the Energy and Power Grid Transition by 2050

Session 1: Shifting to a sustainable energy landscape

Advancing Urban Progress: A Collaborative Effort As the world transitions towards a sustainable future, various industries are collaborating to drive urban progress. The energy sector is at the forefront, transitioning to renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. Emerging technologies, such as green hydrogen, energy storage, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and microgrids are promising solutions for a clean and reliable energy supply. Beyond energy, the transportation, construction, and manufacturing sectors are also embracing sustainable practices. Electric vehicles, green building materials, and circular economy principles are shaping the future of these industries. By working together, we can create vibrant, resilient, and environmentally friendly cities.
