Er det mulig å drive byene våre 100% på fornybar energi? Hva vil dette ha å si for Norge og vår industri, og hvor hurtig er det realistisk å få det til? Få dypere innsikt i problemstillingen når Nordic Edge arrangerer paneldiskusjon under Arendalsuka 2022.
Globalt kan over 70% av klimagassutslippene knyttes til energiproduksjon, og mesteparten av energien brukes i og rundt byene. For å nå klimamålene er det derfor avgjørende å fase ut fossil energi og erstatte dette med utslippsfrie energikilder. Men hva skjer om vi faser ut fossil energi fortere enn vi greier å bygge opp alternative energikilder? Vi har allerede fått en forsmak gjennom høye strøm- og drivstoffpriser gjennom 2021-2022.
