In this exclusive interview with Charles McConnell, Executive Director, Carbon Management and Energy Sustainability at University of Houston & Former Assistant Secretary of Energy, Charles offers his honest perspectives on the challenges of energy transition and:

• What he sees as the biggest challenges in moving towards a low carbon economy
• His thoughts on Hydrogen as a fossil fuel alternative
• How Oil and Gas companies should respond to the demand to decarbonize their operations
• How the oil and gas industry will look in 30 years

“It is a fool’s statement to say we need to stop using fossil fuels. We won’t stop using them. What we must do is use them more responsibly, and that means we need to have the technologies to be able to do so.”
