Summary:

Now On Demand.

The energy transition is accelerating faster than ever. The move higher in global natural gas and power prices is potentially a longer-term catalyst for acceleration of development of renewable energy capacity globally across a variety of technologies including solar, wind, green hydrogen, among others. Similarly, the transition to EVs which are up to three-to-four times more energy efficient than ICE vehicles are likely the best way to reduce emissions. Finally, with fertilizer prices surging amid supply chain disruptions, AgTech could play an increasingly important role as it seeks to minimize agricultural inputs and maximize outputs.

Topics of Discussion:

  • Mobility – Electric vehicle (EV) sales are reaching an inflection point as consumers, auto manufacturers, and governments accelerate the shift away from internal combustion engines (ICEs) and towards battery-powered vehicles.
  • Climate Change – Transitioning to clean energy sources and adopting clean technologies would put us on a path that limits climate warming and reduces its impacts.
  • AgTech & Food Innovation – Unsustainable practices around food and water are driving food insecurity, water scarcity, and climate change. As population growth continues, innovation must upend our approach to food and water.
