Energy Transition: A Redefined Opportunity
The global shift to renewable energy has spurred mega projects, especially in the Middle East, a region long dominated by oil and gas. However, transitioning away from hydrocarbons remains complex, with ‘green’ energy under growing scrutiny and Gulf nations exploring nuclear power as part of their strategies. This panel will examine whether it is time to reframe the energy transition narrative and explore how stakeholders like IOCs, NOCs and LSPs are reshaping the energy landscape. Key topics include:
• Reframing green energy: Defining true sustainability and avoiding greenwashing.
• The energy transition myth: Integrating oil, gas, and nuclear into a low-carbon future.
• Future-ready investments: How oil and gas companies are futureproofing with renewable fuels, energy-efficient technologies, and low-carbon energy projects.
• Nuclear power: Gulf states’ nuclear ambitions and the role of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
• The role of LSPs: How can LSPs collaborate with the stakeholders (IOCs / NOCs) in projects such as nuclear, carbon capture, batteries, energy storage, renewable fuel initiatives etc.
• Technology drive: Advanced technologies supporting greener projects, including semiconductor plants and energy-efficient data centers.
