Working to solve the “and” equation: Increasing energy supply and reducing emissions

Getting on a path to net zero requires unprecedented innovation and collaboration at immense scale. The ongoing societal effort is critical but must avoid economic hardships and market disruptions that result from energy and product shortages.

Solving this challenge is not an “either/or” proposition. It’s an “and” equation. One that requires an increase in supply and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Given the skills and capabilities required, there’s no question that the energy industry plays a critical role – on both sides of this equation.
