The race to move beyond lithium-ion. Where India’s and China’s energy consumption is heading. When oil is no longer in demand.

What is starting to emerge, however, is that stranded assets in oil and gas are not going to happen merely because of climate change. It is happening as we speak because a number of potentially disrupting events are all converging on one point: our use of hydrocarbons. Some of the challenges are due to climate and some are not.
