Agenda
Mapping the energy transition in Asia – implications for global energy markets
Wed Dec 2 | 9:15 AM - 9:55 AM GMT
In the energy transition, what happens in Asia has major implications for the pace of change, and whether global warming can be tamed. And it’s not just in the dynamics of energy supply and demand that the region has an outsize role. With its ambition to lead the world with a new model for green growth, China has invested more in renewables than any other nation. Its leadership position in the manufacture of green technologies, including solar panels and wind turbines, as well as in batteries and electric vehicles (EVs) has enabled the cost of clean energy technologies to fall dramatically, and could do the same for hydrogen. The global stakes are high. What is the pace of change in India and in China? And what does it mean for the global energy markets and the transition to net zero? What does Chinese leadership of the energy transition mean, and will it continue? When will Chinese coal demand peak and will Chinese wind, solar and EV growth flatline or continue to grow exponentially? Will Asia kick its coal habit, and will India succeed with its ambitious renewables and EV ambitions?
Panelists:
- Dr. Ajay Mathur, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute
- Assaad Razzouk, CEO, Sindicatum Renewable Energy
- Moderated By: Henry Sanderson, Metals and Mining Correspondent, Financial Times
The Big FT Debate: Is there a role for gas in a net-zero economy?
Wed Dec 2 | 3:30 PM - 4:15 PM GMT
Is gas the next stranded asset? Gas is viewed as a vital part of the energy transition while the problems relating to intermittency of renewables remain unresolved. Yet pressure on gas is growing from both investors and the public, with financiers considering whether to continue financing some forms of gas projects in future. Oil and gas companies, for their part, are putting their faith in gas continuing to play a significant role in the energy mix throughout the transition. Will we see strong sustainable demand for gas throughout the transition? How long is the gas bridge? Will the expansion of renewables be able to keep pace with growing energy demand without gas?
Panelists:
