Solar, Finance & Investment Europe 2023

United Scientific Group (USG) a non-profit scientific organization proudly announcing the First International Conference on NextGen Solar scheduled on October 30-31, 2023 in San Francisco, CA, USA and excitedly welcome members from all over the world.

This year, the conference will focus on a future where high levels of wind energy deployment meet the needs of a grid dominated by renewable energy and feature the latest research to integrate wind energy with solar power, energy storage, and other energy sources into the complex and highly interdependent energy system of the future. The event will also address the social and environmental issues at the core of such an expansion and include the "grand challenges" of wind energy. Subscribe to get conference updates.

Schreiner Parker, SVP and Head of Latin America at Rystad Energy, will deliver the Keynote Address at the Expo Internacional de Energia Mexico, hosted by the Oil & Gas Magazine (Mexico)m on 15 November 2023, at the Bel Air Unique CDMX.

Corporate leaders face mounting pressure from investors, customers and regulators to decarbonise operations, assets and infrastructure. However, progress is slow; according to the Infrastructure Transition Monitor research, commissioned by Siemens and conducted by FT Longitude, only 30% of companies globally (out of 1,400 surveyed) reported significant advances in decarbonisation or electrification of core processes, and just 37% cited improvements in the energy efficiency of their buildings and facilities. Given that buildings alone contribute nearly 40% of energy-related carbon emissions, there is a large gap to be filled on the road to net zero. Economic crises and budget constraints, as well as a lack of standardisation and alignment on priorities, are challenging efforts to bring about swift and meaningful change. Innovation and collaboration are required to accelerate electrification and to ensure that infrastructure across grids, buildings and transportation is efficient and resilient enough to meet sustainable goals. This reception and panel on Accelerating the Transition to Sustainable Infrastructure, hosted by the Financial Times, in partnership with Siemens, will bring together leaders who are working to bridge gaps in decarbonisation. The discussion will consider the technologies, cooperation and alignment needed on the path to net zero to advance efficiency gains and speed up electrification across corporate and industrial infrastructure.
