Please join us for a presentation by Dr. Mallika Ishwaran, Chief Economist, Shell.
Dr. Ishwaran will present and discuss Shell's 2025 Energy Security Scenarios:
"Shell has been developing possible visions of the future since the early 1970s, helping generations of Shell leaders, academics, governments and businesses to explore ways forward and make better decisions. Shell Scenarios ask “what if?” questions, encouraging leaders to consider events that may only be remote possibilities and stretch their thinking.
In The 2025 Energy Security Scenarios: Energy and artificial intelligence, we reimagine our Archipelagos and Horizon scenarios in the context of a world using AI. We have also added a third scenario, Surge, which explores the prospect of a new wave of economic growth driven by productivity improvements catalysed by AI.
In Archipelagos, technology development is hampered by global concerns about resource, border and trade security. Horizon takes a normative approach to investigate what the world would need to do to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and global warming limited to 1.5°C by the end of the century."
