WEN Chicago and GTI Present: Managing Carbon, Growing Economies (Online)

Managing Carbon, Growing Economies:

Transitions to Low-Cost, Low-Carbon Energy Systems
Leveraging Gases, Fuels, and Infrastructure

Concerns about global warming are rising, and our world faces dual imperatives to both decarbonize energy systems AND supply the energy needed to support economic growth globally. Gases, fuels, and infrastructure will serve important roles in the transition to low-carbon, low-cost energy systems now to mid-century.

Join us as we hear from GTI and other industry leaders about how these resources can be leveraged to transform energy systems safely, reliably, affordably, and with deliberate speed across the economy.

Dr. Paula Gant, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at GTI will kick off the event with a broad perspective on the state of the energy industry and share her insights on pathways to the future.
