Decarb Connect
North America, March 28-30, 2023
Decarb Connect North America is an essential meeting for leaders in decarbonization in the most energy intensive sectors, looking for collaboration, innovative thinking, and proven technology to support them on their journey to net zero.
We worked closely with members of our Decarbonization Leaders Network and an expert advisory board to identify the key challenges they face and look at practical ways to address them.
New for this Year…
The focus has shifted from mapping out roadmaps and implementing the incremental changes – What are the short cuts that can help us meet our net zero obligations? Throughout the event we will be looking at practical solutions to scale up and speed up the adoption of new technologies, refine business models and cut through the clutter of potential options to fast-track industrials towards net zero.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a game-changer with huge potential but what does it mean for industrials, what are the mechanisms and timeframes for funding deployment? Hear from government representatives from federal and state level, along with leading advisors and industrials on how the IRA has shifted strategies and priorities, the nuts and bolts of how to benefit from 45Q, including the permitting process for Class VI wells.
Industrials accept there is no silver bullet and a toolbox approach to technology is needed, but with so many options on the table, or in the pipeline, where to start? Time is precious! A key aim of the event is to help cut through the noise and encourage as many face-to-face interactions with technology and solution providers that offer proven and economical options, that could potential lead to further discussions and partnerships.
Our objective is to harness the collective energy and expertize of the group around key questions and barriers to decarbonization.
Whether you identify as an early adopter, fast follower, or even if you’re still figuring out your roadmap…by attending this event you will make meaningful connections through in-depth working groups, roundtable discussions and networking activities which will go beyond simply exchanging business cards.
Be sure to join 200+ leaders in Houston for strategic, pan-regional discussions and the opportunity to meet and forge essential new partnerships.
