International Forum - ‘Russian Energy Week’ Programme Russian Energy Week 2019 Forum Programme INTERNATIONAL FORUM - ‘RUSSIAN ENERGY WEEK’ PROGRAMME October 2–5, 2019, Moscow Programme accurate as at September 26, 2019 October 2, 2019 09:00–10:15 All-Russian Meeting – National Projects: State Priorities and Opportunities for Growth Manege, 1st floor conference hall 1 The meeting will discuss the goals and objectives of the ‘Housing and Urban Environment’ and ‘Ecology’ national projects and the integration of energy-efficient and digital technologies in implementing national projects. Particular attention will be paid to the regional practice of utilizing an integrated approach to developing urban environments while implementing resettlement programmes for citizens living in unfit housing and communal infrastructure modernization projects. Panellists: Arkadiy Chernetskiy, First Deputy Chair of the Federation Council Committee of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on Federal Structure, Regional Policy, Local Government and Northern Affairs Sergey Pakhomov, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Housing Policy and Housing and Communal Services, The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Oleg Rurin, Deputy General Director, Housing and Public Utilities Reform Support Fund Igor Shpektor, President, Union of Cities of the Arctic Circle and Extreme North Sergei Stepashin, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Housing and Public Utilities Reform Support Fund Vladimir Yakushev, Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation 09:00–10:15 Digital Transformation Cannot Be Stopped: How Can We Ensure Critical Infrastructure Security? Manege, –2nd floor conference hall A In order to adapt to new technologies, increase both efficiency and consumer convenience, the global critical infrastructure will have to switch to go digital over the next few years. Cybersecurity of energy infrastructure in this new environment becomes crucial. How do we meet these new challenges and protect power plants, networks, and auxiliary power facilities from blackouts? Can a digitally sovereign state ensure cyberspace security? What is the benefit–risk balance of energy digitalization for energy consumers? What best practices can be developed into international standards? Moderator: Alexandra Suvorova, Anchor, Russia 24 TV Channel Panellists: Petr Biryukov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Utilities and Improvement Pavel Livinsky, Director General, Rosseti Ilya Sachkov, Founder, General Director, Group-IB Andreas Schierenbeck, Chief Executive Officer, Uniper SE Gerhard Schroeder, Chairman of the Shareholders’ Committee, Nord Stream 2 AG Front row participants: Frede Blaabjerg, Head, Center Of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE), Aalborg University; Winner of the Global Energy Prize 2019 Carlo Palasciano Villamagna, General Director, Enel Russia Alexey Texler, Governor of Chelyabinsk Region Johan Vanderplaetse, Chairman, Association of European Businesses; President, Russia and CIS, Schneider Electric 1 Russian Energy Week 2019 Forum Programme 09:00–10:15 Towards Leadership in the Global Energy Mix: Priorities of the Gas Industry Manege, –2nd floor conference hall B With its reduced impact on the environment and low cost, natural gas is set to be one of the most popular energy sources in the medium and long term. The transition from coal to gas will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the power generation sector by 80% from the current level and give a big boost to the decarbonization process. The use of natural gas as a source of hydrogen and motor fuel can in the long term make gas the leading source of energy worldwide. Can the gas industry continue to expand the supply of pipeline gas from production sites or ports to supply remote regions with natural gas? How can LNG production efficiency be increased, and the cost of gas production and liquefaction reduced? Will manufacturers be able to supply the required amount of gas with the reduced term of LNG supply agreements and cut rates in regional markets? Can we expect the reduction in coal consumption from China and other major consumers to accelerate? What are the optimal approaches to the development of the transport infrastructure and tanker fleet capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand for LNG? Moderator: Martin Fraenkel, President, S&P Global Platts Inc. Panellists: Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Executive Secretary, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Leonid Mikhelson, Chairman of the Management Board, Member of the Board of Directors, NOVATEK H.E. Bijan Namdar Zanganeh, Minister of Petroleum of the Islamic Republic of Iran Alexander Novak, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Yury Sentyurin, Secretary General, Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) Viktor Zubkov, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Gazprom 09:00–10:15 The Development of Global Energy and Future of Coal Manege, –2nd floor conference hall C The events unfolding before us in the global energy sector are nothing short of a revolution. The rapid development of technologies and increasingly stringent environmental standards are creating new scenarios for the development of the global fuel and energy industry. Just 30 years ago, the future of the coal industry appeared safe and certain. With the depletion of hydrocarbon reserves, it was coal that was supposed to take up the mantel as the main source of energy for households, transport and industry, as well as raw materials for the chemical industry. Yet today, in connection with the global climate agenda and the latest industrial revolution, the coal industry is set to be quickly wound down, first in Europe, and then in other parts of the world. How strong are the arguments against the development of the coal industry globally? Does the development of the industry run counter to UN sustainable development goals? What industry trends are most attractive for investors? Which coal markets are showing the highest growth? Does the industry expect any new scientific breakthroughs? Where is the potential for growth of the coal industry in the future? What can the industry do to help restore public confidence in coal? Moderator: Ole Rolser, Associate Partner & Solution Leader Global Energy Perspective, McKinsey & Company Panellists: Gennady Alekseev, General Director, SDS-Ugol Mikhail Fedyaev, President, SDS-Ugol Alexey Khokhlov, Head of the Electric Power Sector, Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO Aysen Nikolaev, Head of Sakha Republic (Yakutia) Yury Saakyan, General Director, Institute of Natural Monopolies Research Sergey Tsivilev, Governor of the Kemerovo Region–Kuzbass; Chairman, State Council Working Group for Energy Anatoly Yanovsky, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation 10:45–12:00 Global Energy: New Alliances Manege, 1st floor In partnership with the Russian Direct Investment Fund conference hall 1 The Strategic alliance between Russia and the GCC countries in recent years has allowed for the creation of the OPEC+ agreement, which has determined the new paradigm of the world energy market. The anticipated production cut in July 2019 ensured predictability of the oil prices and maintained a stable flow of investment into the oil industry. Russia and Saudi Arabia managed to lay the foundations for the global energy alliance, which spreads beyond simple coordination of upstream. 2 Russian Energy Week 2019 Forum Programme In recent years Russia and Saudi Arabia have been enjoying close cooperation in the areas of diplomacy, technology, investment and culture. During the middle of October 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to visit Riyadh, the Kingdom’s capital, for the first time in 12 years. How does the future of the energy alliance between Russia and the Middle East look? Why would Russian and the GCC oil companies be interested in working together? Would it be possible to expand cooperation in the petrochemical industry and beyond? Would the Russian upstream and downstream technological know-hows be in demand in the Middle East? Moderator: Hadley Gamble, Reporter, CNBC Panellists: Bakheet Al Katheeri, Chief Executive Officer, Mubadala Petroleum Kirill Dmitriev, Chief Executive Officer, Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Alexander Novak, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Dmitriy Pumpyanskiy, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Tube Metallurgical Company (TMK); Chairman of the Board of Directors, Sinara Group Front row participant: Natalya Komarova, Governor of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area–Yugra 10:45–12:00 Key Factors in the Competitiveness of the Global Petrochemical Chemistry: A Paradigm Shift? Manege, –2nd floor conference hall A Due to increased demand, improved technologies and large-scale investments, petrochemicals are growing faster than the global economy. The prospects for future growth very much depend on the situation in the hydrocarbon markets, regional focus in terms of raw materials and production, and differences in industry incentive and regulatory mechanisms. At the same time, the global petrochemical industry is witness to big changes in consumer preferences, the demand for new materials, the improvement of environmental standards and development of a closed-loop economy based on recycling. Which internal and external challenges can change the paradigm for the development of the industry? What restrictions prevent Russian producers from becoming more competitive in the global petrochemical markets? What are the expected recycling

    John A. Shanahan, Corresponding Author January 11, 2010 Dr. John P. Holdren Director, Office of Science & Technology Policy, Executive Office of the President Washington, D.C. Dear John, We met in Palo Alto, California in 1970, while you were working on your doctorate at Stanford University and I was starting an engineering career in nuclear power. You visited my family in Switzerland in the 1980s, where I was working on Nuclear Power Plant Leibstadt. You have also answered questions over the years on applications of Einstein‘s equations that is much appreciated. Nearly 40 years have passed. We are both still working to make genuine contributions through science and engineering for the lasting benefit of society and the planet. Please hear our statement and pass it on to the President. Peace on earth and preservation of the marvels of nature will not be achieved without a sound energy policy. This policy must include well-managed and well-governed slow- and fast-neutron nuclear power, recycling spent fuels and depleted uranium and possibly thorium. This was the goal of the founding scientists in the 1940s and still is the best way to a reliable and secure energy future. But the world is leaving us behind. At present, 58 new nuclear plants (including two fast reactors, one in Russia and one in India) are under construction in 14 countries. Of these, 20 are in China, 9 in Russia, 6 each in India and South Korea. Only one is in North America, and that is resumed work on a plant that was mothballed in 1988 when it was 80% finished.

Dear Delegates, Welcome to the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation. My name is Jonathan Scolare. I am a senior at American University’s School of International Service where I am majoring in International Studies and minoring in Russian Language/Area Studies. I have been involved with Model UN in one way or another since my junior year in high school. I have been involved with AU’s Model UN team since my freshman year with the exception of my year abroad in Russia. In Fall 2016, I studied at Smolny College in Saint Petersburg, Russia where I participated in the newly created Smolny Model UN club. In Spring 2017, I went on an exchange program to the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), where I chaired the Security Council of the Moscow International Model UN Conference. This is my third AmeriMUNC appearance and my second time chairing. Outside of Model UN, I am involved with the American University International Relations Society and the United Methodist Student Association. During my free time, I enjoy playing Civilization V (as Russia, of course), studying languages, rooting for the Green Bay Packers, watching “Bob’s Burgers,” and driving my friends crazy with my arsenal of puns.
