Professor Teddy Püttgen is a world-renowned expert on the Energy Transition. Executives International had the pleasure to host Teddy in 2020. The audience were amazed by his ability to explain complex issues in simple terms.
We are delighted to announce that Teddy will be doing a follow-up webinar on the following theme:
- Recent IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports confirm the predominant impact of human activities on climate change and global warming.
- The overarching necessity thus remains, more than ever, to rapidly and profoundly decarbonize not only energy consumption but also its production.
- This requires that electricity play an increasingly important role in future energy mixes, which, in turn, requires that the production of electricity be low- and eventually zero-carbon, i.e., renewable while keeping in mind that nuclear energy is zero-carbon in operation.
- It is this context that Europe’s energy and electricity supply challenges should be considered, focusing on fossil fuel sources and particularly on natural gas.
Using the energy consumptions and electricity productions in a few countries to illustrate the variety of situations to be faced, the difficulties to resize and realign Europe’s natural gas supplies after the Ukraine war can be presented, including the likely geopolitical shifts as well as the consequences of nuclear energy exit decisions being implemented in several countries. The rise LNG (liquid natural gas) supply routes and the growing coordination role of the European Union are additional dimensions of a post Ukraine war energy configuration.
Once Teddy has developed his arguments there will be plenty of time for you to ask your questions in the second part of the webinar.
Registration for this webinar will also provide you access to the original webinar “Energy Mutation – Let’s Get Going!” It is strongly recommended that you access the original webinar to better understand the energy transition.
