Summary:
Konidena and Smith will offer their perspectives on the emerging trends in the industry, as the pathway to decarbonization becomes more critical.
It is clear that the integration of renewables is transforming the electric sector and subsequently the transportation sector through vehicle electrification. But as progress takes hold in these areas, what will the next wave of change bring? Industry experts are turning their focus to decarbonizing the thermal sectors and integrating the behind the scenes technologies and policies that will make deeper and more sustainable change possible.
As the electrical energy system transforms to become less carbon intensive and more responsive and resilient, we will see electrification gain momentum as a strategy to achieve environmental objectives. Proponents of this strategy are promoting a shift of the overall energy system to dependence on the electric grid or energy islands (microgrids) that are self-reliant with their own, isolatable electric infrastructure. But what other changes will be needed to make this possible and affordable? How will solutions such as hydrogen and renewable gas factor into infrastructure planning? Will renewable fuels or behind the scenes controls play a larger factor in decarbonizing delivered energy? Our speakers will take on some of these big questions and offer their insights into the incredible dynamics and potential of the energy industry.
