Session 2: Securing Energy in an Era of Uncertainty

14:00 - 15:15

The concept of energy security has evolved with changing global dynamics. While technology has unlocked new energy sources such as unconventional gas and made renewables more commercially viable, this session prompts us to re-think energy security in terms of energy choices, what is driving changes in the energy landscape and what the impact would be on future energy markets.

Is there a global oil and gas glut? What is the impact of the surge in production of unconventional oil & gas on global energy markets?
How would the volatility of oil prices affect the global energy balance in terms of fossil fuels, renewable energy and nuclear energy options?
How can we respond to potential supply disruptions to ensure global energy security and the stability of global energy markets?
