Pre-Conference Seminars

Driven by the fast-evolving regulatory landscape and the more demanding public opinion, there needs to be a paradigm shift on sustainability and decarbonization. While it has been a topic of conversation for many years, it’s time to get it moving. By collaborating, owner-operators, technology providers, and consulting and engineering companies have a great challenge lying ahead to make it happen now.

In this seminar, Wood’s experts will discuss practical solutions to drive the energy & materials industry into a low-carbon future:

• Normalizing sustainable design principles in the engineering phase
• Implementing practical solutions for the detection and minimization of fugitive emissions
• Harnessing value from waste streams to decarbonize existing assets
• Optimizing efficiency and reducing capital cost through innovative tools
• Realizing the full potential of public funding opportunities to enhance project viability and financial return

The sustainability landscape is dynamic and complex, driven by technology developments, shifting regulatory frameworks, profitability, carbon value, feedstock sourcing, and project finance. The result is that each organization is making its own sustainability strategy, complete with a range of solutions potentially including biofuels, biochemicals, low-CI hydrogen, ammonia, CO2 sequestration and utilization, electrification, utility decarbonization, energy efficiency improvements, among others.

During the workshop, Axens discusses its diverse and growing sustainability toolbox, resulting from decades of research, development, and continuous improvement, focused on energy efficiency, digitalization, equipment innovation, and technology.
