The business programme will include sessions on the following topics: a plenary session will discuss new trends in the global energy market and prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation; there will also be presentations on commodities for the energy transition with key trends and investment opportunities. Special attention will be paid to the role of technological innovation and human capital in the energy transition, including the key role of natural gas as a low-carbon fuel. Separate sessions will highlight environmental aspects in hydrocarbon development aimed at reducing methane and CO2 emissions, as well as accelerating the monetization of natural resources through new alternative energy projects.
