Join President Bill Flanagan and Dr. Amit Kumar in exploring energy transition: why is it essential? How can we chart a path forward?
Join us for a thought-provoking session with Dr. Amit Kumar, PhD, PEng and Canada Research Chair in Assessment of Energy Systems, as he explores the critical topic of energy transition through a systems-based lens. In this engaging talk, Dr. Kumar will break down the concept of energy transition — why it's essential and how we can chart a path forward.
As a global leader in energy systems, he will introduce both current and future energy technologies, explaining their potential and challenges, giving attendees a well-rounded understanding of our energy options, as well as the associated costs and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. From renewable sources to emerging technologies, you’ll learn where these innovations stand today, what the future might hold, and how University of Alberta researchers are critical to its success.
In addition, Dr. Kumar will explore how this leading research is shaping investment decisions and informing policy makers on key strategies for a sustainable energy future.
President and Vice-Chancellor Bill Flanagan will host the energizing talk to delve deeper into this topic. Whether you're an energy professional, policymaker, or simply curious about the future of energy, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
