Episode Details

This week the ESG Insider podcast is covering key themes from one of the world's largest energy conferences — the annual CERAWeek gathering hosted by S&P Global in Houston, Texas.

The event convenes stakeholders from across sectors to discuss solutions to the biggest challenges facing the future of energy, the environment and climate — and the messaging from many speakers differed from what we hear about the pace of the energy transition at the climate or sustainability-focused events we have covered on this podcast.

In this episode, we take the pulse of the global energy industry on the low-carbon transition on topics like energy policy, the path to net-zero and the role of AI and emerging technologies.

Guests in today's episode include:

*Arshad Mansoor, President and CEO of the Electric Power Research Institute, or EPRI

*Lynda Clemmons, Chief Sustainability Officer at Texas-based utility NRG Energy

*David Sandalow, Inaugural Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy and Director of Energy and Environment Concentration at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs

*Cheryl D'Cruz-Young, a Senior Client Partner at Korn Ferry, a global organizational consulting firm

*Heloisa Schmidt, Corporate Sustainability Manager with Bechtel, an engineering, procurement, construction, and project management company

*Takajiro Ishikawa, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America
