In this talk, Muhammad Talut, currently undertaking his PhD at the University of Southampton, will explain his goal for a Global Energy Movement (GEM).

The GEM is a socio-technical global movement that addresses the construction of a worldwide interconnected electrical super-grid entirely based upon renewable resources only. In the line of sustainable socio-economic progress of human civilization on mother earth, there is no alternative to the best use of renewable energy sources.

Hopefully, with the rapid evolvement in energy technology concentrating on efficiency and economics, the renewable sources will triumph over the conventional ones by the next thirty years. Then new challenges of energy distribution and resource allocation will arise in the energy arena since sustainable development will take sharp bends towards integrated global approach.

An interconnected Global Renewable Energy Grid can solve these issues. This movement intends to encourage humanity to move towards the noble dream!

The talk and Q&A will run from 19:00 - 20:30.
