ESF North America 2023 has been crafted as a pivotal event for the energy sector, focusing on the ambitious decarbonization targets set forth by the current administration. The downstream sector's critical role in achieving these goals is underscored, as the transition towards net zero by 2035 for the power sector and 2050 for the broader economy is accelerated. The event will delve into the complexities of this transition, emphasizing the need for innovative technologies, supply chains, and value chains that will shape the future of energy production and consumption.

In today's evolving energy landscape, success is defined not only by safe and profitable operations but also by the ability to deliver energy and operational efficiency. A commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and circularity is paramount. ESF North America 2023 will serve as a platform where these themes are explored, providing insights into how the industry can align with these standards while maintaining competitiveness. This event will highlight the importance of collaboration and strategic planning in navigating the challenges of a low-carbon future.

The event is designed to facilitate discussions and foster partnerships among North American refiners and petrochemical producers as they position themselves for the low-carbon transition. With no singular solution to achieving net zero, a comprehensive approach is necessary. The challenges of inventing new technologies and entering new markets will be addressed, making ESF North America 2023 an essential gathering for those seeking to lead in the sustainable energy sector. This conference promises to be a cornerstone for driving the energy transition, ensuring that the oil and gas downstream industry remains at the forefront of innovation and sustainability.
