<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Abstract:</u></b> The energy industry is going through a double transformation, around decarbonization and digital transformation. We now know that the energy systems will need to change substantially in the coming decades. But what
role will digital innovation and computational sciences play? And how do we get there faster? In this talk, I will share our vision and perspectives on Shell being at the cusp of this double transformation, with examples of developing deep capabilities in
digital innovation, with specific examples around how are we decarbonising Shell’s current operations, helping to transform existing assets, and design energy systems of the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This journey cannot be walked alone – it is also a story of community development, external partnerships and ecosystem leverage, which I will cite some examples of.<o:p></o:p></p>
