On this week’s podcast, Jackie and Peter review the final takeaways from COP28. Next, they discuss the key energy themes that shaped the past year. The 2023 top themes include:
1) Artificial intelligence (AI) becomes mainstream
2) Investors now understand the clean energy interest rate nexus
3) 2023 will be the hottest year on record
4) Affordability issues slow the uptake of clean energy technologies
5) Policy-driven energy transition led by the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
6) Oil and gas markets shrug off geopolitical risk
7) Big year for Canadian policy development – some opportunity and some frustration
8) Canada has two CCS wins in 2023 – Air Liquide Net Zero Hydrogen/Imperial Renewable Fuels and Dow Chemical’s Zero Emissions Ethylene Cracker
9) IEA appears to switch into climate advocacy mode
