Transition and innovation: how companies are shaping the future of energy

The global energy transition is set to dramatically reshape the energy landscape. Currently, about 80% of global energy is derived from fossil fuels, but the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario aims for renewable energy to constitute two-thirds of global supply by 2050. Achieving this target is no small feat and will necessitate a substantial shift in how energy companies look at their business, profoundly affecting their entire value chain—from strategy to production to the end consumer. In response to this, numerous energy companies have embarked on a transformative journey. Companies are approaching the transition in different ways, with many using innovative approaches, from shifting business models, to changing their product portfolio, to providing differentiated consumer experiences. The pressing question remains: How can energy companies adapt to this rapidly evolving energy landscape, and what strategic insights can they learn from the trailblazers who have successfully navigated this transition?

Attendee insights:

Energy leaders – from traditional energy players and renewable providers to new entrants – will provide their perspectives on how their organisations are navigating the energy transition and how are they innovating to achieve their goals.

Climate Optimism: harnessing the energy supercycle

The world is entering a new era of significant power demand growth, which is expected to double by 2040. This reflects both unmet needs, with 750 million people lacking access to reliable power, and the expanding role of electricity in modern economies. Combined with geopolitical tensions, energy security is back to the top of the agenda.

Despite concerns that this supercycle could slow down the energy transition, we already have today the technologies to meet load growth while progressively cleaning up the system. An ‘all-of-the-above’ approach is needed, leveraging dispatchable sources like gas, nuclear or hydro, accelerating renewables and modernising the grid.

Attendee insights:

In this Energy Talk, Maví Zingoni, CEO, Power at GE Vernova, will also discuss how this energy supercycle represents an opportunity to invest in transformative technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs), carbon capture, low-carbon fuels, and more.
