UK & European Energy Security and the 'Nuclear Question'
This is a sponsored session, hosted by M&C Energy Group*
An unprecedented infrastructure investment challenge faces the European energy space over the next decade. The session hosted by M&C Energy Group maps out the scale of the problem in major European economies, and explores the future energy mix in a low carbon environment - focussing on the UK experience as a model. David Hunter, International Business Manager - Electricity, M&C Energy Group and Jeremy Nicholson, Energy Intensive Users Group will explore:
- Which technologies will be required to fill the impending 'energy gap', and how they will co-exist
- What the obstacles are to perhaps competing objectives of energy security and a low carbon future
*The content delivered in this session has been prepared by M&C Energy Group and may not reflect the views of UK Trade & Investment.
