Panels
“Accelerating Renewable Energy through Standards”
Moderator: Rudi Schubert
Standards can make a difference in how a new technology is implemented, especially in the area of renewable energy. This panel will discuss recently released standards enabling renewable energy, and engagements related to these standards where IEEE is actively supporting clean energy and climate change solutions, including our involvement in the Global Power Systems Transformation Consortium.
Moderator: Sharan Kalwani
Nuclear power continues to develop technologically. Abundant energy is the base for advanced societies. We are being squeezed by two forces. The first is that our coal and oil burning does inflict lethal damage. The second is that both are finite resource lifetimes. For sustainability we need to focus on technologies that can supply our needs – 24×7 and long term. This panel will discuss recent positive developments and trends in the nuclear industry.
Moderator: Siobhan Dolan Clancy, Founder & CEO of SDC Business Consulting Ltd.
We are now seeing a fundamental paradigm shift in the way the aviation sector is embracing a net-zero emissions target by 2050, with a common understanding that it will take multiple stakeholders working together to make it possible. There is a coming together of industry stakeholders including airlines, airports, aircraft /engine manufacturers, fuel suppliers as well as government and regulators in declarations of commitment and partnerships to work together to reach the aggressive emission reduction target while the industry is forecasting passenger numbers and air traffic to double in the same timeframe.
