Rethinking Energy Decisions in a Data-Rich World | SF Climate Week Energy Summit 2026

The energy industry has no shortage of data. The challenge is knowing what to trust, what matters, and how to turn information into action. Recorded live at the 2026 SFCW Energy Summit, this panel explores how emerging data sources are changing the way energy assets are evaluated, financed, and operated. From methane emissions monitoring and climate risk analysis to energy procurement, infrastructure planning, and institutional investment, the conversation examines how decision-makers are navigating an increasingly complex and data-rich landscape.
