    Nuclear energy poised for its global moment

    In the next episode of the Energy Connects Podcast, host Chiranjib Sengupta sits down with Dr. Sama Bilbao y Leon, Director General of the World Nuclear Association, to delve into the significant opportunities nuclear energy presents for decarbonising the industry. During this extensive conversation, they cover a range of topics including the World Nuclear Association's Net Zero Nuclear initiative, which was launched at COP28 with the goal to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050. They discuss how the nuclear industry is addressing its clean-energy perception, noting its position as the second-largest source of low-carbon electricity worldwide. The discussion also highlights nuclear energy’s pivotal role in decarbonising sectors that are difficult to abate, like metallurgy, petrochemicals, and the oil & gas industry. Additionally, they explore the anticipated demand for nuclear energy in the coming years amid its global resurgence, the industry’s approach to overcoming regulatory and financing challenges, and Dr. Sama's insights on cultivating future leaders in the global nuclear field as the President of the World Nuclear University.

    Why energy executives expect the world to hit net zero by 2060

    In the next episode of the Energy Connects podcast, Chiranjib Sengupta speaks to Grant Dougans, Partner and Lead of Energy and Natural Resources at Bain & Company, to discuss whether confidence in the world’s ability to achieve net zero by 2050 is eroding. Grant explains why an increasing number of global energy executives feel that net zero by 2060 is a more accurate reflection of the current realities of the energy transition, as published in Bain’s annual Energy & Natural Resource Executive Survey. He touches on the recognition by the industry of the scale of infrastructure needed for the energy transition to succeed, the shift in capital spending patterns for long-term projects, and why ROI is emerging as a stumbling block for investments in clean energy. They also talk about energy transition being all about project economics, how policy certainty is critical for all stakeholders to pick up pace on the transition, and why energy efficiency matters in the global landscape for green energy investments.
