25.08 - Welcome to the Bellona ONS seminar 2008
How to combat global warming –is there a role for the oil and gas industry in the future of energy? Stavanger, Monday Aug 25th at 16:00.
According to the IEA, “a global revolution is needed in ways that energy is supplied and used.”
- How should the oil and gas industry respond to the tremendous challenge global warming poses?
- What business opportunities does combating global warming present?
- What is the best strategy for investing in the future of energy?
These are the questions we will be exploring at this year’s Bellona ONS seminar.
Henriette Westhrin, State secretary of finance presents the Norwegian perspective on the role of sovereign wealth funds in financing a clean energy future. Our distinguished guest speakers, Anthony White and Lois Quam, will share their understanding of the future of energy markets and how combating global warming presents exciting opportunities for investment. And we will present our recently published Bellona report “How to combat global warming” and our vision for the zero emission society.
There will be a dinner reception following the seminar.
