Event Details

Co-hosted by Yale Center Beijing and Yale Club of Beijing

Event Description

The world of energy is at crossroads, with many market, geopolitical, and technological forces reshaping an industry that has been in existence for centuries but whose future is now more uncertain than ever.
  • Oil markets are still struggling to balance oversupply, demand, and ever-changing costs.
  • Global liquefied natural gas is entering a period of oversupply that the industry has never seen before.
  • New technologies such as renewables, electric vehicles and “Internet of Things” are challenging the fossil fuel industry and asserting themselves in traditional energy markets.
  • Meanwhile, geopolitical developments are increasingly uncertain in key oil and gas producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Russia.
