"The 30 years of Group-IPS educational series" is a FREE full-year educational program of webinars, lectures, workshops, and roundtables led by our independent experts, who will cover topics such as global challenges, technological innovation, sustainability, diversity, the future of business, and manufacturing.
About the lecture
Our energy system is currently in a dire situation. On top of the requirements of the mitigation of Climate Change, we have an increasingly evident difficulty to increase the production of fossil fuels, due to geological and physical constraints. The transition to a new, different energy system is therefore a must.
However, the dominant model for this transition is seriously hampered by some hard physical and technical issues. In this talk, we will discuss in depth on all those topics, and we will review the do's and don'ts of the energy transition, and how this will affect manufacturing industry in the coming years.
What will you learn:
What is the current state of our energy system, and what are the challenges it faces?
Why is transitioning to a new energy system necessary?
What are the major physical and technical issues hampering the dominant model for the energy transition?
What will be discussed in-depth during the lecture regarding the physical and technical barriers?
How will different energy transition options be reviewed, and what factors will be considered?
What are the expected effects of the energy transition on the manufacturing industry in the coming years?
