Tackling the transition: decarbonisation and the future of energy

Most of the world’s energy and industrial organizations used the momentum behind COP26 to either announce or re-iterate their commitments to reach net zero by at least 2050, if not earlier. The commitments, however, are the simple part. The difficulty comes in taking the lead with the energy transition and enacting a commercially viable strategy to reach net zero.

In this whitepaper we address what impact decarbonisation will have on the economy, and what regions will be best placed to tackle the energy transition and the race to reach net-zero.

Produced in partnership with Reuters, the report aims to answer tough questions like what can non-O&G producing economies do to compete and what needs to happen to make either scenario become a reality? And how can we think beyond net-zero and aim for net negative, so that we can truly make a difference?

We will also analyse what needs to happen – both in the supply and demand side – to ensure that hydrogen is cost-effective and widely available enough to become a viable long-term green energy vector.

Honouring Net Zero Commitments

Building on the broader topic of what the energy sector must address when approaching the transition to net-zero, we recently partnered with Reuters to host a webinar ‘Honoring Net Zero Commitments’.

Joined by U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk alongside a panel of experts, GHD’s Tim Mawhood and Tej Gidda hosted a discussion around the more immediate steps that need to be taken – even during geo-political crises – to keep us on the path to net zero. The panel also discussed existing investment and innovations that are being implemented, and how governments are addressing grid infrastructure to enable equitable access to low-carbon energy.

This webinar was created in partnership with Reuters Events to provide an invaluable resource on some of the most important topics of our time. With insights from industry experts including Engie, ArcelorMittal, TotalEnergies Ventures and the U.S. Department of Energy, this is not one to be missed. Watch the 60-minute webinar on-demand below.
