About
What is Global Energy Basel?
Global Energy Basel identifies the major trends, key players, and top priorities in the global infrastructure business and keeps focused on the major impediment to sustainable infrastructure, namely financing. Global Energy Basel identifies best practises and methods leading to both the long-term value and the short-term returns that sustainable infrastructure can provide. Confronting the challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation, resource scarcity and energy security will require massive investment in the fundamental reconfiguration of the infrastructure that supports modern society. By 2050, nothing will function as it does today. This challenge presents huge opportunities both for investors and for projects owner. Global Energy Basel brings them together.
The yearly GEB conference aims at designing the investment landscape of these innovative, high-growth markets, which account for over 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions:
- Building and urban development (concepts, planning, residential and commercial development and recreation, encompassing new developments and retrofits)
- Transportation (mobility and city logistics)
- Sustainable energy supply (with renewable energy and demand side management/efficiency)
