Electricity is a linchpin of the “Net Zero by 2050” roadmap for the global energy sector; this fact is driving demand worldwide for electrification using renewable energy generation. In the U.S., the existing grid isn’t ready to deliver a decarbonized, stable, and resilient power supply. Meeting this big renewable goal requires even bigger investments in infrastructure.
In this webcast, energy industry experts will discuss the changes to the grid that are necessary today in order to have a flexible, stable, and clean power supply tomorrow. They’ll explore the opportunities and bottlenecks in this process and envision how the future grid could use a variety of clean energy sources.
This is the third and final session of the 2021 Cornell Energy Connection (CEC), Cornell’s premier energy event, being held virtually in November and December. The conference features panel discussions on key issues impacting the sector, including energy transition, decarbonization, and the impact government and investors have on the future of clean power supply. CEC is hosted by the SC Johnson College of Business Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise (CSGE) and the Cornell Energy Club.
