About this event
What would it take for electricity to meet 35 percent of global final energy demand by 2035? Devrim Celal of Kraken Technologies and Robert Metcalfe of the Centre for Net Zero join moderator Gernot Wagner to examine the infrastructure, policy and practical changes needed to electrify transport, buildings and industry. This Columbia Business School Climate Week conversation considers how faster electrification could reduce emissions and exposure to fossil-fuel price shocks.
