World Energy Council

🌐 The history of the World Energy Congress is intrinsically tied with the pivotal global shifts of the last century, with many famous faces and household names appearing as attendees and speakers. The second World Power Conference, for example, convened a particularly notable set of speakers in 1930s Berlin, including theoretical physicist and widely influential scientist Albert Einstein. Alongside Einstein was Sir Arthur Eddington, a British astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who stated that in the future, “subatomic energy would provide the plain diet for engines previously pampered with delicacies like coal and oil”. Over 40 years later, the 9th World Energy Conference in Detroit was attended by 4,000 delegates from 69 countries, including the 38th president of the United States, President Gerald Ford. And the 12th Conference in New Delhi in 1983 was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who defended the right of developing nations to implement their own nuclear programmes for domestic power policies. 👉 Sign up for the World Energy Congress 2026 in Riyadh and make history again: https://lnkd.in/ePpbE_qT #WorldEnergyCongress #energytransition #cleanenergy #renewables #energysystems

Meet the technology company encouraging some of the biggest consumers of fossil fuels to swap to using modular green hydrogen units as part of their strategy to significantly decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors. Ohmium, a leading green hydrogen company, has been developing green hydrogen solutions in Bengaluru, India that are being used across the board. From powering industrial manufacturing, to harnessing the potential of solar energy stores at night, to even fuelling domestic cooking stoves, Ohmium’s green hydrogen units have been specifically designed in response to the energy demands and challenges of the city.

What keeps energy leaders across the world awake at night and busy during the day? 🌐 The 2024 edition of our World Energy Issues Monitor provides an in-depth and timely look at the issues that energy leaders across the globe are grappling with. 💡 Based on input from nearly 1,800 energy leaders in over 100 countries, this year’s report highlights how fears of a fragmented energy leadership landscape have led to increased uncertainty across almost all the issues assessed. 👉 Read here: https://lnkd.in/eHTU_Wvx #WorldEnergyIssuesMonitor #RedesigningEnergy #WEC2024 #energytransitions #energysolutions

Visionary energy leader, former President and CEO of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), and the World Energy Council's Chair, Impact, Naomi Hirose will be delivering the keynote address at next month's #SustainAsia Week 2024. 👉 Register for the event here: https://lnkd.in/gG_58t7A #SustainAsiaWeek #energytransition #sustainableenergy #cleanenergy #energyleadership

Evergen are at the forefront of providing smart technology and software to ensure we all can better manage our energy usage and demands. The future of energy usage is increasingly decentralised, with consumers and customers requiring more localised energy systems today than they needed in the past. As the supply of renewable energy increases, Evergen helps support smarter homes and communities to best harness the benefits of clean energy transitions.

Since its founding, the World Energy Council has convened leadership conversations across the entire energy ecosystem. Rather than limit dialogue to traditional energy sectors, the Council has operated on the principle that far-reaching and impactful energy solutions necessitate equally far-reaching collaborations across the entire energy spectrum. It was this vision - a holistic, interconnected and truly international organisation that stood beyond national and regional politics – that inspired Daniel Nicol Dunlop to go beyond creating a purely technical institution in 1923. As he later told a friend: “I always had in mind the idea of enlarging this body of engineers to a body of experts of all branches of industry and agriculture.” The emphasis on convening truly global expertise continues to empower the Council’s mission and vision. A century after Dunlop planted his initial seed, the Council has blossomed into a vibrant community of more than 3000 energy leaders with a presence across 100 nations. Together, we continue to work towards advancing clean and inclusive energy transitions for all by convening diverse and visionary leaders from every walk of life. For how can we look towards redesigning a new and truly global energy system for all if we do not listen and learn from each other? #energyleadership #energytransition #renewables #cleanenergy #sustainability

🌍💡California’s weather patterns mean that relying on solar panels and the grid isn’t always a viable option for the supply of renewable energy. Currently half of the state’s methane emissions are produced by diary and livestock farms. But what would happen if the waste products could be utilised as a potential power source? Meet the dairy farm looking to their cows for a somewhat smelly power alternative. 🎬 This short film is part of Series 2 of “Humanising Energy”, produced for us by BBC StoryWorks to showcase innovation across the energy ecosystem and spotlight the people who are responding to climate change by spearheading solutions to the problems impacting their communities. This film features Bloom Energy, an American public company which manufactures solid oxide fuel cells to produce electricity on-site and debuted its groundbreaking diary biogas-to-fuel cell projects in 2021. 👉 Watch the full episode, and check out the rest of the series, here: https://lnkd.in/ef6A3xY3 #HumanisingEnergy #energytransition #renewables #cleanenergy #sustainability

🌍 Urgent action is required to redesign the world's energy systems to advance clean and inclusive energy transitions. But what does progress look like in a radically changing energy landscape? How do we ensure we stay on track and are able to navigate the multiple energy transitions pathways emerging globally? The World Energy Trilemma Framework was developed by our community nearly 20 years ago to do just this by tracking country performance against three critical dimensions: energy security, affordability and sustainability. The Trilemma is evolving now to best reflect contemporary energy systems and the challenges we all face. This is at the heart of our upcoming 2024 World Energy Trilemma Report, which will shape the conversation around facilitating energy transitions up to the 27th World Energy Congress in Riyadh, 26-29 October 2026. 👉 Read the 2024 World Energy Trilemma Report here: https://lnkd.in/en8SGYWS #WorldEnergyTrilemma #energytransition #cleanenergy #energysystems #renewables
