Technology Futures

Will it be bio, nuclear or wind that will be helping to power our lives 20-30 years from now? Which alternative energy source has the potential to become a significant part of the energy mix in the coming decades?

Technology Futures cover

Gather a few dozen experts from different disciplines, related to energy, host them in a closed environment for several days…and ask them.

That's just what Shell’s GameChanger team did and the findings have now been compiled in the book Technology Futures. Technology Futures captures the insights of 40 thought-leaders from beyond Shell: from academia, business and media on the potential of the technologies behind several alternative (non-fossil based) energy sources, the obstacles that need to be overcome to reach that potential and the expectations of society from the development of such sources.
