Power for AI: Driving Transition 2.0

“Energy Transition 2.0? AI and New Opportunities”

That was the theme of our Fall Network Event in London, which gathered some of the sharpest minds in the energy transition to discuss the impacts of AI and the surge in data-center power demand — from clean/firm power generation to carbon capture and storage to new AI use cases driving operational gains. Some of our notable guests included:

• Page Crahan, General Manager of Tapestry at X

• Chase Dwyer, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon Ridge

• Talal Hasan, Founder and CEO of 44.01
