World's preeminent energy conference to focus
on 'Moving Ahead: Energy strategies for a complex
world.' Learn more at www.ceraweek.com
HOUSTON, Feb. 10,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 43rd annual gathering
of CERAWeek by S&P Global—the world's preeminent energy
conference—will convene energy industry leaders, experts,
government officials and policymakers, as well as leaders from the
technology, financial and industrial communities, March 10-14 in Houston.
CERAWeek 2025: Moving Ahead: Energy strategies for a complex
world will examine an era of multifaceted change—in policy,
technology and geopolitics—that is reshaping the global energy
landscape.
Chaired by Daniel Yergin, Vice
Chairman of S&P Global and author of The New Map: Energy,
Climate and the Clash of Nations, the conference will explore a
multitude of factors—and the underlying issues and linkages between
them—that have profound implications for markets, investment,
supply chains, geopolitics and competitive strategies.
"When it comes to charting pathways to the energy future, change
is proving to be the one constant," said Yergin. "New governments
and regulatory shifts, the transformative potential of artificial
intelligence, technology advances, continued fragmentation of the
global economic order, geopolitical rivalry and persistent
conflict—these are just some of the factors with the potential to
challenge assumptions and impact plans. Successfully navigating
this evolving landscape and meeting the world's need for secure,
reliable and affordable energy will require keen insights and
innovative strategies. This will be the focus of the world's energy
leaders at CERAWeek 2025 in Houston."
The CERAWeek 2025 conference program will explore key themes
related to:
New Policies and Shifting Regulations – How will shifts
in energy, climate and trade policies test investment approaches
worldwide—and how will the new administration in Washington redefine the outlook?
Oil and Gas – How to navigate short- and long-term market
uncertainties amid a changing demand outlook, shifting policies and
a rebalancing of global supply.
Power, Grid and Electrification – What policies, mix of
natural gas and renewables, technologies and systems will be needed
to meet a coming demand surge from the electrification of the
energy system and emergence of AI?
Renewables and Low-Carbon Fuels – How is the policy
outlook changing for wind, solar and biofuels, as well as for
hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels and how could it impact
deployment going forward?
Geopolitics – How to navigate geopolitical competition
that is making energy markets, trade flows, investment decisions,
technology choices and energy transition more complicated.
Trade and Supply Chains – How will an increasingly
fragmented global trade system impact energy flows and economic
growth?
The Capital Transition – How to mobilize capital to
meet current energy needs and move towards a lower emissions energy
system amid policy risks, trade tensions and geopolitical
disruptions while delivering returns to stakeholders.
Business Strategies – How are companies evaluating,
adapting and pursuing diverse strategies and business models to
support the needs of today's energy system while positioning
themselves for the future?
Mobility and Transportation – How will energy,
power, automotive and technology company strategies adapt amid
shifts in government policies and consumer demand?
Minerals and Mining – How to reconcile growing
demand for critical minerals for the energy transition with
persistent challenges such as long lead times, regulatory hurdles,
trade tensions and local issues of access.
AI and Digital – How can AI and other digital
technologies transform the ways energy is produced, managed and
consumed? How can the power sector meet surging electricity needs
from datacenters and energy transition demand?
Managing Emissions – How can industry, policymakers
and capital providers align strategies to accelerate and expand
decarbonization technologies while maintaining competitiveness and
growth?
Technology and Innovation – What models of
innovation are advancing the development, deployment and scaling of
key technologies across the energy landscape?
Climate and Sustainability – How will
post-COP29 strategies evolve within a
polarized political and economic landscape and a new administration
in Washington?
The week-long event will also include the CERAWeek Innovation
Agora, serving as the center of technology and innovation
programming at the conference. Featuring a community of
technologists, startup entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and
investors, thought leaders, policymakers and corporate innovators,
the Innovation Agora will showcase transformational technology
platforms in energy and adjacent industries ranging across AI,
decarbonization, low carbon fuels, cybersecurity, hydrogen,
nuclear, mining and minerals, mobility, automation, and more. The
