TranscriptCoal use accounts for 26 percent of global energy use, second only to oil (31 percent). Renewable energy sources account for only 14 percent of global energy use, and nuclear energy a mere five percent. These numbers are center stage in a new episode of CEO Perspectives, in which Uwe G. Schulte, leader of the Global Sustainability Centre at The Conference Board, joins President and CEO Steve Odland to discuss ways businesses can incentivize cleaner energy use.
Tune into this podcast for insights on:
Coal use across the globe: Which countries are the biggest coal consumers and what is the expected trajectory of this usage
Quantifying coal: How do you accurately measure the cost of energy? How do coal costs compare to renewable sources?
More than just carbon: How do you quantify the full environmental cost of energy production and which energy sources are best?
Areas for innovation: What opportunities exist for businesses to improve sustainability?
The needs of the future: What does the electric grid of the future look like, and what is needed to get there? What is the future of battery technology?
The role of government: From incentivizing private investors and creating public-private partnerships, to securing the grid and using a carbon tax to address social issues, what is the role of government in building a sustainable future?
