In 2020, the EPRI Project Set 201-E (Global Policy and Market Analysis – Global Drivers, Risks, and Opportunities Shaping the Domestic Power Sector) curated for the first time a series of webcasts showcasing talks by external experts on frontier science, technology, and policy topics. The webcasts, which were exclusive to P201-E’s 2020 set of advisors, delved into issues that were selected based on a survey of advisor interests early in 2020:
- Webcast #1: Perspectives from Shell on the Future of Global Energy
- Webcast #2: Global technology diffusion trends and implications
- Webcast #3: Natural Climate Solutions for global and electric sector decarbonization
This document is a synthesis of the main insights and take-aways from the webcasts. It summarizes the presenters’ remarks and does not offer EPRI’s views on the various issues. Complementing this written synthesis are recordings of the webcasts themselves. Weblinks are provided and these webcasts can be viewed by P201-E advisors and colleagues at their organizations.
