OVERVIEW

Calling all energy sector professionals, supply chain community members, and future innovators – join us for an evening of networking and learning as we explore topics on innovation and Canada’s energy future.

Brought to you by CHOA and Supply Chain Canada, Future Innovators in Energy is a three-part series of networking events to connect industry professionals and students to discuss important topics about Canada’s energy future and the innovation happening in the sector. In March, prepare to learn and dive into an interactive discussion about Canada’s energy future. We are honoured to welcome Dr. B. Hayes to present on the topic of the 21st Century Energy Transition.

Keynote Presentation:

Energy is the cornerstone of all our activities and aspirations. It powers our communities, fuels innovation, and is essential for achieving a sustainable future. Recognizing the pivotal role of energy, the United Nations has identified affordable and clean energy (SDG#7) as a fundamental goal among its Sustainable Development Goals. This goal underpins the achievement of other critical objectives, such as ensuring access to food, water, and safeguarding human rights.

Today, fossil fuels contribute to over 80% of our global energy supply. This reliance on fossil fuels highlights the necessity for a gradual, informed transition towards a more diverse and sustainable energy mix. The transition, shaped by historical trends and practical considerations, is expected to unfold over the coming decades.

In navigating this transition, it is crucial to balance emissions reduction efforts with the imperative of energy security. Join us an evening of interactive discussions and learning as we look to the future and explore ideas to ensure the resilience and sustainability of our energy systems.

Who Should Attend:

  • Professionals working in or interested in working in Canada’s energy sector.
  • Supply Chain Professionals overseeing energy, energy utilization, and sustainability.
  • University and College students interested in energy, supply chain management, sustainability, technology, and innovation.
