Hosted by ADNOC, ADIPEC 2023 is the world's largest energy industry gathering, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 2-5 October under the theme of 'Decarbonising. Faster. Together.'.

Tayba Al Hashemi, Chair of ADIPEC 2023 and CEO of ADNOC Offshore, said: "By 2030, the world will be home to an additional half a billion people, demanding more energy every year. At the same time, the global challenge of climate change calls for urgent, game-changing solutions to eliminate emissions. Every government, industry, business and individual has a role to play in decarbonising quicker, and creating the future of energy, faster, while safeguarding energy security and ensuring nobody is left behind.
"Decarbonising, faster, together, is not just the theme of ADIPEC 2023, it is a rallying call to industry to work together to transform, decarbonise and future-proof our industry. We want to accelerate the innovation and tangible actions needed to enable a lower-carbon and higher-growth future for the world."
ADIPEC 2023 will host a series of ministerial panel discussions that will encompass the geopolitical, sustainability and economic issues around decarbonisation and the future of energy, including sessions on 'Navigating energy and geopolitics in the new world order'; 'Global partnerships: a critical agenda to solve the energy crisis' and 'The road to COP28: climate, sustainability and an equitable transition'.
Through its 10 strategic and technical conferences, ADIPEC will address how the energy industry can respond to critical industry challenges including eliminating methane emissions by 2030; phasing out carbon emissions to reach net zero by 2050; assuring energy security and clean energy investment flows in the global south; and scaling decarbonisation technology and clean energies to achieve carbon neutrality.
