HOUSTON, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
The 42nd annual gathering of CERAWeek by S&P Global—the
world's preeminent energy conference—will convene energy industry
leaders, experts, government officials and policymakers, as well as
leaders from the technology, financial and industrial communities,
March 18-22 in Houston.
CERAWeek 2024: Multidimensional Energy Transition: Markets,
climate, technology and geopolitics will explore strategies
for a multidimensional, multispeed and multifuel energy
transition—one that reflects different realities and timelines by
region, technology, industry strategies, as well as the variety of
social and political approaches and divergent national priorities
in an increasingly multipolar world.
Chaired by Daniel Yergin, Vice
Chairman of S&P Global and author of The New Map: Energy,
Climate and the Clash of Nations, the conference will explore
key elements of this transformative era and what it means for
markets, geopolitics, investment, supply chains, technology and
competitive strategies.
"The increasing focus on energy transition following
COP28 coincides with a growing
realization of just how complex the road ahead will be," said
Yergin. "Expectations of a linear path to Net-zero are giving way
to recognition that this will be a multidimensional energy
transition—one that is inclusive of different situations in
different parts of the world and takes into account energy security
and affordability. The reality of a multispeed transition presents
both opportunities and challenges. Meeting those challenges, and
realizing the promise, of the new energy future will be the focus
of the world's energy leaders at CERAWeek 2024 in Houston."
The CERAWeek 2024 conference program will explore key themes
related to:
- Energy Markets – How will supply and demand balance
in a world of uncertainty?
- Policy and Geopolitics – How will growing global
tensions and conflicts reshape the international order?
- Company Strategies – Who will prevail and what will be
sustainable competitive advantages for companies? Will companies be
rewarded for diversification?
- Power Markets in Transition – What are the choices and
challenges ahead in the face of growing power demand and testing of
resilience?
- New Supply Chains for Net Zero – Where are the greatest
stresses and sources of disruptions? How will the market for
hydrogen develop? What will reshoring mean for energy?
- Minerals and Metals – Where will critical minerals and
metals be sourced and processed? How will this shape the energy
transition, and future geopolitics?
- Climate and Sustainability – How will decarbonization
proceed and how will climate goals coexist with priorities around
economic growth, security, affordability and access? What will be
the approaches to implementing the COP28 commitments?
- Technology and Innovation – What role will AI play? How
can the deployment and scaling of new technologies be accelerated?
What are the next breakthroughs? What are the changing roles for
nuclear power, geothermal, mobility, CCUS, battery storage and
renewables?
- Capital Transition – How will persistent inflation and
the higher cost of capital impact energy and infrastructure
investment? What is the future of carbon markets, and their impact?
What are the emerging financial strategies?
The week-long event will also include the CERAWeek Innovation
Agora, serving as the center of technology and innovation
programming at the conference. Featuring a community of thought
leaders, technologists, start-ups, investors, academics, energy
companies and government officials, the Innovation Agora will
showcase transformational technology platforms in energy and
adjacent industries ranging across AI, decarbonization, low carbon
fuels, cybersecurity, hydrogen, nuclear, mining and minerals,
mobility, automation, and more. The 2024 program will also feature
