CONFERENCE
POWERING THE WORLD WHILE PRESERVING THE PLANET
The energy transition is essential to respond to global challenges, powering the world and protecting the planet.
The most crucial global challenge for the planet’s survival is preserving living conditions within tolerable limits for the species that inhabit it. It is urgent to stop and start reversing the harmful effects of global warming caused by human action and the current production system, which has caused a persistent and rapid increase in greenhouse gases and pollution. In the energy transition lies the essence of the answer to the challenge, particularly the need for solutions that drastically reduce the emission of greenhouse gas, which implies political action and technological innovation.
Political action, given the priority that governments (do not) give to investments and subsidies for disruptive technological innovations, contrary to what happened during the 3rd industrial revolution in the 1970s.
Technological innovation, due to the need to continue the search for cleaner energies without neglecting the increase and improvement of the current renewables, which are not, by themselves, sufficient to generate the energy needed for the world.
