Conference Overview

Creating Tomorrow’s Energy System Today


With a focus on managing the transition to meet net zero goals through cost-effective
and sustainable pathways, energy executives in the Strategic Conference will analyse
central themes to the transition energy supply mix, the onset of electrification,
improvements in energy storage, future risks of oil supply disruption, emerging gas
security challenges and the ongoing inflationary environment.

The Hydrogen & Decarbonisation Conference will explore hydrogen’s role in


decarbonising energy systems, heavy industry and hard-to-abate.

The Climatetech Conference will focus on the latest technologies currently


implemented in the fields of solar, wind, green hydrogen, and energy storage systems,
and how they are enabling energy transition and supporting companies in achieving
sustainability and net zero.

CONFERENCE THEMES

Accelerating An Equitable, Sustainable & Secure Energy Transition


The Lisbon Energy Summit & Exhibition gathers global stakeholders to push forward the clean energy agenda. The world is at a tipping point in terms of revolutionising
today’s energy system towards a cleaner, greener future. No longer is energy a siloed or peripheral topic but a foundational aspect of achieving equity with climate change
goals, quality of life and sustainability. We are in a period of unprecedented innovation across Renewable Energy Systems and the interplay between green molecules, green
electrons and decarbonisation. Delegates will learn strategies from 250+ speakers through the analysis of 10 key themes regularly affecting the energy industry today. As part
of the conversation, Conference attendees will gain the tools and knowledge to challenge existing norms, stimulate collaboration, and utilise new technologies to forge
the path to net zero.

Global Energy Strategy Panel: Accelerating the energy transition


through supportive policy
The global polycrisis has evolved perspectives surrounding energy security, affordability and
sustainability. Energy affordability is now at the top of government agendas around the world.
Energy security is now inclusive of energy supply paired with the need to develop diversified
energy mixes. Energy sustainability now encompasses clean energy beyond decarbonisation,
with investment and supportive policy playing a role in fostering the development of new clean
energy technologies while also protecting traditional sources and infrastructure. A combination
of recent policies like the US Inflation Reduction Act and the European Green Deal are accelerating
towards the tripling of renewable energy capacity and doubling of energy efficiency in line with
COP28 commitments.
• What opportunities do policymakers have to remove barriers for approvals, permitting and scale-up
of clean energy projects that will facilitate a secure and sustainable energy future?
• The EU Energy Platform played a role in coordinating EU negotiations with external gas suppliers to
facilitate access to affordable energy and avoid energy supply disruptions.
• What impact has this model had at the country level and what are projections for the future?

Audience insights: The evolving perspectives on energy security, affordability, and


sustainability, including how recent policy developments shape opportunities for
policymakers, industry stakeholders, and energy consumers to navigate towards a secure
and sustainable future.

The future of natural gas: How it fits in Europe’s energy mix


Geopolitical and economic disruptions to global energy markets have emphasised the importance
of a multifaceted energy mix, reinforcing the of role natural gas in delivering energy security.
Countries are balancing their energy security needs with their ongoing commitment to
decarbonisation. Talk of natural gas’ role as a bridging fuel has been replaced by questions around
how supply can be secured - now and in the future - and at what price. In particular, reductions
in Russian gas flow to Europe have resulted in supply-demand uncertainty and price volatility.
In this context, Europe has reshaped global gas markets and sparked a significant increase in
LNG regasification capacity as well as some long-term contracting activity. However, uncertainty
remains as to how the European gas market will further develop and thus impact global markets. In
addition, the emergence of renewable gases has highlighted the opportunity to repurpose current
infrastructure while eliminating CO2 emissions thus futureproofing existing and new infrastructure.
• For many gas importers, the energy crisis forced a pause in energy supply diversification and
decarbonisation plans in favour of ensuring energy supply security. With decarbonisation targets of
2030 fast approaching, how will gas importers balance energy security priorities with now fast-tracked
decarbonisation agendas? What does this mean for natural gas?
• A more complex energy system, with electrification at its core, raises important questions about the
opportunity around retrofitting natural gas infrastructure across the supply chain to accommodate
new operating models and net zero ambitions. How might this play out?

Audience insights: The evolving role of natural gas in global energy security amidst
disruptions, supply uncertainty, and price volatility, along with challenges in balancing
energy security and decarbonisation priorities, and opportunities for aligning natural gas
infrastructure with net zero ambitions.

offshore wind economy
seeking pathways to net zero will be in attendance. Floating offshore wind (FOW) is an evolution of traditional “fixed” offshore wind. While fixed-
bottom turbines dominate Northern Europe, floating substructures allow development in deeper
sea basins. The Mediterranean and North Atlantic Coastal regions, due to their topography, are
prime candidates for FOW. However, FOW faces technical challenges such as stability control,
maintenance solutions, energy management, and long-distance electricity transmission. Portugal,
Spain and Italy have ambitious goals for offshore wind. Spain aims to have 3GW of floating offshore
wind capacity by 2030; Portugal has targeted 10GW by 2030; and Italy initially lagged behind with
targets of 0.9 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030 but now targets 20GW of floating wind by
2050. The levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for floating offshore wind varies based on factors like
development, operational expenses, and capital costs. Clear policies, technology-specific auctions,
and revenue stabilisation mechanisms (such as Contracts for Difference) are crucial for successful
interconnection and offshore wind growth.
• How can the development of offshore wind hybrid projects increase energy security and create
collaboration between numerous markets and nations?
• What are the implications for offshore and near-shore infrastructure based upon hybrid energy system
projects that are currently being implemented?
• What are the legal, regulatory, and other barriers to offshore wind hybrids?
