Fossil Fuels – Unexpected Resilience and a New Map?

S&P Global Stand, Hall 9, Stand 9110

The expected oil production peak has been moving around along with changed expectations on the nature of demand attenuation. The Upstream industry is wrestling with many challenges and has seen a new map emerging for its activity. This talk will briefly explore,

  • The resilience of fossil fuels as an income source
  • Are we seeing a production gap, a supply gap, or both on the horizon?
  • What new map of upstream is emerging and why?

Michael Wynne, VP Insight and Thought Leadership, Upstream Solutions

13:00 PM - 13:15 PM

S&P Global Stand, Hall 9, Stand 9110

OPEC+ production decisions are set to play a decisive role in shaping the global market. What are the major challenges on the horizon and how can we navigate the shifting dynamic. This presentation will discuss

  • How will global oil balance will evolve in the nearterm? Will there be a shift from the current supply deficit?
  • How does OPEC+ production impact global oil supply?
  • Crude oil demand growth is slowing down, but when does it peak?
  • What are the uncertainties for wild card producers? Will we see a new Guyana?

Payam Hashempour, Research and Analysis Associate Director

14:15 PM - 15:00 PM

Towards a new world order?

Centre Court, Hall 9

From a rules-based international system to regional-interest-first?
Amid rising tensions, economic instability, and weakened international institutions, are we witnessing a shift towards regional interests and new alliances? What role will Asia play, and how should we navigate this change? What are the implications for global industries like energy? How will this reshape global leadership and demand? Who will emerge as key players on the world stage? Will the USA lean towards Europe or Asia? Could we see new alliances akin to BRICS? As bilateral agreements gain strength, what about countries left out? And what about energy security in conflict areas like the Middle East and Taiwan?

Panellist: Carlos Pascual, Sr. Vice President Geopolitics and International Affairs

3:00 PM - 3:15 PM

The New Pragmatism: Making sense of a volatile energy transition

S&P Global Stand, Hall 9, Stand 9110

Oil, gas and coal demand are at record levels, pushing up greenhouse gas emissions, despite decades of effort to control climate change. Yet renewable capacity build is also accelerating fast, with further growth expected. What can we expect for energy markets over the next 5, 10 or 20 years? Can 2030 emission targets be met, and what are the prospects for a net-zero world? What signposts should we watch for to indicate a clearer path to the future?

Paul McConnell, Executive Director, Climate & Energy Transformation

10:00 AM - 11:45 AM

Reimagining the world

Clarion Hotel Energy, Energy Hall, Room 2

A comprehensive understanding of the political ideologies, geographical boundaries, emerging power dynamics, and the key trends shaping the future of our interconnected global society.

Hot Spots Occurring and Recurring: analysing the geopolitical tensions and rising uncertainty, hot spots and conflicts that have emerged as focal points in the new world order. What happens if the global security architecture and norms are no longer credible?

2. Balancing Act: in a world of increased polarization, how can we build statesmanship and the global cooperation needed to ensure a more secure situation. What does this mean for global leadership, energy security and repositioning of power?

3. A New World Order: new alliances are formed (BRICS) due to decades of what could be characterized as an intolerable social order and growing visible impacts of the climate crisis. How can we best comprehend - and embrace - this? The consequences of demographic change leading to greater power and influence in parts of Asia.

Global Energy Spending: Turning Higher Across the Board

S&P Global Stand, Hall 9, Stand 9110

Energy capex is rising far and wide as policy drive and commodity prices coalesce. Global energy spending is set to exceed US$2 Trillion in 2024, up from US$1.7T in 2022, aided by clean tech momentum and relatively range bound commodity prices. Growth is multi-speed across various segments of the global energy ecosystem, but with few exceptions the direction of travel is the same: higher. Capital efficiency will compound robust capex growth to accelerate production growth for clean tech while sticky cost gains for traditional fuels helps avoid significant inflation. Small deviations higher in the capex trajectory can have outsized growth impact and while the rate of clean tech spending still lags net zero scenario needs, compounding incremental growth can go a long way towards decarbonization. Energy supply both clean and traditional has proven to be responsive considering acute cost/price volatility post-pandemic, but for the global industry the key question is whether demand infrastructure can move faster – with the rate of electrification key. Finally, China sits at the heart of many of these trends, turbo-charging growth in clean technology spending and leading the charge on electrification of transport, with significant implications for the energy transition.

Roger Diwan, Vice President, Energy & Finance

Accelerating the Energy Transition

S&P Global Stand, Hall 9, Stand 9110

The global energy system has been in continuous transition for centuries, but it is the current transition that has everyone talking. Since the rebound from COVID, the challenges to implementing an energy transition have become clearer. Recognizing and responding to them will lead to a better understanding of the timing and shape of the energy transition – that it will be multidimensional, unfolding differently in different parts of the world, with different mixes of technology, and different priorities. What is the current state of energy transition? How are companies and counties balancing energy security, affordability and sustainability? What actions should governments, investors and energy companies take to accelerate the pace of transition?

Atul Arya, Chief Energy Strategist

12:30 PM - 12:45 PM

Estimating Carbon Intensity of LNG Supply Chain

S&P Global Stand, Hall 9, Stand 9110

Regulation, along with financing and voluntary mechanisms, is one of the likely ways that the carbon intensity of products will be incorporated into commodity markets. The EU methane rules for imports of fossil fuels into Europe will be key to understanding how methane is tracked through supply chains, including for imported LNG. This session will outline S&P Global’s emissions assessment methodology for different global LNG facilities across LNG supply chains including methane intensity.

S&P Global Energy side event at ONS: Industrial Strategy and Energy Transition: Accelerator or Constraint?

Clarion Hotel Energy, Share 1 & 2

Check in: 11.30 AM

Panel session: 11.45 AM - 12:45 PM

Lunch: 12.45 PM - 2:00 PM

Will industrial policies underlying energy transition strategies make or break the battle against climate change? China, the United States and Europe have embraced energy transition strategies to advance their industrial competitiveness. The way these nations produce and use energy will drive job creation, manufacturing and reducing emissions. Targeted subsidies through tax incentives, most notably through the Inflation Reduction Act, underpin the US strategy. Europe has opted for carbon pricing and regulation as the cornerstone of its Green Deal and REPowerEU. China concentrates subsidies, research and investment on specific industries and technologies. Will the race to win on industrial competitiveness constrain sharing technology breakthroughs? Could this competition accelerate innovation to capture economic leadership? Will great power industrial strategies leave Emerging Markets and Developing Strategies stranded or supported? This conversation bridges, through ONS, a dialogue from CERAWeek24 on the Multidimensional Pathways of Energy Transition to emerging new challenges at CERAWeek25, as the world emerges from the year of global elections. Join us to explore whether the race for technologies will emerge as ally or foe in redressing climate change.

Envisioning the future

Clarion Hotel Energy, Energy Hall, Room 2

The session will focus on how we envision the future - what are the visions that will alter the way energy is being perceived and utilized? How can our industries enable COP to reach the climate goals. Shifting perceptions of energy can help transform the energy ecosystem. How can innovative technologies and changing consumer behaviours redefine the way energy is produced, distributed, and consumed?

Achieving COP’s Climate Ambitions: how do the energy sector and hard-to-abate industries achieve the goals set out by the COP 28? What role do COP initiatives, such as the Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Initiative play in achieving net zero? How can we effectively reduce emissions and support global climate targets? And what is needed from both industry leaders and policymakers to create an environment that fosters innovation and rapid decarbonization?

2. Tracking the Transition: how do we know that we are on the right track. Which measurements need to be put in motion to transform the global energy system.

3. Building a Collaborative and Inclusive Path to Net Zero: how can different sectors collaborate to ensure an inclusive and equitable transition to net zero. What are the best practices for fostering effective collaboration between industry, academia, and civil society to advance net zero goals?

4. Imagine how the world would look 50 years from now – in 2074! What can young leaders contribute to the energy transition, and what platforms or opportunities can amplify their impact? Explore approaches to ensure that the benefits and opportunities of the energy transition are equitably distributed, avoiding social and economic disparities.
