Saskatchewan's Energy Transition: The Business, Technology and Skills We Need Now and in the Future
While the goal to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions is clear, the path to achieve net zero is a multi-faceted challenge. There is technology that requires development, capital that must be deployed to implement it and a value proposition to justify the investment. Alongside these projects, there are socio-economic factors as well, including training and transitioning our workforce as our economy shifts to new areas. Given the complexity, risks and costs, collaboration will be key. Join us for a panel discussion with key thought leaders on Energy Transition in Saskatchewan.
