TOTAL-HEC Paris Chair in Energy & Management has the pleasure to invite Alumnis to join at Roland Garros  on 7 June 2018 at the HEC Pavillion for a conference.

The Impact of the Energy Transition on Fossil Fuel Demand 
The Energy Transition is facing the challenge of meeting increasing energy demand whilst reducing energy-related carbon emissions at the same time. With the Paris Accords of November 2015, now signed and ratified by most countries, the world is on a course towards a continued decarbonisation process of the global energy mix. Most of the increase in energy demand is to be met by zero-carbon or low-carbon energy sources, including natural gas, renewables or nuclear. On the other hand, strong government measures and financial incentives will also push for energy efficiency and reducing fossil-fuel use. Oil demand is anticipated to grow by a modest 11% by 2040 from today’s level.
Our roundtable will examine the extent to which the business model of the oil & gas, or hydrocarbon, industry will be affected by the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Topics to be addressed will include:
  • What will be the impact of  sluggish oil demand on high-cost oil producing countries and their ability to finance their economy? Are they going to be squeezed out of the market? 
  • How will global oil demand be impacted by the penetration of Electric Vehicles? Will we see Oil & Gas companies changing their business model radically and moving to recharging station for batteries? 
  • Is coal finally exiting the global energy mix, or is there a future for the coal industry worldwide?
  • In a context of (still) low oil prices and low electricity prices, many infrastructure projects are no longer needed: which ones will be left stranded?
The conference will be moderated by Professor Jean-Michel Gauthier.
The confirmed speakers on the panel so far are:
  • Pierre-Etienne Franc,  VP Hydrogen Energy, Air Liquide 
  • Patrick Romeo, Romeo Conseil, ex GM Shell France 
  • Sylvie Saulnier, Executive VP Economics and Management at IFP Training 
The conference will be followed by a cocktail.

Please note that you will receive a ticket to watch tennis on an annexe tennis court which is valid for the day.  You may arrive as of 11:00 am. We do hope you will be able to join us for the conference and look forward to hearing from you soon!
Places are limited.
Kind regards,
