate. https://lnkd.in/ec_HEamE #Hydrogen #Decarbonization #HeavyIndustry #NaturalGas #Infrastructure #NetZero #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #SustainableFuture

The lastest episode has dropped! What’s it all about? People, Policies and Technology. Unsung cleantech heroes, why we shouldn’t worry too much about Trump in the Whitehouse, at least where the IRA is concerned. I take a deep dive into the economic and technological drivers of the energy and mobility transition with Bloomberg News Climate reporter and Author of Climate Capitalism, Akshat Rathi, it’s a great episode, Take a watch/listen. https://lnkd.in/eJjtgWDH #cleantech #climatetech #energytransition #emobilityrevolution

A key takeaway from this week's Breakthrough Energy Summit is that climate tech is buzzing with innovation, and every breakthrough brings us closer to a sustainable future. From futuristic fusion energy to cutting-edge carbon capture, the possibilities are endless. We asked our BCG experts to share the climate technologies they're most excited about and how these game-changing innovations can give businesses a sustainable edge. Get inspired by the incredible advancements shaping our planet's future. #BESummit24 #BCGatBESummit

The #GreenHydrogenSummit Report is out!! We were thrilled to host a highly successful #GreenHydrogenSummit at the World Future Energy Summit, uniting policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs from across the globe to propel the #GreenHydrogen economy forward. Speakers emphasized the vast potential of #GreenHydrogen to decarbonize industries and achieve crucial climate targets. High-level discussions explored ongoing innovations and projects worldwide, the challenges of financing and building infrastructure, and the logistical and political hurdles ahead. Throughout these conversations, collaboration and possibility remained central, weaving through topics such as finance, infrastructure, politics, partnerships, and technology. 🔗Check out the full #GreenHydrogenSummit report: https://lnkd.in/dKAbhPfc #Masdar #PioneeringEnergy Boris Johnson | Bertrand Piccard, Climate Impulse | H.E.

I am so deeply honored to be recognized by the NECEC as one of the Faces of the Climate Economy! Many thanks to Joe Curtatone for highlighting the work I am doing, and for his mission to lead a rapid and equitable transition to a clean energy future. I actually have in my notebook, some very inspiring words of Joe's that he shared at a talk he gave to Cleantech Open a year ago. For that and many other reasons this is special to me! Check out the article here (it requires some scrolling): https://lnkd.in/eJJB8YdR.

This week I will be attending the Breakthrough Energy Summit to help develop and deploy the climate solutions needed to achieve net-zero by 2050. In a recent article, my colleagues Esben Hegnsholt, Edward Zaayman, Mogens Holm, Søren Skovgård Møller, Malo Grisard, Alice Iavarone and I explore new approaches to accelerate timelines of large PtX projects while reducing costs and risks, including new stage-gate processes and metrics, new ways of working and skills, use of probabilistic models and AI-driven optimization, new partnership and contracting models, and better use of climate finance and incentives for early-stage investments. https://lnkd.in/d4EtjVYZ We are now working on a new article to explore further the challenges Energy companies face to reconcile faster action on climate and value creation, due to the cost of emerging technologies, gaps in policy and difficulty to charge green premiums. Leading companies are developing winning strategies to navigate this challenge, strengthening competitive advantage, improving business resilience, and sustainably creating value. Looking forward to connecting at the summit to advance climate solutions. #BESummit24 #BCGatBESummit
