CERAWeek 2024: Key Themes Shaping the Energy Future It's clear the conversation around the energy transition is becoming increasingly nuanced. From my perspective, a few key themes stood out: 🤜🤛Bridging the Gap: A central theme was the delicate balance between meeting current energy demands and laying the groundwork for a clean energy future. Discussions focused on innovative solutions that bridge this gap, ensuring energy security and affordability while accelerating the transition to net zero. As Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy said at CERAWeek, "Ultimately, we have two clear goals: First, meet the needs of today, keep the lights on. And second, move quickly and intentionally toward the realities of tomorrow." 🗡️The AI double-edged sword: Artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as a hot topic at CERAWeek 2024. From optimizing grids to forecasting renewables, AI can unlock new levels of efficiency and sustainability. However, challenges around data security and ethical considerations also need to be addressed, and AI also raises the issue of how much energy is needed to run the AI systems. 🌏 Geopolitical Realities: Recent events have highlighted the need for resilient energy systems. Diversification and collaboration are key, and there is a strong need for resilient and adaptable energy systems. Singapore's commitment to clean energy is strong. 🇸🇬 We're fostering innovation, building new supply chains, and partnering companies leading the transition. Thinking of joining the movement? Singapore offers a launchpad for a sustainable energy future. Let's connect and discuss how we can collaborate! For those in Houston, my capable colleague Kristie Lai is on the ground there and would be happy to connect. #CERAWeek #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Singapore #AI

Every time I come across one of these energy system flows visualisations, it acts as a reminder of what can be achieved. Back in 2005, the University of Cambridge found that only 11%, of the 475 EJ of primary energy consumed globally, was used efficiently. Today, we consume nearly 30% more energy, but our efficiency has barely improved. There is no doubt that the energy system of the future is going to be decentralized, flexible, and renewable. The only question is how fast we can pull that off. Personally, I believe there is only one way to accelerate the transition and avoid catastrophe: harnessing exponential technologies like AI.
