4:40PM | Sustainable Commodities: Where Net-Zero Meets the Supercycle
89% of global CO2 emissions are now covered by countries with net-zero targets or ambitions. Many in capital markets are shying away from investing in firms or fuels seen non-complaint to these targets. Others say that a ‘crisis of molecules’ has emerged due to years of under investment in most commodities, stoking inflation and a possible global recession. Join us to hear about BNEF’s views on achieving the balance in allocating capital between commodities that sit on either side of the net-zero argument.

As decarbonization becomes a central theme for the US oil and gas industry, so to do opportunities for creating effective and mutually beneficial partnerships. The Williams-Context Labs-Encino-Satlantis tie up uses Decarbonization-as-a-Service to make a significant and timely impact in reducing methane emissions for one of the largest handlers of natural gas. But how did this partnership come to be? What were the biggest challenges it faced thus far? What was the role of technology in bringing this partnership together? Can similar pacts originate for other forms of decarbonization in the commodity spectrum?

6:00PM | Fireside Chat: Yesterday’s Solutions and Tomorrow’s Problems
The global energy system is in the midst a profound reorganization, driven by supply and demand, supply chain pressures, emissions targets, and the efforts to reach net zero emissions by mid-century. That requires building today for impact tomorrow, and it involves choices and priorities at the national and system level. In every energy sector transformation in history, positive decisions made in one era become negative outcomes in another era. How can building in today’s energy system best prepare us for tomorrow – and break out of the pattern of yesterday’s solutions becoming tomorrow’s
