The UAE will be at the heart of the global dialogue on the future of energy, as industry leaders, policy-makers and innovators from around the world gather in Abu Dhabi from October 31 to November 3 for the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), the world’s most influential forum for the energy industry.
The flagship global energy event will engage the global energy sector in helping to resolve the industry’s most pressing questions.
ADIPEC, which will have the theme of ‘The Future of Energy: Secure, Affordable and Sustainable’, will play an important role in spotlighting the energy needs of today, with fewer emissions, and also working towards a clean energy future.
The event will be taking place at a time of unprecedented complexity in the energy market and the global economy, as industry and governments work to achieve energy security, while advancing the climate goals.
The event will highlight the balanced approach needed to advance a successful energy transition – fast-tracking decarbonisation of today’s energy sources, while diversifying into future energies. Taking place the week before COP27 in Egypt, and as the UAE prepares to host COP28, a particular focus will be on how the industry is delivering on climate action, turning net zero commitments into realised emission reduction.
Suhail Al Mazrouei, minister of energy and infrastructure, said the event would provide an important platform to make the case for a progressive and pragmatic energy transition that is both pro-climate and pro-growth.
“This year, global industry must use the event to highlight the action they are taking to meet the world’s energy needs and rapidly decarbonise oil and gas production, while investing to diversify into new and cleaner energy sources,” he said.
ADIPEC 2022 will be opened with a keynote address by Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, minister of industry and advanced technology and managing director and Group CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and also UAE’s special envoy for climate change.
The conference will also see the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) launch ‘An Eye on Methane’, the second edition of its International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) report.
Besides, OPEC will release its annual World Oil Outlook report to highlight and further the understanding of the many possible future challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the oil industry.
It will also work to encourage dialogue, cooperation and transparency between OPEC and other stakeholders within the industry.
ADIPEC 2022 will host a series of conferences providing strategic and technical insights, including hydrogen-focused sessions.
More than 1200 speakers, including over 40 ministers, CEOs, and policy influencers, will participate in more than 350 sessions.
