The EGYPES 2025 Conferences help shape the future energy agenda to unlock
the potential of the energy transition and drive sustainable production and
climate-conscious practices. The EGYPES strategic dialogue focuses upon
the need for a new global energy system, one that reduces reliance on single
energy sources and supports supply and demand cycles globally.
At the same time, the EGYPES technical programme provides enrichment from
practical, scientific and innovative R&D to project management across
the entire oil, gas and wider energy supply and value chains.

Whilst decarbonisation is a rightly much needed and unstoppable reality, and whilst business leaders strive
to deliver a balanced and realistic energy future to provide energy security, satisfy current energy demand
and ensure the transition is fair and just, reliance on fossil fuels remains, for now. With growing pragmatism,
rather than an either-or scenario, business leaders are better positioned to make confident decisions and play
a decisive role in expediting progress whilst satisfying shareholders, to mitigate risks and seize opportunities
across both the traditional and renewable value chains.

15:20 - 16:00 Taking harmful emissions out of energy
18 FEBRUARY
2025
The oil and gas industry has been working relentlessly, taking action against harmful emissions to power a safer,
net-zero future. As efforts ramp up, the potential is vast. However, with costs remaining high, investment, scale,
deployment and implementation of a variety of novel technologies and methods must continue if we are to meet
the magnitude of emissions removal needed in the coming decades.

As we move towards a cleaner, lower-carbon energy system and as nations continue efforts to diversify and
deliver new sources of home-grown energy to support rising demands, the need to maintain reliable energy to
power nations and industries remains. With its already low-carbon footprint, continued investment, innovation
and collaboration in gas is the logical step towards the rollout of renewables.
Attendee Insights A frank discussion on the importance of investing in gas. Its significance as a bridge to
energy supply as nations transition to net-zero, its affordability and role in keeping the lights on today and
its flexibility as a transition or destination fuel of choice.
