Over the next couple of months, we’ll host a number of guests talking about their perspective on the energy and inflation crisis and its impact on decarbonisation and energy transition plans. In this first conversation on the issue, Ben Moens from Engie Impact joins and explores the impact of the energy crisis on industrials.

The discussion explores how alternative fuels (including a return to more fossil fuels in the short term) could play out, the potential for high gas prices to drive market reforms and how regulatory responses might bring some relief in the short term too.

The conversation also looks the growing sense amongst many industrials that the key to future success will be to increase self-sufficiency with more onsite/offsite renewables and smarter energy efficiency plans.

And finally, you’ll hear some thoughts on whether the crisis will affect investments in expensive deep decarbonisation plans like green hydrogen or CCS.

Quite simply – this is a great episode for those leading decarb and energy transition plans who want good insights to make their response truly robust.
