The Energy Transition – Are we still headed to net zero? Are we asking the right questions, and who should we engage with? Role IOM3 ETG can play?

• The global energy transition is underway, but are current pathways sufficient to deliver net zero in an increasingly complex energy landscape? This webinar draws on the IOM3 ETG publication “Are we still headed to net zero?” to explore where we are on the transition journey, how objectives and assumptions are evolving, and what challenges lie ahead.
• It will highlight the critical role of materials, minerals, skills transfer, and systems thinking in enabling progress, while introducing the Energy Transition Group and its priorities for 2026.
• Participants will gain insight into emerging opportunities, key questions the sector must address, and how the IOM3 community can engage and contribute to shaping the next phase of the energy transition.

Event format

This 1-hour webinar will provide an overview of the current energy transition landscape, introduce the Energy Transition Group Leadership Team, highlight key activities from 2025, including the formation of sub-groups, outline plans for 2026, and invite participants to get involved. The session will conclude with a 15-minute Q&A.
