YP ENERGY DEBATE

Wednesday 24th November | Day 2 (12.45-13:45)

Will Energy Companies Investing in Renewables be Successful?

Throughout the pandemic, conversations around the role Oil and Gas Companies will play in achieving international net zero targets have been escalating almost uncontrollably. In this years’ Energy Debate, we dsicussed ‘Will energy companies investing in renewables be successful?’

In this highly anticipated discussion, we looked to define firstly what success looks like. Is success financial, regulatory emissions target or consumer perception driven? We explored, through our experienced panellists, how and if this success is achievable and if success will be measured differently on local and international scales. How do we ensure that accountability for emissions reduction and climate change mitigation is appropriately shared by individuals, companies, and governments?

We were joined by: Mark Ireland (Lecturer in Energy Geosciences, Newcastle University), David Linden (Head of Energy Transition, Westwood Global Energy Group), Francesca Bell (Senior Investor Relations Adviser, OGUK) and Cameron Brown (Environment & Carbon Lead, Shell).
