New technologies, geopolitical shifts, and swings between scarcity and abundance force energy industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and consumers to regularly reassess how we power our world.
Today’s unprecedented energy demand is also compounded by an aging workforce and new supply pressures. This is no mere spike that we can wait out. The world will add more than a billion people by mid-century, and as economies grow and electrify, global power demand is on track to roughly double. Power-hungry technologies like AI will only push it higher.
This is not a wave to ride. It calls for the deliberate use of strategies and technologies that improve existing infrastructure, integrate alternative feedstocks, and add new capacity, strengthening supply, affordability, and security.
Collaborating with the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy, our team at Honeywell identified three priorities to maintain U.S. energy leadership. First, build more capacity and build it faster. Second, build a smarter, more secure system of energy delivery. Third, widen our energy mix.
Build More, Faster
