FROM VULNERABILITY TO SOVEREIGNTY:
SCALING LOCAL ENERGY FOR EUROPE´S SECURITY
Julien Moulin, Chariman, Française de l’Énergie (FDE)
Europe is discovering a hard truth: energy dependence is a national-security risk. But when supply routes are weaponised and price volatility becomes structural, can local energy production become a risk-management and competitiveness strategy?
BEYOND THE NOISE:
TURNING CLIMATE AMBITION INTO ACTION
Per Magne Ludvigsen, Author & Investor
A clear-eyed look at what the green transition truly requires from the author behind the book “Between the Oil & the Future”: How must we transform energy systems to meet fast approaching climate goals and move from debate to action?
MARKET OUTLOOK:
DEVELOP, EXPORT & SCALE
Reber Iversen, Policy & Project Manager, Maritime CleanTech
What´s the quickest route from a great idea to the global markets? Maritime CleanTech and Innovation Norway have deep-dived into the maritime sector with support from DNV and Menon Economics and are ready to present new and cutting edge insights
NUCLEAR MARINE PROPULSION – THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR SAFE & SUSTAINABLE GREEN SHIPPING?
Dr. Spyros Hirdaris, Manager, ABS Global Ship Systems Centre
Can we position nuclear-powered vessels as a cornerstone of 2050 decarbonization goals? The American Bureau of Shipping shares an update on the availability of nuclear fuels, the landscape of modern reactors, and the evolving safety and regulations framework.
