The End of Coal, the Beginning of the Future

18:30 – 19:30 ČEZ GLOBAL STAGE

The energy sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Cities, regions, and industries are searching for ways to reduce emissions, strengthen energy security, and at the same time ensure affordable and reliable energy supplies. Which technologies and approaches will play a key role in the years ahead? And what does the transition away from coal look like in practice?

In cooperation with Veolia, we will explore a topic that will shape the future of energy and everyday life:

  • The End of the Coal Era: What are the options for replacing coal, and what challenges does this transition bring?
  • New Energy Sources: What role can biomass, waste heat recovery, renewable energy sources, and other modern technologies play?
  • Sustainability and Economics: How can climate goals be balanced with industrial competitiveness and affordable energy for households?
  • Regional Transformation: How are traditionally industrial regions changing, and what can their experience offer to others?

Join us for a discussion on the steps needed to achieve a low-emission energy future and the opportunities and challenges that the energy transition brings for Czech cities, businesses, and citizens.

Speakers: Jakub Tobola, Daniel Kortus
