As global momentum built towards the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement and the pursuit of net zero, the energy industry faced a pivotal challenge: How could we balance the urgent need to reduce global emissions with the necessity for equitable economic development and prosperity?
The historic UAE Consensus from COP28 provided much-needed momentum for accelerating decarbonisation efforts. Yet, scaling up these efforts required a comprehensive global approach that tackled energy production and consumption across various sectors.
To delve into these critical topics and explore potential solutions, we hosted the Decarbonisation in Energy Webinar, ahead of ADIPEC 2024. Our panel of experts from Ebara Elliott, Fluor, Honeywell, and PETRONAS discussed opportunities, innovative ideas, emerging trends, low-carbon solutions, and the dynamics of the decarbonisation market.
