About the on-demand webinar:
Wood Mackenzie is pleased to announce it's partnership with Africa Oil Week in 2020.
In the first of a series of partnership webinars, our experts looked at one of the most discussed global topics, the Energy Transition.
As Africa's energy production transitions away from the more traditional hydrocarbons-focused model; what will be the impact on Africa's oil and gas markets and, more importantly, is Africa ready to take advantage of the continent's widely predicted renewables boom?
Within Sub-Saharan Africa, the big seven IOCs alone account for 70% of all production but face increasing pressure from shareholders to reduce carbon emissions. What opportunities does this present low or zero-carbon technologies?
The webinar features input from a variety of industry experts, and cover the following key topics:
• Examining the impact of COVID-19 on the rate of the Energy Transition globally
• Energy Transition trends across Africa
• The impact of global electrification and low carbon fuels on both export and domestic markets
• Examples of global best practice which can be transferred to an African context
• Rates of investment into renewable and low carbon infrastructure and technology
• The technologies being used to decarbonise operations and projects
