DESCRIPTION:About This Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobal energy dynamics and the growing momentum for the energy transition is putting the Middle East region\, traditionally heavily reliant on hydrocarbons\, under increased pressure. There are many opportunities for the region to thrive in the era of the energy transition with its natural geology and abundance of low cost and low carbon resources. Today success is no longer just measured on safe and profitable operations\, but also the delivery of energy and operational efficiency whilst demonstrating a commitment to ESG and maximising in-country value and circularity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the region looks to diversify\, ESF MENA will support the collaborations\, discussions\, and development of a sustainable energy future in which the Middle East’s downstream industry continues to play a leading role. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresent the latest technologies being deployed to decarbonise operations\, carbon base line assets\, and conserve energy\n\n\n\nDiscuss the most opportune pathways for the region in its journey to net zero\n\n\n\nExplore routes to increased flexibility and (product slate) diversification to accommodate bio-based and hydrogen generated feedstocks\n\n\n\nExplore the value proposition and commercialisation status of the latest plastics conversion technologies and the tangible steps needed for large scale implementation\n\n\n\nPrepare the industry for tomorrow through market outlooks\, future fuel predictions and transition preparation\n\n\n\nDiscuss the latest projects and technologies championing the production of low and zero carbon hydrogen essential for the deep decarbonisation of the downstream industry\n\n\n\nPosition the industry to take the leading role in a net zero future through market outlooks\, future fuel predictions and transition preparation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EuroPetro\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
