While acknowledging that the energy transition is well underway in California, the conversation will focus on the need for continued creativity, collaboration, solution-focused policy and investment across all sectors. The opening session will see a discussion on the role of technology as one of the key levers to aid California’s energy transition. Technology, research and development - whether by niche green-tech companies, established energy incumbents, or preferably both - has a role to play in influencing the future energy roadmap. It’s a relevant component for all topics we’ll discuss during Powering Progress Together as we break into two tracks: the first focused on future Infrastructure for the Mobility Revolution, which will tackle the intersection of increased electrification as an essential future fuel for personal mobility, and the second track focused on the opportunities and challenges of delivering Cleaner Energy for Everyone. One of the greatest challenges facing the world today is how to produce more energy while lowering carbon emissions. Building a sustainable energy future is an enormously complex challenge. We expect demand for energy to continue to rise as populations and prosperity increase. The world will need all energy sources to meet that rising demand. The focus should be on affordable ways to secure supply while addressing climate change and air pollution. That means making a major shift from coal to cleaner-burning gas in the production of electricity, something that is already helping lower emissions. Gas also makes an ideal partner for renewable energy because gas power plants can be fired up quickly – literally within minutes – when the sun sets, or the wind doesn’t blow. Replacing a coal-fired plant with a gas-fired plant and carbon capture and storage (CCS), for example, can cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by up to 90%. CCS is one of the only technologies that can significantly reduce carbon emissions from industrial sectors of the economy. Shell is involved in several CCS projects around the world, and launched the Quest CCS facility in Alberta, Canada in November 2015. In the longer term, renewable energy sources will become increasingly crucial for providing the world the lower-carbon energy it needs. But one of the biggest challenges facing the world as it moves towards using more renewable energy is not so much the source of energy, but how you store that energy. Solar and wind power, for example, are often in the wrong place at the wrong time to power homes and businesses. At the moment, the world doesn’t have the right technology to meet that challenge. So in
