WHAT CAN EUROPE DO TO SECURE ITS ENERGY SUPPLY?

European Council will meet to decide on the 2030 policy framework. Come join us to

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Europe’s 2030 policy framework for energy and climate change*

NETWORKING BREAK
10.40
PANEL: Perspectives on Europe’s single energy market
Chief executives and policy makers will debate what remains to be done to create a genuinely integrated single energy market,
and connect energy policy goals to market imperatives. What are the limits of national energy policies? How do we reconcile
Europe’s overarching goals with those of the 28 member states? How will EU targets shape Europe’s energy mix? Has Europe’s
CO2-emissions trading system failed?
➤ Dr Leonhard Birnbaum, Member of the Board of Management – Markets, Services, E.ON ; and Vice-chair Europe,
World Energy Council
➤ Luca Bettonte, Chief Executive Officer, ERG
➤ Øystein Løseth, President and Chief Executive Officer, Vattenfall
11.40
PANEL: Securing and diversifying Europe’s energy supply
How can an import-dependent Europe secure its energy supply? With events in Ukraine casting a shadow over the security of its
energy supply, Europe may have to look farther afield –or deeper within itself- to diminish reliance on Russian imports. Which
are the most reliable suppliers? What are the best pipeline routes? What can Europe do internally to increase the security and
efficiency of its energy network?
➤ Brian Gardner, Senior Editor, The Economist Intelligence Unit
➤ Rune Bjørnson, Senior Vice-president, Marketing and Trading, Statoil
➤ Helle Kristoffersen, Senior Vice-president, Strategy and Business Intelligence, Total

LUNCH
14.00
PANEL: Finding the right energy mix: renewables, shale, nuclear...*
Hear different perspectives on what the right energy mix for Europe is –and whether cutting costs, imports and green-house
gases all at once is possible. Which mix of renewables, shale and nuclear can achieve energy independence? Can we push
renewable energy without more spending?
14.40
FOCUS: Reaching the goals: evaluating infrastructure and technology needs
If the Super Grid is going to light up Europe by 2030, building has to start now. But who will foot the bill for building a robust
pan-European transmission grid? How much investment is needed for the complete overhaul and modernisation of Europe’s
infrastructure? How much government support will be allocated to R&D?
➤ David Walker, Chief Executive Officer, DNV GL – Energy
➤ Pierre Bornard, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, RTE ; Chairman of the board, ENTSO-E

PANEL: Improving Europe’s energy efficiency and market competitiveness
We will hear from expert panellists on the implementation of the Commission Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency and
the progress being made to reach the 2020 climate and energy targets, while encouraging greater competitiveness. Will it be
possible to provide clean, reliable and affordable energy across Europe? How will energy-intensive industries -paper, chemicals,
non-metallic mineral products and basic metals- be affected by Europe’s new energy targets? Will investment focus move outside
of Europe?
➤ Patrick Thomas, Chief Executive Officer, Bayer Material Science
➤ Claus Bugge Garn, Vice-President, EURIMA - European Insulation Manufacturers Association ; Vice-President, Group Public
Affairs, Rockwool International A/S
16.30
PANEL: Europe’s renewable energy sector at a crossroads
With Europe consuming more renewable energy than ever before, what will decreasing subsidies and the abandonment of
long-term targets mean for the future of the sector? Without state support, will it be able to compete with fossil fuels?
➤ Dr Andrew Garrad, President, EWEA
➤ Jean-François Cirelli, Vice-chairman and President, in charge of the Energy Europe business line, GDF SUEZ
