More than 7,000 have come to Houston for this year's CERAWeek, by S&P Global, where the conversation is trying to balance traditional energy sources with new technologies.
While talk of 'energy transition' continues, fossil fuels remain a large focus of a conference that has drawn thousands to Houston, this week. More than 7,000 people have come for this year's CERAWeek, by S&P Global, to grapple with how to move forward with the world's energy needs, while balancing traditional energy sources with new technologies.
"What it really means is finding solutions that aren't 'either, or', but as 'either, and'; pulling together," says CERAWeek founder James Rosenfield. "We're seeing that Houston, really, embodies this." More than 200 energy transition startups, many from Houston, are also here to fuel the discussion. However, while there is a vision of a future that relies less on fossil fuels, cannot happen without them.
"This industry should not only explain the necessity of their existence, but also all the ways that they are contributing to people's daily lives," says Houston energy consultant Joe Brettell. "A lot of times, without folks even knowing it." However, with President Joe Biden's Clean Energy Implementation Advisor, John Podesta, a keynote speaker for CERAWeek's first day, the addition of alternative energy sources will come.
