Conference: Towards an all-electric future? Why and how?

Description

In the face of climate change, it is essential for our societies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate the current phenomenon. This will be possible by: - Reducing our energy consumption through energy-saving measures, - Replacing high-carbon fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) as far as possible with decarbonized energies (sun, wind, etc.). This shift towards more decarbonized energy implies massively electrifying our transport, building heating and industrial processes. But is such a transition possible? What technologies are available? All these questions will be answered by Cédric Philibert, a specialist in decarbonization policies who worked for twenty years at the International Energy Agency (IEA) and is a former ministerial advisor. Author of numerous scientific works, the latest of which was published in October 2025, he will discuss the solutions he believes renewable energies and electrification represent to the challenges of climate change and energy sovereignty.
