DRIVING REALISTIC DECARBONISATION TARGETS BY 2030
The global energy mix is rapidly shifting from fossil fuels to, cleaner zero-carbon sources. As the energy transition gains momentum, governments and industrial sectors are working hard to decarbonise their economies, leading to the formation of new ecosystems and the emergence of innovative climate solutions.
These developments are helping to increase the adoption of renewables to fulfil power needs, develop low carbon fuels, improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and create new markets for CCUS deployment and digital technologies. At the same time, many of these commonly pursued steps towards decarbonisation, such as increased electrification, natural gas utilisation and widespread use of solar, wind, ammonia and hydrogen pose unique challenges which makes the journey to net-zero more complex.
The EGYPES 2025 Sustainability in Energy Conference brings together energy thought leaders to discuss practical strategies for achieving realistic climate targets by 2030 and developing a feasible roadmap to net-zero using an array of decarbonisation levers.
