Navigating Energy Transition Amid Geopolitical Turmoil
The pace of change in international energy markets has been unprecedented, requiring new business paradigms and agile strategies. Amy Myers Jaffe helps unpack how the war in Ukraine influenced the commercial competitiveness of different kinds of fuels, and the role governments and innovators alike now play in determining primary energy commodity winners for the electricity, transportation, and industrial sectors around the world.
U.S. Energy Policy and Its Global Implications
During the Biden years, the United States passed major legislation to restore its flagging manufacturing sector and propel the clean energy economy. But the U.S. now ranks as the world’s top producer of oil and gas and a major exporter of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas (LNG). In this presentation, Amy Myers Jaffe discusses what recent U.SS industrial policy will mean for global markets and international economic competition among major economies and what to expect from U.S. policymakers going forward.
The Energy Future: Artificial Intelligence and Energy
Artificial intelligence and deep learning systems are revolutionizing the energy industry, presenting amazing opportunities, but also new challenges. AI can enable energy-efficient buildings and smart devices, transform energy supply reliability via preventative maintenance, and optimize supply chain logistics and automated vehicles in ways that will greatly reduce fuel consumption. On the flip side, however, the rising data processing needs to train AI and operate all our smart devices and AI search engine services are driving higher energy usage and with it, potentially rising environmental impacts. Amy Myers Jaffe breaks down what AI is going to mean for the energy system of the future and how to avoid a conflict between AI supremacy, energy security, and environmental progress.
