Breakout Sessions | Track A: Frontiers of E-MobilitySession 1A: Driving Electric Vehicle Adoption We are on the cusp of a historic transition within the transportation sector. How do we go far enough and fast enough to meet ambitious targets? Moderator: Clément Le Roy, Wavestone Speakers
Track B: Decarbonizing Buildings and IndustrySession 1B: Heating the Buildings of the Future Building space and water heating is critical to meeting decarbonization goals. How do we develop and deploy — at scale — the right technologies for the customer and the grid? Moderator: Jean-Christope Visier, CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment) Speakers
Track C: Policy and FinanceSession 1C: Regulatory Approaches to Electrification A discussion of regulatory and policy options to achieve decarbonization objectives while delivering customer and societal benefits. Moderator: François Leveque, Mines Paris Tech Speakers
Track D: Innovations in ElectrificationSession 1D: Preparing the Grid for Electrification Widespread electrification — accompanied by dramatic increases in variable renewable generation — create unique opportunities and challenges for energy storage, customer flexibility, and other approaches to meet these twin challenges. Moderator: Jean-Michel Gheeraerdts, John Cockerill Speakers

Breakout Sessions | Track A: Frontiers of E-MobilitySession 2A: Electrifying the Fleet Buses, trucks, and heavy equipment are a crucial aspect of fleet electrification. While technology advances are driving new applications, how do we support fleets in rapid and cost-effective transition to electric technologies? Moderator: Brian Wolff, Edison Electric InstituteSpeakers
Track B: Decarbonizing Buildings and IndustrySession 2B: Smarter Homes, Buildings, and Cities Connected residential and commercial buildings can deliver carbon reductions — along with greater comfort and valuable flexibility for the grid. Moderator: Maria Brucoli, EDF Energy Speakers
Track C: Policy and FinanceSession 2C: Developing the Infrastructure for Electrification What is the role of regulators and policymakers in spurring the development of the infrastructure (grid or customer) to support a more highly electrified society? Moderator: Mark Gabriel, WAPA Speakers
Track D: Innovations in ElectrificationSession 2D: Innovations in Hydrogen and Synthetic Fuels Hydrogen and synthetic fuels could play a necessary role in decarbonizing many industries, transportation, and even buildings. What are the technical, economic and policy advances required to enable the hydrogen and synthetic fuel pathways for decarbonized electricity? Moderator: Mark Duvall, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Speakers
