Industry leaders outline a path toward clean energy for a more sustainable future. This highly informative DLD25, moderated by Azeem Azhar (Exponential View), brings together Vera Pinto Pereira (EDP Group), Bob Mumgaard (Commonwealth Fusion Systems), and Vijay Vaitheeswaran (The Economist) to discuss the promise of transforming our energy systems through solar power and fusion technology.
“It really is time not for the energy transition, but it’s time for an energy revolution”, Vera Pinto Pereira argues. “We need a world that is powered by clean energy.”
She highlights the importance of solar energy, which is 96% less carbon-intensive than other technologies, and notes that it is forecasted to account for 80% of all global renewable capacity growth between now and 2030.
“Distributed solar generation will account for at least 50% of all of this capacity coming into the market”, Pinto Pereira says. She encourages individuals to take small steps towards the energy transition by adopting solar energy, empowering families to participate in green energy and protecting them from market price volatility.
Bob Mumgaard highlights the promise of bringing fusion technology to energy markets within the next decade. The projected growth of global energy global demand represents an enormous business opportunity, he says. “The businesses that solve this problem will be the largest businesses that humans have created.”
