Panel: Future of Seaborne Traded Energy Commodities
3:15 p.m.
The global transition to net-zero will see a fundamental shift in the energy commodities that are produced, shipped, and consumed. Will coal, oil, and natural gas which currently provide 80% of global energy be substituted by clean carriers like hydrogen? How will we supply the huge demand for energy transition materials like copper, lithium, rare earths, and nickel, and who will be the energy superpowers in 2050?
