Remission project expert Archil Kokhtashvili thereafter offered a presentation on the energy sector. He spoke about prioritization in the sector, and its consequences. He moreover thoroughly reviewed the energy sector and climate technologies for both emission reduction and adaptation.

The final part of the meeting was dedicated to group work aimed at identifying necessary climate technologies for the energy sector, discerning their barriers, and discussing ways to eliminate these problems. The participants subsequently developed a list of the required technologies, which will be discussed in greater detail during later stages of the project.
