How collaboration can unlock industrial transformation and accelerate the energy transition
Industrial transformation via tech neutrality, affordability, regional strategies, consistent policy, market mechanisms and multi-energy infrastructure.
The World Economic Forum’s Advanced Energy Solutions industry community engages leaders that drive the energy transition in frontier segments of the energy system. The community aims to accelerate, from decades to years, the deployment at industrial scale of advanced solutions such as clean fuels and hydrogen, advanced nuclear, storage and carbon removal.
The community helps:
- inform debate on advanced energy,
- provide a platform to engage across technology and energy producers, energy users and investors,
- address regulation and policy.

As countries attempt to diversify supply, global energy investment is expected to reach $3.4 trillion in 2026. But permitting and policy support are key.
The promised hydrogen boom has not emerged. DNV now forecasts 2050 production 35% below 2022 projections. So what happens to the clean hydrogen case now?
