Please join the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. for a lively conversation on the future of energy and the role of innovation and new technologies.
 
In the year 2018, the world has never burned more fossil fuels, yet the world has never produced as much energy from renewable sources. The future, however, cannot be business as usual. To avoid catastrophic climate change, the global energy system must decarbonize more rapidly than any energy transition of the past. Should such a transition take place, what are the technologies, business models, and hidden stories that rise up in coming years? 
 
The discussion will feature three leading minds to shine a light on these future trends. Steve LeVine, a veteran journalist of geopolitics and energy and whose most recent book The Powerhouse is a deep dive into the race to build a super battery; Akshat Rathi, whose award-winning series The Race to Zero Emissions masterfully deconstructs the energy technologies our futures need; and Amy Harder, whose weekly column "Harder Line" reports trends, scoops, and news driving the energy and climate debate, will explore future scenarios for the energy sector.

Lunch will be served.
