Please join us for our annual discussion on the outlook for winter fuels where we explore seasonal weather trends and impact on global demand for all winter fuels including natural gas, propane and crude oil and heating oil. This year, in particular, soaring energy prices in Europe and Asia have raised concerns that winter weather could further strain the market and exacerbate fuel shortages. Even worse, bouts of cold weather could see gas and electricity prices soaring to levels to destroy demand — and along with it economic growth globally.  We will explore the global supply trends and the underlying factors for not just higher, but record high gas and electricity prices. More broadly, we will look at how climate change and severe weather events are impacting the market and volatility of fuel prices. Are more volatile fuel prices inevitable as the world accelerates its transition to clean energy?

We are joined by Amrita Sen who is Founder and Director of Research at Energy Aspects, and Nicole Leonard who manages S&P Global Platts cross-commodity analytics and client engagement. Ed Morse, Chair of the Energy Forum Advisory Board and Managing Director and Global Head of Commodity Research at Citigroup, will moderate the discussion.

This event will be a virtual session via Zoom from 12:00 until 1:30 PM EST. Additional details will be provided to registered attendees prior to the session.
