Low-Carbon Energy: The Foundation of a Sustainable Future

In partnership with the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom

In the current geopolitically turbulent conditions, stopping climate change and dealing with energy market imbalances remains a global challenge. Low-carbon energy has the potential to create an ideal energy balance that makes eco-friendly electricity production compatible with price stability, secure power generation, and the sustainable use of exhaustible natural resources. Each region has its own path to clean energy, and the preferred energy mix is determined based on a particular country’s conditions and needs. In addition, many countries in the modern world have fundamentally different capabilities for implementing a full-scale energy transition due to differences in their socioeconomic status and access to modern technologies and innovations. Cooperation between countries, business, and society as a whole is crucial to a successful energy transition. Only by joining forces and exchanging technological solutions, scientific knowledge, and experience can we create the basis for a sustainable future, while preserving the planet and improving the quality of life here. How should cooperation be structured on a global scale to ensure a successful energy transition? Should we completely abandon traditional energy sources? How can we ensure the technological independence of the energy sector? What innovative solutions will ensure an effective energy transition?

Hydrocarbons in the Energy of the Future: Using Them Without Damaging the Climate

Carbon neutrality is a new goal of the global energy community. For decades, hydrocarbons have served as a reliable tool for the development of the global economy, however irreversible climate change is dictating the need to change our approach to the use of fossil fuels, which will entail significant growth in the market for low-carbon and clean energy sources. The novelty of these technologies is creating major uncertainty in the economic assessment of their usage, while the projected investment needed to implement the energy transition is beyond the capabilities of the world economy. For most developing nations, such investments would be impossible without external subsidies. The burgeoning energy transition must not run counter to the key goals of socioeconomic development or hinder the achievement of the seventh UN Sustainable Development Goal to ensure access to affordable energy for all. This contradiction means that the global community must ensure the creation and subsequent sustainable development of an eco-friendly and neutral fuel and energy industry without harming economic development. How can we find a balance between climate goals and the economy when structuring the fuel and energy industry? Are low-carbon technologies an effective tool for ensuring energy security? What prospects does Russia and the world have for the long-term development of the fuel and energy industry during the energy transition?
