Recent developments in the geopolitical sphere and the ever-pressing issue of climate change are placing a renewed urgency for action to accelerate the decarbonisation of our economies and reduce reliance on energy imports. It is acknowledged that this requires investment in research and innovation to yield new technology solutions. Within this context, Malta’s National Energy Conference 2022, which is being held jointly with the Institute for Sustainable Energy at The University of Malta, will bring together international and local speakers from various energy sectors to discuss topics related to ongoing developments in Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Battery Storage, as well as engage in a debate on how Europe can become energy independent by 2050. The audience which is expected to be a mix of policymakers, professionals, business entities, students and public officers, will also have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A after each session. The conference will be held on the 18th of October at the db San Antonio Hotel & Spa, between 08:30 and 17:00.
