We continue our Inside the Coffeehouse series where we're introducing you to Coffeehouse, our new social media platform for advancing the conversation on energy, climate, markets, and technology.    We have two guests joining us today. Susan Sakmar is Visiting Professor at the University of Houston Law Center, Board Member at Flex LNG, and Author of Energy for the 21st Century: Opportunities and Challenges for LNG. And Eirik Wærness is Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Equinor.   SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sits down with Susan and Eirik for a transatlantic conversation on the future of energy following the US elections – and asks them to share their perspectives on what it may mean for the US oil and natural gas industry, LNG, and Europe.

Om Podcasten

What are SmarterMarkets? They leverage technology to create markets that are more liquid, transparent, and secure, with lower transactions costs and fewer barriers to entry. Markets that empower individuals to improve their own lives and help us address the biggest challenges that we face as a society — including climate change and the energy transition. How do we build SmarterMarkets? We’re starting with our weekly podcast exploring how both markets and technology can be redesigned to better serve market participants and society as a whole. The podcast, presented by Abaxx Technologies, brings together the entrepreneurs, icons, and executives of commodities, capital markets and technology to rant on the inadequacies of our systems and riff on ideas for how to improve them.
