Whether from natural resources or an innovative spirit, energy is truly the lifeblood of society. It enables the building of homes, the transport of people and goods, and the powering of manufacturing processes. Energy is also important for developing medicines, purifying water and growing crops, laying the foundation for healthy, robust and sustainable economies.
