Meeting rising global energy demand with sustainable innovation

In an exclusive interview with Energy Connects, Amanda Hickman, Vice President of Research and Sustainability at Honeywell, highlighted the scale of today’s energy challenge: global demand is set to rise 32% by 2050, meaning the industry must expand supply while keeping sustainability, carbon intensity, cost and grid reliability in balance. She explained how Honeywell leverages more than a century of engineering expertise to deliver innovative, bankable technologies that reduce risk and support the transition. Looking ahead, Hickman predicted the future of energy as an “all-in approach” — combining more efficient use of traditional fuels with transitional options like LNG, alongside emerging technologies and new fuel sources that will be essential to meeting rising demand sustainably.
