Open Lecture: Energy System Resilience in the Age of Decarbonization
In an era marked by global decarbonization, the issue of energy systems' resilience and their ability to maintain security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness is becoming increasingly relevant.
The global energy transition is driving major investments in renewable technologies, energy storage, and grid modernization. However, technical and economic challenges remain in creating a sustainable, secure, and affordable energy system. This presentation explores the balance between energy security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Fossil fuels combined with low-carbon technologies may continue to play a regional role. A mix of renewables, dispatchable fossil energy, CCUS, and emerging fuels is needed to align climate goals with grid stability.
Speaker Ian D. Gates, professor and innovation leader at the University of Calgary, shares insights from his research and entrepreneurship in sustainable energy.
