ALIGNING ENERGY INVESTMENTS WITH CLIMATE GOALS
Global energy markets are having to learn to adapt in today's ever-changing industry landscape, which is striving for cleaner energy, facing geopolitical constraints, and unprecedented inflation rates.
The increased urgency of the climate crisis has accelerated calls to action for the energy sector to accelerate decarbonisation activities over the next decade and achieve meaningful targets by 2030. With the global energy mix shifting from fossil fuel-based systems of energy production and consumption to renewable energy sources, an estimated $200 trillion in global investments needed to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Despite renewable energies gaining momentum, they still only account for approximately 6% of the world's energy consumption. Global energy demand is anticipated to rise through 2050 with oil remaining the largest energy source, investment in oil and gas projects and infrastructure will therefore be vital in ensuring affordable and reliable energy supply throughout this transitional period. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions continue to underline the importance of a more gradual transition, both for energy security and environmental reasons.
The fourth edition of the EGYPES Finance and Investment in Energy Conference will gather energy leaders, sustainable finance and climate experts to assess the economic uncertainties facing global economies in leveraging financial mechanisms and capital market tools to deliver
future energy systems.
