서울 기후 에너지 회의 2018

CESS 2018

OVERVIEW

New climate regime was launched with the Paris Agreement December 2015. To successfully implement the Agreement it’s necessary for the advanced and developing countries to make a common effort. And to promote the global transition to climate resilient and sustainable economies with low greenhouse gas emissions it’s essential to make a grand transition to renewable energies as well as to raise efficiency in electricity transaction mechanism.

Blockchain has been drawing a keen interest from the energy sector and distributed ledger technology could power the future of energy, industry and mobility. Blockchain technology, however, raises questions around use cases, technology readiness and business models as well.

Based on the previous year’s overall discussion on the Energy Transition Strategies in the New Climate Economy we will touch upon a more specific issue focusing on the blockchain and its impact on the energy community.

We also intends to introduce to the Korea’s energy and technology communities new strategic reports written by the prominent international institutions like International Energy Agency(IEA) and the World Energy Council(WEC) as well as industry’s studies of Siemens and Arup, EXERGY, and Navigant Research. Which might help our understanding of the recent trends in energy technology and its application to the energy sector. And we hope this gathering of professionals will provide ideas of business models for the energy startups and opportunities for their business endeavor through meetings with venture capitals.
