Abstract
“Business as usual” is no longer an option for the energy sector. The predominant task of policymakers, business leaders and other stakeholders involved in energy is to find ways to accelerate the process for delivering the vast amounts of low-carbon energy that will be needed in the coming decades to support economic growth.

A significant milestone in the attempt to transform our energy systems is the ambitious agreement reached by the United Nations climate change conference in Paris.
