The Women's Infrastructure Network Northland chapter is proud to present WIN Northland: Powering the Future of Transportation on Thursday 21 September.
Globally the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions, and electrification of transport will play a big part in reducing those emissions. But the total emission reduction from electrification also depends on the source of the electricity that is powering EVs, so renewable energy has a big role to play in the electrification journey.
Join us to discuss NZ’s electrification uptake, how we will enable the charging infrastructure and the renewable energy resources we will need to power these vehicles. Fiona Bycroft from Naut will provide some updates on the landscape of electric transportation with a special focus on marine. She will take us through the various applications for electrified marine transport and how to prepare to convert to electric boating. Lauren will then provide an update of where all the renewable energy will come from and how this can be directed to where it is needed.
Drinks and nibbles provided.
