NEW STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR THE ENERGY INDUSTRIES 

Setting the scene: DNV presenting the “ANNUAL ENERGY TRANSITION OUTLOOK “, Sverre Alvik  Project Director ETO Energy Transition Outlook

A technology-driven energy transition of staggering scale and speed will lead to a rapid decarbonization of the energy mix, with almost half our energy needs met by renewables by 2050. Plunging technology costs and market forces are driving the transition, but without bold policy intervention we will fall well short of the Paris climate goals. These are some of the findings of the third edition of the Energy Transition Outlook (ETO), which, owing to DNV GL’s independence and technical expertise, has become a respected voice in forecasting our energy future. >> read more

ENERGY PATTERNS TOWARDS THE FUTURE

The panels will debate the different routes to make available a sustainable energy in the future: technologies to convert organic and inorganic waste into energy products, new processes and products utilising recovered waste plastics, transforming them into secondary raw materials, decarbonization strategy with the deployment of new technologies aimed at capturing and using carbon emissions, the zero emission sources, such as solar, wind and hybrid systems, the digitalization that can help to create new opportunities for integrated solutions where efficiency and renewable energy work together.

 

Chairperson – Giambattista De Ghetto,  Professor Energy Dept. Polithecnic of Milan

Panel 2 – Chemical Sector

New recycling technologies, Chemistry from renewables. 

Chemical conversion routes offer the possibility to transform waste materials into high value-added products: for this reason, the chemical industry is key to unlock all the potential of the Circular Economy paradigm.

The panel will present experiences from various industries,  from  novel technologies as well as a fresh perspective on the market potential of the green chemical sector.

The discussion will also focus on the potential of the Circular Economy model applied to the transformation of the current business models of the industry.

Panel 3 – Zero Emissions

Wave Energy, Solar and Wind Power, OPV – Organic Photovoltaics, Smart Windows, CCUS: Algal Bio-fixation and CO2 Mineralisation, Energy Storage 

In order to cope with the low carbon emission scenarios, current technologies are not sufficient to meet, in a sustainable way, the ever increasing energy demand.

However, technology innovation is rapidly bringing to the demonstration phase a broad array of zero-emission energy technology, which promise to become profitable in the near future.

The panel will present technology options and their recent field applications in the area of marine renewables, new generation photovoltaics, CO2 capture and energy storage.

Digital revolution is one of the current and future mega-trends which will transform the way societies function today, impacting virtually every sector.

Digitization is also rapidly transforming the energy industry by increasing safety- through drones and robots- plant efficiency, through sensors and new machine learning algorithms.

In addition, high power computing is paving the way for exponentially increasing the power of data interpretation, in fields as diverse as smart cities management and oil & gas exploration.

THE TRANSITION PATH IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA – INNOVATIVE NETWORK FOR FUTURE ENERGY

The Mediterranean region is at a cross-roads of civilizations and is made up of countries with varied economic, political and cultural profiles. The rapid development of Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries leads to a significant increase of energy demand which is changing the economic and energy landscape of the Region.
Today almost 80% of the region’s renewable energy supply is in the Northern countries. Of the remaining 20% in the Southern and Eastern countries, 73% refers to Turkey. According to OME, around 3 trillion euros will be needed between 2018 and 2040 to cover all the Mediterranean energy investment needs. Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before.
