The Role of Renewables in the US and World Energy Mix
July 10, 2012
On July 10th, the Atlantic Council’s Energy and Environment Program hosted a discussion with BP Alternative Energy CEO Katrina Landis. John Lyman, director of the Energy and Environment Program, moderated the discsussion.
Future demand projections indicate that alternative energy sources will play an ever-growing role in the US and world energy mix.

However, renewable energy currently accounts for only 3.4 percent of US energy production (according to the International Energy Agency). As such, the future of renewable energy production and its role in the electric power portfolio remains an open question. As a leader of one of the world’s largest renewable energy investors, Katrina Landis was uniquely able to provide insight into industry thinking and future direction of the US energy mix.
