| | | Today’s energy system is a huge and deeply interlinked physical entity with around 60,000 power plants, two million kilometers of oil and gas pipelines, and 1.5 billion vehicles on the road. Despite the momentum of recent years, the energy transition is in its early stages. Only 10 percent of the low-emissions power capacity needed by 2050 to meet global climate commitments is currently deployed. Navigating the remaining 90 percent requires confronting the reality that the energy transition is at its core a physical transformation—on a colossal scale.
We have identified 25 physical challenges that must be addressed, which relate to the performance of low-emissions technologies and the scaling of the supply chains and infrastructure needed to deploy them.
Join us on Thursday, September 5 at 11:00AM–12:00PM ET (5:00PM–6:00PM CET) for a virtual event featuring a presentation by McKinsey’s Chris Bradley, Mekala Krishnan, Humayun Tai, and leading industry experts who will discuss the physical challenges that would need to be addressed for a successful energy transition and the opportunities for innovation and system reconfiguration to tackle them. This event will explore the findings of a new report, The hard stuff: Navigating the physical realities of the energy transition.
Among topics discussed will include: | | | | | The nature of today’s energy system and its performance, and the potential for low-emissions technologies to match that performance | | | | | | | The current status of the energy transition | | | | | | | Our comprehensive stocktake of 25 physical challenges that would need to be addressed | | | | | | | Why 12 of the 25 challenges are particularly difficult to tackle—the demanding dozen | | | | | | | How CEOs and policymakers can use an understanding of the physical challenges to navigate through a successful transition | | | | | | | Once registered, you will receive an email confirmation and can add the event to your calendar. Registrants who can’t attend live will receive a recording of the event. | | | | |
