Transitioning to a Sustainable Future: Unpacking AFRY's Fossil Detox Report
When
Recent trends show that global emissions, particularly CO2, are still on the rise and have yet to reach their peak.
However, in line with net-zero ambitions for 2050, countries have committed to phasing out fossil fuels, a major focus of COP28. AFRY’s Fossil Detox Report outlines critical areas in the transition away from fossil fuels and fossil-based materials. It emphasises that this shift requires a coordinated effort from both governments and industries, balanced by social acceptance and consequent financing.
This webinar will explore the following:
- The pathway towards net zero of the energy system through the uptake of renewable and low-carbon energy sources, the crucial role of robust energy networks, and the need for advanced storage solutions.
- The role of natural gas as a transitional technology and address decarbonisation of the mobility and heating sectors, highlighting the pivotal role of low-carbon fuels like hydrogen.
- For hard-to-abate sectors, we will show how carbon capture and storage, and carbon removal are essential solutions, alongside continuous efforts to enhance energy efficiency and promote a circular economy.
The webinar will be opened by Henrik Tegnér, EVP and Head of Strategy & Sustainability at AFRY, who leads AFRY’s strategic work to accelerate the transition to a sustainable society. Fresh from COP29, Henrik will summarise some of the key takeaways while also delving into the thought process behind AFRY’s Fossil Detox Report.
Dr. Patrick Gasser, an experienced advisor and part of the editorial team behind AFRY’s Fossil Detox Report, will share his expertise on these vital topics. With a strong background in transactions, market analyses and strategy projects within the energy sector, he brings a comprehensive perspective on the key challenges and opportunities in the energy transition.
