Seminar by Dr. Yangsiyu Lu
The transition of energy infrastructure is crucial to achieve the carbon neutrality goal. This talk will focus on global fossil fuel power plants and leverage examples of Chinese overseas energy investments. By analysing the role of clean technology in mitigating the risk of stranded power assets and exploring the impact of cofinancing on infrastructure projects, this talk will discuss how to use clean technology to achieve a 'soft landing’ for carbon-heavy assets and strengthen the collaboration among energy financiers to achieve sustainable development of energy infrastructure.
