Spearheading a more sustainable, low-carbon and smart energy system
THE ROAD TO 2050, digitalisation of the energy sector, and financing the future of energy are three key themes of this year’s Global Power & Energy Leaders’ Summit, taking place at GPEX 2018, in Spain.
GPEX 2018, alongside Gastech in Barcelona, Spain (17-20 September), will spearhead a more sustainable, low-carbon and smart energy system through its newly released conference programme agenda.
The modernisation of the energy system is taking place simultaneously with a shift to a low-carbon economy.
