Tuesday, 12 September 2023 | 1130 - 1300 hrs (UTC+8)

Overview of the session:

As we navigate through an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, it is evident that the most critical challenges we encounter are related to energy transition and decarbonization towards a low carbon future. To address this challenges, we need to make immediate and significant shifts in how energy is generated and consumed to achieve a lower carbon energy system. These shifts, in turn, requires businesses to adopt strategic measures in revamping their business models. The strategic panel discussion will bring together industry experts to discuss the critical role geoscience plays in exploring innovative ways to address the changing energy landscapes and mitigate environmental impact while still meeting the world’s growing energy demands. The focus of the thought-provoking discussion will revolve around the challenges as well as the opportunities presented for energy businesses & professionals in this time of great uncertainty with evolving energy systems, the expectations of future energy talents and the diversification of skills and expertise in contribution towards the energy transition mix and building a sustainable future.
