Conference

UK-LatAm Energy Transition Summit: Powering Potential

  • The Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BS
  • 16:00-18:45 BST + networking

Canning House's Powering Potential conference, sponsored by ERG International, explores avenues for energy collaboration between the UK and Latin America. By bringing together high-level industry leaders, investors, and researchers from both regions, this conference aims to shed light on emerging opportunities and challenges within the global energy landscape.

In recent years, the energy transition and energy security have become top international priorities. Latin America, with its vast oil and gas reserves, abundant critical minerals, and the world’s cleanest energy matrix, stands as a key player in this shift. The United Kingdom, with its capital, expertise, and technology, is well-positioned to unlock the region’s immense potential. As the world’s leading green finance centre, London can tap into international capital from development banks, governments, and private investors to drive renewable infrastructure in Latin America. Meanwhile, UK energy giants such as Shell and BP are actively seeking to expand and diversify their renewable investments in regions such as Latin America.

As the global push for electrification intensifies, so too will the demand for critical minerals. With 40% of the world’s copper and half of its lithium reserves, Latin America is central to meeting this growing need.

In this context, Canning House will host a conference, sponsored by ERG International Group, to explore avenues for energy collaboration between the UK and Latin America. By bringing together high-level industry leaders, investors, and researchers from both regions, this conference aims to shed light on emerging opportunities and challenges within the global energy landscape.
