The New Geopolitics of Energy and Oil
Rustat Conference
......................................................................
Jesus College, Cambridge, 4 April 2012
In April 2012 the Rustat Conferences will hold a one-day conference on the New Geopolitics of Energy and Oil.
The current global energy system is unsustainable in its present form for a variety of reasons – population growth, development, economics and investment, and geopolitics. In the absence of immediate replacement technologies and clean energy forms that are scalable and affordable, there will be a continued reliance on conventional sources of energy and related infrastructure. Against this background, the transformation of the energy outlook of a number of countries and regions - thanks to shale oil and gas, tar sand, tight oil and related technologies, breakthroughs in drilling, and rising global energy demand - is leading to a shift in some of the long-standing geopolitical relationships with implications not only for foreign and economic policies but also climate change and the environment.
This Rustat Conference will address a range of these concerns in round-table sessions with expert speakers and participants drawn from academia, industry and government. The Chatham House Rule will be applied and the meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in participating at this meeting please contact us.
Please note, there will be a charge to attend this conference.
