Istanbul has hosted the XXIII World Energy Congress: key messages

The XXIII World Energy Congress was held in Istanbul on -13th October 2016. During this major event he World Energy Council has issued a statement calling on the energy sector to embrace a historic opportunity to redefine the energy contract.

The reality that per capita demand for energy will peak before 2030, the reality that we haven't done enough to decarbonise our economies and the realities for national and private balance sheets are some of the 7 realities highlighted in the statement.

During the Congress it was addressed that the grand energy transition is an unstoppable phenomenon. Adapting to this new reality with innovative technologies and different business models will require a massive effort and our ability to respond rapidly will define both winners and losers.
