A few hundred thought leaders got together for a couple of days in November to talk about North America's transition toward net zero. Notably in Houston, long considered the capital city of the fossil fuel industries.
Typical of a Reuters conference, the panels were jam-packed with execs who each individually and certainly in aggregate can move the needle to combat climate change. Such as the CEOs or Presidents of Enel North America, Williams, PG&E, EDP Renewables, Chevron New Energies, Portland General Electric, ABB Energy Industries, Shell, and Siemens Energy North America. And many other thought leaders, including from the utilities sector, the CFO of Duke Energy, SVP of the Nuclear Energy Institute, and sustainability officers of American Electric Power and Southwest Gas.
The PUF team was there too in Houston and snapped these photos for our Facebook gallery.
