Energy Transition | Here Comes the Sun!

Michael Trousdell, Associate Director at Arup talks about the Energy Transition. He dispels myths about what is happening in our global energy system referencing the latest thinking from people such as Oxford professor Dieter Helm who recently published Burn Out: the end game of fossil fuels.
This macro level energy thinking relates to how we should design
buildings in future. Suggesting that electrification of heating and other systems is the right answer for most locations and buildings, with some notable exceptions.
The question is which Fossil Fuels can support the transition? Michael presents a perspective on how to assess the relative impact of all the types of energy, with some surprising results that go against the headline grabbing news.
Michael thinks that electric only solutions for buildings and transport, would happen if the politicians managed to establish a global carbon tax and with Trump like politics at the fore we cannot afford to wait for a political agreement.
