30 November–1 December 2022
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Energy & Sustainability Forum
Decarbonising the Downstream Industry
Welcome to ESF Asia - Energy & Sustainability Forum
As the net zero momentum gathers pace, Asia’s refiners and petrochemical producers have started laying the groundwork for the development of their decarbonisation roadmaps, whilst continuing to balance its rising energy demand, population growth, and strive for increased standards of living.
The region’s operators, with their own unique set of challenges presented by the transition, must act now to embrace the opportunities available to reduce both scope 1 and 2 emissions to carbon baseline assets and move up the value chain away from traditional fuels and deeper into petrochemicals, as well as find solutions to reduce Scope 3 emissions and the decarbonisation of its products and supply chains.
Following the success of ESF Europe, North America and MENA, ESF Asia, taking place from 30th November – 1st December in Kuala Lumpur, is the latest in our global series of conferences, firmly cemented as the dedicated regional meeting place for downstream oil & gas leaders to network and knowledge share in the context of decarbonisation and sustainability.
ESF Asia is MUST attend, critical to understanding how Asia’s Downstream sector is responding to the challenges of sustainability and the energy transition!
Whilst we look forward to releasing the agenda very soon, here’s a sneak peak of the sessions that you can expect:
POSITIONING AND PATHWAYS FOR A LOW CARBON TRANSITION - This keynote session will help to prepare Asia’s downstream industry for tomorrow, define its path to decarbonise and manage the increasing demand for low-carbon alternatives.
DECARBONISATION TECHNOLOGIES & ASSET DIVERSIFICATION - As Asia’s producers begin to carbon baseline their assets, this session will showcase the latest re-configuration, conversion and digital technologies to help maximise investments in existing assets, as well as present the opportunities by diversifying and transitioning.
H2 & THE UTILISATION OF CO2 - This session will present and discuss the latest low and zero carbon hydrogen and hydrogen carrier technologies essential to achieving deep decarbonisation targets.
TRANSITION & DIVERSIFY - THE FUTURE REFINER - With significant opportunities in Asia for Renewable, Bio and SAF production to displace conventional fuels, this session will explore the technologies to help maximise the potential for alternative fuel production.
CIRCULARITY - FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY - Presenting the latest technologies to help Asia transition to a Circular Economy through waste (plastics) recycling and conversion technologies.

Our collective view was that it was a great event that was well organised and executed by your team. We really appreciated the efforts of the team to make sure that the 1-1 meetings went ahead to schedule. As a result, we made some new connections and started some hopefully valuable discussions. Must admit it was good to be back in a face-to-face environment!

We look for events where technology companies and operating companies come together to discuss issues and look for solutions. This event hit both of those marks. The number of follow-ups I have from ESF North America are much higher than I have had from other conferences. Thank you for pulling this type of event together.

We have really enjoyed the event. It was great to be at a physical event again especially as it was very well organized. The topics were all relevant to our industry and it was great to see so many participants engaged during the various panel sessions. We also appreciated the one-to-one meetings during the event.
