What does it take to transform our energy systems? Join us for a symposium on transforming energy and industrial systems towards net-zero futures!
This symposium convenes leading voices from across the energy system, from policy and market design to industrial technologies to critical minerals underpinning the transformation.
- Jiang Lin (UC Berkeley) will benchmark China’s power system transition and non-fossil goals
- Michael Pollitt (Cambridge) will examine what the UK coal phase-out teaches us about regulation and market design
- Christian Hasse (TU Darmstadt) will present iron fuels as an emerging pathway for retrofitting coal-based infrastructure
- Karla Cervantes Barrón (Imperial College London) will address critical mineral supply chains and what resource efficiency means for low-carbon transitions, including for countries in the Global South
Keynotes are complemented by short perspectives from Professor Kun Luo (Zhejiang University), Lukas Gast (University College London), Liqun Peng (UC Berkeley) and Arne Scholtissek (TU Darmstadt).
