ABU DHABI, 2nd October 2023 (WAM) – Stuart Broadley, CEO of the Energy Industries Council (EIC), has said that ADIPEC, the world’s largest energy trade show, is playing a critical role in driving decarbonisation of the global energy sector. “ADIPEC’s focus on energy transition and its convening power brings together the world’s leading energy companies, governments, and other stakeholders to discuss and collaborate on innovative solutions to reduce emissions and build a cleaner energy future,” he told the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the inaugural day of the ADIPEC 2023, at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. EIC is managing around 100 UK companies participating in ADIPEC 2023. “Among the multitude of companies represented at ADIPEC, the 100 British companies in our pavilion all share a storied legacy in the oil and gas sector. However, it’s vital to acknowledge that the energy supply chain has evolved into a fully integrated ecosystem, encompassing not only oil and gas but also renewables, hydrogen,
nuclear energy, and more. ADIPEC stands as a distinctive platform, showcasing the world’s integrated energy supply chain.”Everything that ADIPEC says is heard around the world. The show’s conference programme and the messages that are laid out are therefore highly influential in shaping the global energy discourse and agenda,” he added.The fact that ADIPEC is home to the world’s integrated energy supply chain is also significant, Stuart stated. “It means that the show brings together all of the key players involved in the energy transition, from oil and gas companies to renewable energy developers to carbon capture and storage (CCS) providers. This creates a unique opportunity for collaboration and innovation.”One of the key ways that ADIPEC is accelerating decarbonisation is by opening up the dialogue about how the existing supply chain can bring its innovation, skills, and capacity to bear on the challenge. “Oil and gas companies, for example, have a wealth of experience in engineering, project management,
and logistics. This expertise can be invaluable in deploying new decarbonization technologies at scale,” he said. He highlighted the necessity of businesses taking proactive steps to reduce emissions based on scientific targets. “EIC, for instance, recently planted 1000 trees as part of its 80th-anniversary celebration, symbolizing their commitment to address emissions. EIC is also actively working to reduce its own emissions. Additionally, compliance with the requirements of local governments and customers plays a crucial role in the decarbonization journey,” he concluded. EIC stands as one of the world’s largest energy trade associations, uniting companies that provide goods and services to the global energy sector. Founded in 1943, EIC operates as a non-profit organisation with a membership exceeding 900 companies worldwide.ADIPEC is the world’s largest and most inclusive gathering for the energy industry. Over 2,200 exhibiting companies, 54 NOCs, IOCs, NECs and IECs and 30 international exhibiting count
ry pavilions are coming together on 2-5 October 2023 to tackle some of the most pressing energy issues, advance decarbonisation and future-proof our energy system.
