Description

Innovation and Disruption: the energy sector in transition - Oxford 2016 Research Conference is a conference dedicated to the drivers of change in energy, both positive and negative with a focus on the themes of disruption and innovation which are characteristics of current energy industries and markets.

  • Will change be driven by the market, or by policy? Will energy consumers become the real drivers of change in the future?
  • What will be the major trends or likely discontinuities affecting the energy sector over the next five to ten years?
  • How might dramatic technical innovations in both hydrocarbons and renewables change the future energy mix and the thrust of policy?
  • How important is the climate agenda in shaping and instigating innovation?
  • How is disruption and transformation opening up opportunities for radical new business models and for innovative new products and services?
  • New Business New Opportunities

  • Who will be the winners and losers?
  • Facilitating the Transition
  • What will be the impact of distributed generation, storage and demand response? What will they achieve for customers? What will they mean for suppliers?
  • How do we chart a course through to a low-carbon, secure and affordable energy system?
