Event Highlights

Keynote: Thomas Thune Andersen, Chairman, Ørsted

Panel: Traditional Heavy Weights in the Hydrocarbon Business

The future outlook for production and utilization of oil and gas is uncertain in the near term to 2030 but expected to decline substantially, under all scenarios consistent with longer term goals of the Paris Agreement. But trillions of dollars invested are in hydrocarbon supply, utilization assets and a global supply chain infrastructure. In this panel, we will hear the perspectives of senior executives in traditional hydrocarbon industries as they confront energy transition.

Panel: Disrupters and Emerging Technologies in Clean Energy

Unencumbered by existing carbon-intensive assets and long-term contracts with suppliers and customers, a host of emerging players are disupting the global energy economy. While the opportunities are enormous, these disruptors, face their own different set of uncertainties and challenges – from variable uptake of demand side technologies, inconsistent policy settings, the high cost of venture finance and inertia in supply chains. In this panel we will hear from three innovative leaders of high-profile companies at varying stages of rapid business growth.

Panel: Enablers – Project Delivery, Capital Allocators, and Business Services

At the heart of the energy transition are service providers who design, build and service energy infrastructure, allocate capital, advise on strategy and audit performance, for businesses in traditional and emerging sectors. Climate change and the energy transition are bringing new challenges, rapidly changing standards, and increased pressure from different stakeholders. In this panel we will hear from senior executives in the services sectors on how they are navigating these challenges and supporting customers and investors as they adapt to changing expectations.
