Stranded Assets and the Energy Transition

Past Event

October 15, 2024

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm edt

The U.S. energy sector is rapidly changing. Renewable electricity costs continue to fall and technologies, from heat pumps to electric vehicles, are rapidly improving. These advances can help the U.S. move forward towards decarbonization. What does this mean for the legacy assets that face obsolescence? How should policymakers think about the stranded asset problem, whether from the electricity sector or oil and gas? How will we manage these assets in a way that is equitable, green, and cost-effective? 

The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs will host  Dr. Catie Hausman, visiting faculty member at CGEP, associate professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan, and research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research, for a fireside chat. Dr. Geoffrey Heal, Donald C. Waite III professor of social enterprise, and Paul Garrett, professor of public policy and corporate responsibility at Columbia Business School, will moderate.

Doors will open at 5:45 p.m. and the conversation will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. 


This event is open to the public and will be hosted in person in New York City.

Advance registration is required. Capacity is limited. The event will be recorded and the video recording will be added to our website following the event.

This event is open to press, and registration is required to attend. For media inquiries or requests for interviews, please contact Adam Kilduff ([email protected]).
