In a world grappling with multiple concurrent crises, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability offers a beacon of hope; AI is already contributing to the resolution of some of the most intractable problems of our time, from tackling climate change and pandemics to reducing poverty.
At the heart of ambitious energy goals are the people committed to making them happen. At SEforALL, our commitment to accelerating just and inclusive energy transitions takes many forms, but one of the most powerful has been the quiet strength of connections and partnerships. Over the past three months, Energy Compact stakeholders — from global utilities and start-ups to governments and NGOs — have participated in curated conversations powered by an AI matchmaking platform.
Join us for an engaging webinar on the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) Guidebook, a key resource designed to accelerate the transition to clean electricity systems worldwide. As climate challenges intensify, the need for around-the-clock carbon-free energy has never been more urgent. This session will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to explore the guidebook’s principles, share real-world applications, and discuss innovative strategies for achieving 24/7 CFE. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights, learn from case studies, and contribute to shaping the future of carbon-free energy.
