An Energy Transition Roadmap to Net Zero

A comprehensive and resilient US strategy to reach net zero emissions by 2050 must build on the foundation of market principles, accelerate innovation, and preserve US competitiveness in the global economy. To ensure success, government leaders must work in close partnership—not in conflict—with business leaders. Every sector, every company and every nation, particularly those that are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHG), have a very important role in addressing climate change; none can do it alone, particularly given the global scope of the problem and the urgency of the task.

By attending this webcast, you will learn:

  • The impact of the climate incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
  • The possibility for new technologies that will lower GHG emissions and the need to encourage innovation in new technologies to meet climate goals
  • How government and the private sector can and must collaborate on policy options to reach net zero, including carbon capture and storage, carbon pricing, and greater use of nuclear power and hydrogen
  • Risks to mitigate in reaching net zero, including adopting smart regulation strategies that promote innovation without imposing excessive costs
  • Measuring sustainability in the energy transition
