💡 Our diverse community, operating over 100 countries, is critical to the Council's ability to convene energy leaders in collaborative and impactful dialogue. Three of our Member Committees from Germany, Belgium, and Slovenia, took part in the Energy Square Conference in May to discuss progressing decarbonisation in energy systems, as well as explore the EU's energy goals for 2040 and 2050. Thank you to our Slovenian Member Committee in the Energetska zbornica Slovenije (EZS) for organising this event, and for World Energy Council - Germany and the World Energy Council Belgium Member Committee for participating in a fruitful discussion. 👉 Find out more about the event here: https://lnkd.in/eu-q5fk9 #decarbonisation #energytransitions #energyleadership #sustainableenergy #energydialogue William D'haeseleer Carsten Rolle Ana Vucina Vrsnak
About us
The World Energy Council is the world's oldest independent and impartial community of energy leaders and practitioners. Through our Humanising Energy vision, we involve more people and communities in accelerating clean and just energy transitions in all world regions. Formed in 1923, the Council has convened diverse interests from across the full energy ecosystem for a century, and today has over 3,000 member organisations and a presence in nearly 100 countries. Our global network draws from governments, private and state corporations, academia and civil society, as well as current and future energy leaders. We effectively collaborate on impact programmes and inform local, regional and global energy agendas in support of our enduring mission: to promote the sustainable use and supply of energy for the benefit of all people. The Council convenes leadership dialogues including the World Energy Congress to enable new collaborations and drive impact; and provides a range of practical tools including the World Energy Trilemma Framework to define, support and better manage energy transitions.

The 26th World Energy Congress convened impactful and visionary leaders from across the energy ecosystem with an ambitious goal to redesign energy for people and planet. Read our post-event report below to get a glimpse of the key takeaways from a fruitful four days in Rotterdam that will help shape the world's energy systems for the next 100 years: #WorldEnergyCongress #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #WEC2024 #energysystems
World Energy Congress 2024 brought together leaders and doers from across the energy ecosystem, engaging across sectors, industries, technologies, and geographies with an ambitious goal to redesign energy for people and planet. The insightful discussions, leadership dialogues and diverse perspectives made it clear that managing successful global energy transitions is essential, not straightforward, and cannot be achieved by one nation or network alone.

🌍 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

🌐 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. 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. 👉 Watch the full episode and the rest of the series here: https://lnkd.in/esEVA_vK #HumanisingEnergy #greenhydrogen #decarbonization #energytransition #renewables

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
