Powering Net Zero
The Energy Institute’s new conference, Powering Net Zero, is designed to discuss ways in which clean electricity and electrification will be essential in reducing emissions globally to net zero.

EL LIVE Free Webinar | Maximising System Value of the Energy Transition
21 January 2021, 15:00 - 16:45 GMT
Registration closes at 17:00 GMT on 20 January 2021
The traditional focus on the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) can no longer be the sole driving criteria for decision making on solutions to accelerate economic growth and a clean energy transition. The system value framework, developed by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture, more holistically evaluates economic, environmental, social, and technical outcomes of potential energy solutions. The framework aims to shift political and commercial focus beyond cost to include value. Policies, investments, and solutions can be evaluated to assess their impact on the outcomes that the electricity system of the future should support.
To demonstrate the framework, analyses were carried out across multiple diverse markets across the globe. While recovery solution areas differ by market, the framework enabled a holistic comparison of solutions across all contexts. In this webinar, the speakers will share how the system value framework was used to propose clean energy solutions in India, Europe, and the United States that would deliver the most important outcomes - maximising the most important system value elements - for these markets.

Powering Net Zero 2021 Conference
An increasing number of countries are making commitments to move to a net zero emissions economy. This is in response to climate science showing that in order to prevent the worst impacts of manmade climate change, greenhouse gas emissions must be eliminated, as simply reducing them is no longer sufficient. ‘Net zero’ means that any emissions are balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere. In order to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting average global temperature increases to well below 2C, global greenhouse gas emissions must reach net zero sometime between 2050 and 2070.
Electricity and electrification are central to any scenario in which this goal is achieved. The technologies already exist to decarbonise power generation systems and roll out clean electricity into heat and transport – now companies must finalise their strategies to ensure it is reached.
Attend this timely event to:
- Hear from expert speakers excelling in this area
- Gain key insights into the policies, technologies and people needed to reach net zero
- Network with professionals from across the energy sector

Conference summary
The conference will take a global perspective on the range of technologies and the interplay between them. This includes renewable and nuclear power generation, CCUS, electric or fuel cell electric (hydrogen) vehicles, and for heating, the use of heat-pumps, hydrogen, energy efficiency and demand management technologies. Many medium pressure industrial processes can also be converted to use electric furnaces rather than gas.
