摘要

The energy industry has trapped itself with binary dialogue about being for one type of technology or another,when all resources need to work together to achieve energy transition goals,Tinker Energy Associates CEO Scott Tinker said March 22.The energy transition is not just about one technology,but rather a suite of technologies,panelists said at the CERAWeek by SP Global energy conference in Houston.”What is nice about renewables and new technology is they’re much more democratically distributed around the world,”said Andres Gluski,AES Corporation president and CEO.”The reality is a little bit more complicated.But I also think it’s not rocket science.”However,the industry has to be careful about status quo because things are changing rapidly,Gluski added.”In the power industry,we’re seeing once in a 100-year events,like floods and heatwaves,etc.,occur every year.,”Gluski said.”The weather has changed.That’s the reality.”Industry leaders need to look at how to deliver the electricity with the lowest carbon and in most sustainable way possible,he added.
