The CSIS Energy & National Security Program is pleased to welcome Sverre Alvik to discuss DNV GL's Energy Transition Outlook 2019. DNV GL recently issued the third edition of its Energy Transition Outlook, which provides a “best estimate forecast” indicating a rapid transition in global and regional energy systems towards a 2.5° future. Sverre Alvik will discuss the underlying assumptions of the study and the rapid transition that is predicted over the next three decades, including a particular focus on North America. More specifically, he will discuss the forecasted penetration of electric vehicles and changes in oil demand, the prospects for renewable energy and electrification, as well as the outlook for technologies like hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). DNV GL provides risk management and quality assurance services in the oil and gas, power and renewables, and maritime industries. This event is made possible by general support to CSIS and the CSIS Energy & National Security Program.
