13:00 uur - 17:00 uur

Voeg toe aan je agenda EnergyDays is organized every quarter of the year and are open for anyone interested in the latest developments in societal energy issues. EnergyDays focusses on a specific aspect of the present energy and climate discussion. Different keynote speakers from academia and industry present their views, solutions and outlooks on the topic. The motto of EnergyDays is to stimulate the audience to broaden their vision on energy and climate. We value your input during this day. Looking forward meeting you!

CAN WE END FOSSIL FUELS?

Reducing the use of fossil fuels is necessary to address climate change. But for national security reasons it seems difficult to rid ourselves of coal, oil and gas.

So, can it be done? And should policy focus on fossil fuels, or use generic climate policy instruments? Different academic perspectives co-exist on this controversial topic.

This Spring's edition of the TU/e | EIRES EnergyDays brings several of these together to discuss whether – and how – we can end fossil fuels.
