Decarbonizing the Downstream Industry
I'm Interested in ESF North AmericaPlatinum Sponsors
The 2024 ESF North America:
Energy & Sustainability Forum is coming to New Orleans!
Helping to accelerate North America’s energy transition and the development of a sustainable energy future in which the refining and chemicals industries continue to play a leading role, ESF North America is the only event dedicated to downstream decarbonization and sustainability.
Catalyzing trillions of dollars' worth of project growth and production over the next decade, 2022’s landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has propelled the US as global leaders in the energy transition.
It's no longer a question of IF we should be decarbonizing it's HOW we do it, and do it profitably whilst balancing competing pressures from shareholders, stakeholders, customers, and policymakers to provide a range of options and products that are secure, affordable, and sustainable.
As Peter Drucker said, “The best way to predict the future is to create it”. As we move forward, we need to harness the magic of the industry, and its talent and infrastructure and become collaborators toward achieving our net zero goals.
... and with all that in mind, ESF North America will support the refining and chemicals industry to quickly and profitably reduce the carbon intensity and emissions of its assets, products and processes.

ESF North America 2023 was world-class, the best event we’ve attended this year! Your effort in setting up the meetings was greatly appreciated and an excellent feature of the EPC events.
Chief Commercial Officer, Green Star BCS
Bringing the major refiners, technology providers, and future bio-refiners into the same room creates the environment for a frank exchange of ideas about what can be achieved in decarbonization. Excellent conference.

Insightful and inspiring.
Vice President, Sustainability and Strategic Insights, SOLOMON ASSOCIATES
The event was well-organized and provided a unique platform to connect with industry leaders, experts, and like-minded individuals passionate about sustainable practices. The networking opportunities were invaluable, allowing me to establish meaningful connections and exchange ideas with professionals. I highly recommend this event to anyone seeking to stay at the forefront of energy and sustainability advancements and contribute to a more sustainable world.
Business Development Director, EICHLEAY
ESF North America 2023 was one of the best events I have attended with really valuable conversations. It means a lot to connect in person with fellow operators and vendors who are very relevant to my industry.
Vice President Technical Services, Bakersfield Renewable Fuels
Great discussions on the decarbonisation of downstream and chemicals with a focus on hydrogen and carbon capture at ESF North America. It’s invigorating to be part of this continued energy transition. I’m always amazed at the innovation of industry. It’s interesting to see how the Inflation Reduction Act has shaped these conversations here in San Francisco and how it differs from those I have had in Europe on the same topics. Policy can certainly shift the abatement curve, but I’m also hopeful that we will stay focused on the real problem - climate change. We need to remain focused on innovation to solve this global issue and not lock ourselves into solutions.
