Power Shift (12th January 2021/13th January in APAC)

US Energy Policy Reset in 2021 and beyond

Trailer

Recording

We are at a pivot point for US domestic energy energy policy. With tax credits set to expire, deteriorating infrastructure, and recent deregulation, America must decide whether to rebuild with a 20th century architecture, or reshape its entire energy value chain for the 21st century.

The incoming Biden administration has committed to re-entering the Paris Accord, and setting policy to achieve a 100% clean energy economy and net-zero emissions no later than 2050.

There are significant geopolitical implications, with a right wing government in the UK pursuing an ambitious agenda for the COP 26 meeting (late 2021) and another in Australia that has taken a much more ambivalent position.  In the midst of all this, China continues to drive towards energy independence, which implies elimination of (eg) coal imports in due course. 

With this as context, we will discuss the following questions:

• How is US energy policy likely to unfold in 2021?
• Where are the biggest opportunities across the entire domestic energy value chain?
• What are the global implications?

Our special guests will be:

• Jigar Shah, Co-Founder & President, Generate Capital Inc, Founder of SunEdison, and previous CEO of Carbon War Room
• Chris Castro, Director of Sustainability & Resilience, City of Orlando
• Additional guests to be announced shortly
