  13:30 - 14:00 Global energy investment and the need for an energy transition
  Climate change and the question of how it is possible to adapt to the targets of the Paris Agreement has become a defining factor in the conversation on how we fuel our society in the future over the past years. But how is the green transition progressing, what role will oil and gas have in the transition and what is actually needed to succeed?
  
  14:40 - 15:00 Talk: Oil and gas production and the green transition
  Widely recognized projections from many sources show that oil and gas will be in strong demand in the EU and the world for the coming decades. How can this demand be satisfied in the future, and how will the ongoing energy transition change the European demand for oil and gas? Could the way that oil is produced in Denmark be transferred to other parts of the world and what should governments do in order to meet the need for a net zero emissions? This also raises the question of if oil and gas can be a part of the energy mix at the same time?
