Women account for roughly 20% – one in five jobs – of the energy sector globally. Meanwhile, women make up double that share in the wider global economy.

In this special episode, we honour Women's History Month and International Women’s Day by diving into women in energy, across power, oil and gas, and mining – where we stand, the progress made and yet to be made, and how we can move forward as an industry.

Sharing their insights and advice for women in, or looking to enter, the energy workforce are Sabine Hauser, managing director for Shell Austria, and Lucy Webb, head of people partnering at So Energy.

⁠⁠Jackie Park⁠⁠, editor-in-chief of GlobalData's energy titles, and Eve Thomas, associate oil and gas editor, are the co-hosts for this episode of Energy Technology: Industry Insights.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles is changing the picture of fuel demand worldwide. As the transport sector becomes a diminishing custom base, oil operators are looking to plug the gap, and charging infrastructure offers a logical solution. Charging infrastructure in APAC’s rapidly growing market offers an even better one.

Join us as we look at Big Oil’s pivot to the EV charging space, and assess why APAC’s market is ripe for investment.

This episode features insights from three GlobalData analysts: oil and gas analyst Ravindra Puranik, energy transition analyst Clarice Brambilla and automotive analyst Methin Changtor.

Despite accounting for nearly half of global final energy consumption and 37% of energy-related emissions, heat is frequently overlooked in conversations around decarbonisation, mainly due to the complexity of the problem. As with the power sector, electrification is often touted as the solution – but is it that simple?

Join us as we tackle the question: is electrification really the answer to decarbonising heat?

This episode features insights from Blaine Collison, executive director at the Renewable Thermal Collaborative and former director of the Green Power Partnership at the US Environmental Protection Agency, Dr Chris Bataille, adjunct research fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, Cecilia Springer, principal associate at Synapse Energy Economics, and Neil Harrison, co-founder and director at Reheat.
