The company’s CEO, Dr Carole Nakhle, will moderate four Strategic Leadership sessions, bringing together leading voices from across the global energy sector. These high-level discussions will address LNG infrastructure, energy diversification, industrial decarbonisation, and methane abatement — critical themes shaping the future of energy.
Session Lineup
Session 1: Mapping and Delivering the Natural Gas and LNG Infrastructure Required to Meet Demand Growth Scenarios - Wednesday, 10 September 2025
This session will examine how global gas and LNG infrastructure can expand to meet rising demand while aligning with decarbonisation goals. The conversation will cover demand centre mapping, resilient investments, the role of digitalisation, and supply chain optimisation in an increasingly complex market.
Speakers: Brian Essner (Chevron), Thomas Hardy (USTDA), Carsten Poppinga (Uniper), Carlos de la Vega (Sempra Infrastructure), Tiffany Pitts (Baker Hughes), Bhupesh Thakkar (Bechtel)
Session 2: Diversifying the Energy Mix with the Adoption of LNG and Natural Gas to Support a Low Carbon Energy Future - Wednesday, 10 September 2025
Energy systems must balance affordability, security, and decarbonisation. This discussion will highlight the role of LNG and natural gas in complementing renewables, ensuring grid stability, and safeguarding consumers from volatility. Speakers will also consider the infrastructure and investment required to support a more resilient energy mix.
Speakers: Andrew Barry (ExxonMobil), Khalayakorn Suzuki (EGAT), Jane Liao (CPC Taiwan), Cristian Signoretto (Eni/Eurogas)
Session 3: Progressing Industrial Decarbonisation Through Workable Cross-Sector Partnership Models - Thursday, 11 September 2025
Decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, steel, and petrochemicals will require meaningful partnerships that combine technical expertise, financing, and regulatory alignment. This session will explore strategies including electrification, biofuels, circular economy principles, and carbon capture — alongside investment opportunities projected to reach USD 3 trillion by 2030.
Speakers: Dr. Torsten Katz (BASF), Siddarth Malik (Green Investors), Maurits van Tol (Johnson Matthey), Carlo Luzzatto (RINA), Elena Scaltritti (Topsoe)
