At the roundtable, held at the ADNOC Business Centre, 35 of the world’s leading energy industry chief executives gathered to discuss how to deliver energy security, equitable access to energy, and climate progress at the same time. During their deliberations they also discussed the building blocks required for a practical, realistic energy transition.
Sheikh Khaled welcomed the CEOs to the roundtable and commended ADNOC for bringing together the energy industry’s top executives. He also expressed hope that their discussions would help find practical solutions to the challenges of the energy transition.
In considering the trilemma of providing secure, accessible, sustainable energy, the roundtable participants discussed practical solutions, including decarbonising the production processes of hydrocarbons, leveraging hydrocarbon infrastructure to scale up the production of hydrogen, expanding renewable energy, and increasing investment in other clean technologies that can abate emissions in heavy industry.
The annual roundtable is a unique and exclusive, invitation only, gathering held under the Chatham House Rule. It provides a high-level forum for dialogue on the evolving dynamics of the energy industry and demonstrates Abu Dhabi’s voice in the conversation around the trilemma of energy security, access and sustainability, and its position as a global hub for the world’s energy industry.
The roundtable took place on the eve of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2022, one of the world’s largest and most influential events for the global oil and gas industry, which runs until 3rd November at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
