Inflation. Climate change. Geopolitical conflict. Energy security. Dramatic developments have left no country untouched and are causing a rethink of energy security in the transition to net zero.

The federal government has laid out an ambitious roadmap to get Canada to its climate targets. However, energy transition will last for decades and consensus on what the country’s energy future should look like has proven elusive. Adding to the complexity, there are many competing technologies in the race to net zero and the mix of energy types that will get us there remains unclear.

Canada is uniquely positioned to be a global leader in transforming energy systems and potentially, as a global supplier of choice for energy security. However, overhauling the country’s energy infrastructure in a relatively short amount of time represents an unprecedented technical challenge that will cost trillions of dollars.

At the 18th annual Calgary Energy Roundtable on Thursday, May 18th, a high-powered line-up of speakers will share their insights on these topics and how they are affecting the evolution of the Canadian energy sector and its role in the country’s, and the world’s, energy future.

Topics will include:

• The Energy Outlook

• Investor perspectives on Canadian energy

• Company energy transition: internal and external drivers 

• Commercially ready technologies

• Canada as a global energy supplier of choice

• The energy sector’s impact on the broader economy

• First Nations ownership of resource projects 

• Decarbonizing production and electrifying industry
