KAPSARC is an affiliate partner of this year’s CERAWeek and is committed to helping shape a more sustainable future for the global energy sector through its research initiatives and public engagement. It has been spearheading the circular carbon economy framework, an international policy prescription for a pragmatic and inclusive energy transition through managing and reducing emissions.

“We welcome the participation of KAPSARC, with its broad commitment to research program on global energy issues, at CERAWeek 2023,” said Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman, S&P Global and CERAWeek conference chair. 

KAPSARC will be represented at CERAWeek by its President, Fahad Alajlan, who will be speaking on an executive conference panel titled “Can this Energy Transition Be a Revolution?” on 8 March at 3:15 p.m. Central Time (CT). The panel will explore the future of the energy transition in a global context and discuss how different countries can respond to climate challenges.

Adam Sieminski, KAPSARC’s Senior Advisor to the Board, will participate on a panel with other esteemed leaders to discuss “Why the Hydrogen Rainbow Is a Useless Metric” on 6 March at 4:30 p.m. CT.

The panel will discuss the reliability of greenhouse gas emission estimates, particularly around fugitive methane emissions.
