Event Description
- Full Description:
- The UQ Energy Initiative is pleased to announce its inaugural UQEI Energy Perspectives 2014 conference. The annual conference provides business and community leaders, researchers, policy makers and members of the public with an insight into the grand challenges facing us as we move forward and embrace our energy future.
From emissions reduction pathways, the carbon budget and low-emission technologies to electricity pricing, liquid fuel security, and energy literacy, this year’s inaugural event will consider the big issues impacting not only Australia but the world.
In addition to our UQ Energy Experts, the UQ Energy Initiative is pleased to welcome a number of guest speakers, including:

- Dr Ron Loveland, Energy Advisor to the Welsh Government

After a range of presentations exploring the challenges we face and showcasing the breadth of expertise across UQ, the one-day event will conclude with a hypothetical discussion on energy and climate policy trends. Featuring business and community leaders, researchers, economists, politicians, journalists and more, the panel will be taken through a range of hypothetical scenarios exploring policy choices and implications for governments, businesses and households. This will be a memorable trip into the future as our experts discuss and debate the potential ramifications of our current and future energy choices.
