Upon the invitation of Professor John Maniatis,the chairman and Executive Director of IENE, Costis Stambolis on November 19 conducted a seminar to the University of Piraeus graduate course on “ Climate Crisis and Information and Telecommunication Technologies”. The 3 hour seminar covered a wide range of topics ranging from energy demand and supply, oil and gas market fundamentals, the role of fossil fuels in climate change,the stride towards renewable energy sources and the challenge of decarbonisation. Another key area of discussion was the importance of energy security,i.e the provision of uninterruptible (24/365) oil, gas and electricity supply, and the need to maintain stable market conditions as we move deeper in energy transition.
More than 40 graduate students attended the course which was introduced by Prof.John Maniatis, the course’s chairman and former minister of Environment and Energy. In his introductory remarks Prof.Maniatis praised the role of the Institute of Energy for SE Europe(IENE) as a true source of really factual yet comprehensive information and analysis on energy issues. Furthermore he spared no compliment in introducing the lecturer providing a useful background on his work and professional career as an energy analyst and scholar.
