World Energy Council FELS secure place on Forbes 30 under 30 in energy
Every year, Forbes search for promising young people working on energy
issues or in the energy industry. They seek them out from major oil
companies to university research labs to Silicon Valley venture capitalist
firm, then pass on a shortlist to three judges to get their input on who they
think deserves to end up on the final list.
The Council spoke to Richard Walsh and Samir Ibrahim, two World Energy
Council Future Energy Leaders (FEL) who secured a place on the final list
this year. A panel of A-list legends in their fields were joined by 30 under 30
alums tasked with vetting and voting on the finalists. Read more
Energiewende is inspiration, but not a blueprint for the World
German energy policy is noticed widely abroad. However, a majority of
energy professionals do not see German energy policies as a global
blueprint according to a recently published survey by the German member
committee of the World Energy Council. The Survey, German energy policy
– a blueprint for the world, found that internationally, a large majority of the
respondents (58%) are closely following the German energy demand. For
one quarter of the European respondents surveyed among energy experts
in 42 countries around the world, the Energiewende has either triggered a
national debate on energy or led to concrete political decisions on energy,
whereas the influence is weak only outside Europe. Read more

policy. The World Energy Council’s American member committee, the US
Energy Association (USEA), organised a five-day executive exchange as
