PANEL #1: EU and national legislative challenges & opportunities for the Energy Sector

Sustainable climate change mitigation and resource scarcity have become a light motif in the drafting of both national and European legislation. This aspect triggers difficulties in adapting business models but, at the same time, offers multiple development platforms for the energy sector. We aim to take stock of the challenges and opportunities the applicable legislative framework poses.

PANEL #2: The potential of natural gas production, its role in energy transition and future challenges

The regional dimension makes this “bridge fuel” so much more than a substitute for coal. Natural gas will be at the heart of the debates taking into consideration the fact that the energy services delivered by gas are difficult to replicate, especially in the context of the security of supply. Nevertheless, for the longer term, the industry also has the challenging task to explore the possibilities to further reduce the emissions-intensity of gas supply.
