Session 2: Balancing tomorrow’s energy choices

14:00 - 15:00

Energy leaders are tasked with choosing between competing fuel choices such as gas, coal, renewables and nuclear to meet our future energy needs. However, the task of determining the ideal fuel mix is a balancing act. It requires both public and private sectors to factor in economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, as more policies gear themselves towards diversity to ensure security energy leaders need to determine the optimal balance between their fuel choices and manage the potential trade-offs.

What are some of the challenges in managing the balancing act when choosing among the myriad of fuel options?
Is there an ideal balance for our future fuel mix?
In an increasingly interconnected world, how do energy choices impact other regions?
