Keynote Discussion with General (Ret.) David Petraeus [2021 Arab-US Policymakers Conference]

Join the Council for a discussion examining current and future energy dynamics. As the structure of energy demand changes, with the importance of fossil fuels predicted to decline in the decades to come, how can energy production and delivery systems incorporate a growing share of renewable energy and manage increased electrification? Will the transition to a low-carbon world require a range of other energy sources and technologies, including low-carbon hydrogen, modern bioenergy, and carbon capture, use, and storage? What factors are most critical in shaping regional and global energy dynamics, and how might they shift in the years ahead? Explore these questions and more with Dr. Shihab Kuran, Mr. Phillip Cornell, and Mr. Colby Connelly. Visit www.ncusar.org for more information.
