Energy Transformation: Seeing the whole system instead the sum of its parts

​Teaser
Renewable energy production and clean energy usage—wind, solar, fusion, electric motors, fuel cells, hydrogen engines—are largely solved. Yet the real bottleneck lies in the transformation of energy systems: current storage and transport infrastructure cannot fully bridge supply and demand. The final 20% of the energy transition will require 80% of the effort, yet debates often focus on isolated efficiency or cost issues, ignoring systemic challenges. This session shifts the perspective from individual technologies to the bigger picture: exploring how energy systems—grids, batteries, networks, and beyond—must integrate and scale together to complete the transformation.

Why is this topic relevant?
The discussion about the need to become independent of fossil fuels has gained renewed urgency in recent weeks. The energy transition has made significant progress, but the hardest challenges lie ahead. It’s time to adopt a new perspective—thinking in terms of fully integrated energy systems. By taking a holistic approach, we can bridge the remaining gaps and make a complete transition from fossil fuels to a fully CO₂-free energy future possible.

The session will take place on the ENERGIA Planet at VENTURE SPRIND 2026, held at Futurium in Berlin. You will need a VENTURE SPRIND ticket to enter the venue and attend the session.
