Industry Keynote: "State of the Union"
The world's largest economy is lagging on the energy transition. Energy-related emissions in the US fall just 40% by 2050 in BloombergNEF’s base case, leaving more than half of today’s emissions unabated. A net-zero transition for the US requires a highly electrified end-use economy that overcomes its attachment to cheap natural gas, as well as the rapid commercialization and adoption of clean molecules.

The world's largest economy is lagging on the energy transition. Energy-related emissions in the US fall just 40% by 2050 in BloombergNEF’s base case, leaving more than half of today’s emissions unabated. A net-zero transition for the US requires a highly electrified end-use economy that overcomes its attachment to cheap natural gas, as well as the rapid commercialization and adoption of clean molecules. The energy transition is at a pivotal moment, with states like Utah actively positioning itself for a clean energy future. The state has a difficult tightrope to walk between growing industrial load and maintaining reliable power. This presentation showcases BNEF's pathways towards net zero and a deep dive into Texas power markets as the US deals with emerging opportunities in hydrogen, decarbonization in steel and the complexities of grid modernization.
