Singapore Energy Summit (SES) is qualified for 4 PDUs by PEB

The Singapore Energy Summit (SES) is a platform for strategic panel discussions on key energy issues. Featuring energy ministers and industry CEOs, the SES provides SIEW delegates with strategic insights into the current developments in the global energy landscape and how energy stakeholders could address the challenges and opportunities ahead.

The energy landscape continues to experience major shifts. Global energy demand is expanding, and this is especially pronounced in Asia. The growth in energy demand will also be driven by electrification of transportation, industries and buildings. This demand has been supported by increased supply of oil and gas, lowered cost of renewables and technological advancements in energy storage. However, there remain concerns over meeting climate change commitments, even as renewable energy investments hit record highs. Against this backdrop, SIEW will provide a platform for global energy stakeholders to deliberate on and accelerate the transformation towards a more sustainable energy future.

11:30 - 12:30 hrs Session 1: Transformation – Accelerating Action
+

This session will explore how we can accelerate the transformation needed to ensure a more sustainable energy future. In particular, it will look at how energy stakeholders can collaborate and deliberate on moving from ambition to action.

  • What does the energy transformation look like for Asia?
  • How can governments and industry work together more effectively to co-create solutions to ensure a more sustainable energy future?
  • How do we overcome hurdles to the future energy transition such as financing to move from ambition to action?
