In this Energy Unplugged episode we look at the big picture scenarios for the decarbonisation of the global economy. We’re delighted to be joined by Eirik Wærness, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Equinor, and Anise Ganbold, our Head of Research, Global Energy Markets and Hydrogen, in a conversation with our Global Research Director, Richard Howard.

Joining Equinor in 2003 under it’s previous name Statoil, Eirik leads the group’s energy market policy and macroeconomics analysis, and in his role, he has been responsible for no less than 12 editions of the group’s Energy Perspectives scenario analysis.

Main topics include:

• What is required to limit global warming to 1.5 or 2 degrees?
• Steps that both the energy system and economy need to take in order to hit this target
• How to effectively utilise scenario analysis to tackle the above?
