OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Energy systems around the world are going through rapid transitions that affect many aspects of our lives. The continuation and acceleration of these shifts will bring important changes to the way we fuel our cars, heat our homes, and power our industries in the coming decades.
In this talk, Bram Smeets and Alexander Pfeiffer will present two of McKinsey’s proprietary energy scenarios – the Global Reference Case and a European Decarbonization Scenario. This Global Reference Case provides our consensus view on how energy demand will evolve over the coming three decades. The European Decarbonization Scenario provides an alternative trajectory under the assumption that the EU will meet its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The differences between the scenarios are stark and provide some insight into the changes required in all sectors to meet the Paris climate goals. We use these scenarios to help our clients across sectors to navigate the energy transition.
