However, the current shift in energy preference that has been brought on by the need for environmental conservation and government regulation has changed the industry\u2019s attitude. They are now digitalizing and embracing concepts such as additive manufacturing to reduce cost, attract talent, and extend the life of existing plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m your host Ashley Eckhoff and I\u2019m joined by John Nixon of&nbsp; Siemens Digital Industries Software and John Lusty, the Industry Lead for Energy &amp; Utilities Industry Marketing at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They\u2019ll share with us how additive manufacturing is being used to transform the energy industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, you\u2019ll learn about the different segments within the Siemens energy and utility industry. You\u2019ll also learn about the challenges that additive manufacturing solves and the opportunities it opens up the industry to. Additionally, you\u2019ll learn why the adoption of new technology in the industry has increased over the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You\u2019ll Learn in This Episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The impact that energy transition is having on the industry (04:09)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How the adoption of new technology impacts new energy projects (06:45)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The speed of technology adoption within the energy industry (07:45)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The challenges that additive manufacturing solves (14:21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-last bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2022\/04\/John-Nixon.jpg\" alt=\"John Nixon - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">John Nixon &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Experienced Senior Director with a demonstrated history in the energy, petrochemical and information technology industries.
