Energy Transition Summit 2024 | Economist Impact | 3 March 2024 | etc. venues, London, 155 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3YD, UK

Join us to explore how to scale clean energy technologies to digitise and decarbonise the grid. Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier, nuclear fusion could provide abundant clean energy, and wind and solar are efficient renewable sources. Carbon capture, utilisation and storage capacity is set to rise more than sevenfold by 2030 (Wood Mackenzie). How to find the best mix of these promising technologies to create tangible outcomes for investors and energy intensive industries, and how long will this take? Interact with investors, climate technology specialists and industry leaders at the Energy Transition Summit to accelerate a path towards scaling clean energy technologies for a greener, digital grid. Find out when and how energy-intensive industries can expect to benefit from renewables, how operators will be able to participate in flexibility markets and what it will take to enhance energy security.
