Keynotes

While the Paris Agreement will have global implications, its implementation will take place primarily on the national level. Each country will make its own decisions about how to address hydropower in its energy policy, but the stronger pressure coming from the Paris Agreement and the regular review cycle will likely help to ensure support for hydropower within renewables policy frameworks.

With a global hype on renewables, hydrogen, biomass, electric vehicles and other enablers of green energy transition, the importance of continuous improvement of energy efficiency in many industries has been overlooked. Minister Turmes’s keynote speech will focus on the main factors that can enable governments and corporations to intensify their energy efficiency programs to further accelerate their energy transformation.

• Overall objectives of the European Green Deal

• The future power generation mix

• Investment required to meet the targets

As the world enters the Energy 4.0 era, all aspects of energy generation, distribution, consumption and smart production are going to face significant changes due to technologies as big data, IoT and cloud computing. In his presentation our speaker will share his advice and case studies of successful digital transformation of energy units.

• Technological progress as one of the key enablers of a cost-efficient energy transition

• Key business opportunities for energy industry solution providers

• The role of carbon capture and small modular nuclear reactor technologies in energy transition

• Achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

On the first day of the Biden administration in office the presentation of Gregory Wetstone, the President and CEO of ACORE will be focused on the first highly anticipated strategic decisions of the new administration as well as their long-term plan to make the USA a global pioneer in renewable energy development.
