Covid-19 has actually accelerated energy transition
The Atlantic Council (AC) held its annual Global Energy Forum at Abu Dhabi end of January. The main speakers were the world’s top energy and foreign policy decision makers, who examined the longer-term geopolitical and geo-economic implications of the changing energy system, setting the global energy agenda for the year ahead. The key findings are presented in this article.
A year after the last forum, the Covid-19 crisis still hangs over the world with public health and economic consequences. But hopefully, with the spread of vaccines and treatments, we will soon be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. That also applies to the world energy crisis.
UAE deserves praise for its environment-friendly efforts, especially because it is one of the lowest Greenhouse GAS (GHG) emitters in the oil and gas world, said Frederick Kempe, CEO of the Atlantic Council.
