Presenters
David Donohue

In this seminar the speaker will summarize the impact that greenhouse gas emissions have on the earth’s climate and the major transitions that must take place in both energy demand/supply and CO2 capture to meet a carbon net-zero target by 2050. DNV’s projections for the world and for China, Europe and North America will be used to illustrate the transition. During the discussion the speaker will ask the audience to suggest how the university curricula could change to meet the needs of those energy specialists who will drive the necessary transitions.
