IHS CERA Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum

IHS CERA Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum delivers original research and fosters discussion among industry leaders and key stakeholders to help understand, integrate and address the clean energy questions facing the global energy industry.

Building on the foundation of the CERA 2007 Multi-client Study Crossing the Divide: The Future of Clean Energy, the Forum provides an objective and independent research agenda to assess the impact of new climate change policies, evolving greenhouse gas markets, and accelerated clean energy investments. We describe the dynamic interplay of diverse factors— including energy markets, technology, policy, supply and demand, consumer behavior and demographics—shaping the green energy landscape. IHS CERA clients gain a clearer understanding of the implications of policy for company strategies and industry competition.
