Mr. Casula sees fair access to cleaner, cheaper energy as crucial for poorer energy areas around the world. Especially sub-Saharan Africa.
Mr. Casula believes the industry has failed in communicating the need and possible choices that will eventually lead to a no-carbon future. Timescales are needed that recognize the realities of transitioning from today’s reality to tomorrow’s requirements.
Our onus is to be able to say we have done something to give access to everyone for cleaner, cheaper energy.
Roberto Casula, Chief Development, Operations & Technology Officer, Eni
Framing the impossible was proposed as the first step, with the example that Africa’s problems aren’t just about energy solutions, but that infrastructure is a major limitation to energy access.
Mr. Casula said that visionary thinking is required—the need for curiosity, bravery, and determination is greater than ever.
