Join the USAEE New England Chapter and the Northeast Energy & Commerce Association  for a forward-looking discussion on Shell’s 2025 Energy Security Scenarios, where we will explore future energy pathways. This webinar will delve into three distinct scenarios—Archipelagos, Horizon, and the newly introduced Surge—each offering a unique lens on the intersection of energy, geopolitics, and technological innovation.

1. Archipelagos examines a fragmented world where security concerns limit technological progress and global cooperation.
2. Horizon takes a normative approach to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
3. Surge imagines a future of accelerated economic growth driven by AI-enhanced productivity.

Whether you’re focused on policy, planning, or innovation, this session will provide valuable insights into energy, sustainability, and global development – and how AI may affect that.

Facilitator: Shaela Collins, Senior Power Policy Advisor, Shell USA
