Helping to accelerate Europe’s energy transition and the development of a sustainable energy future in which the refining and chemicals industries continue to play a leading role, ESF Europe is the only event dedicated to downstream decarbonization and sustainability.
The IEA has estimated that to reach net zero emissions by 2050, annual clean energy investment worldwide will need to more than triple by 2030 to around $4 trillion. To keep up with these targets, keep pace with the US and other global counterparts, and maintain momentum, Europe requires the right incentives, policies, and funding mechanisms to be in place to ensure the efficient deployment of clean energy projects and technologies.
While investment support is important, certainty and demand are critical. Getting intelligence on what premium can be captured downstream to help pay for the projects and the customer’s willingness to pay a premium for low-carbon products is make or break in determining how aggressively we can move forward with any projects.
Alongside navigating marketing conditions, regulations, and funding, the industry must pursue a journey to profitably decarbonize while navigating competing pressures from shareholders, stakeholders, customers, and policymakers to provide a range of options and products that are secure, affordable, and sustainable.
… and with all that in mind, taking a technology-neutral approach, ESF Europe will once again harness the magic of our industry, and be a catalyst for collaboration to help advance and accelerate the development of a decarbonized and sustainable energy future in which the refining and chemicals industries continue to play a leading role.
