As humans, we have developed technologies to control energy transformations from agriculture to nuclear weapons. Increasing technological ability has co-evolved with increasing intensity of energy use and growing complexity of our civilization. These forces have shaped our...
Today we rely on just-in-time delivery of electricity that is sometimes vulnerable to natural disasters and failure at peak demand. This plenary session examines the reliability, resiliency and security of emerging technologies in an increasingly electrified energy system...
Trains, planes and automobiles — what are we doing to find new resources and modes of transportation? And will it lead us to rethink how we live? Energy experts participate in a moderated discussion presented live on TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin.
Human societies use complexity – within their institutions and technologies – to address their various problems, and they need high-quality energy to create and sustain this complexity. But now greater complexity is producing diminishing returns in wellbeing, while the...
This plenary session examines ways to manage energy demand and advance technological ideas that may improve efficiency at every stage of the energy system.
What happens when we run out of cheap energy and what lessons are we learning along the way? Energy experts participate in a moderated discussion presented live on TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin.
Energy transitions: a future without fossil energies is desirable, and it is eventually inevitable, but the road from today's overwhelmingly fossil-fueled civilization to a new global energy system based on efficient conversions of renewable flows will be neither fast nor...
This plenary session examines today’s emerging energy technologies as well as the challenges associated with meeting global demand as we move toward an increasingly electrified energy system.
Through animated videos and a panel discussion with energy experts, this kick-off session introduces some of the technological challenges and implementation hurdles to be overcome if we are to meet our future electricity needs.
His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, officially launches the Equinox Summit: Energy 2030 with a challenge for Summit participants, as well as those across the globe, to inspire innovation through intense collaboration and explore...
