The format the organiser describes is analyst research presented alongside panel discussions and interactive sessions, with time set aside for partnership-building between attendees.

What was on the 2026 agenda

The 2026 programme gives a sense of the ground covered:

• whether CCUS is advancing in an uncertain geopolitical and economic climate;
• headwinds and tailwinds for industrial decarbonization;
• whether data centers and hyperscalers can anchor demand for carbon capture;
• post-combustion capture in hard-to-abate industries;
• the outlook for BECCS, direct air capture and other carbon dioxide removal;
• lessons from CCUS project successes and failures.

Speakers in 2026 came from companies including Shell, Chevron New Energies, TotalEnergies, Halliburton, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America and EQT, alongside Wood Mackenzie analysts. Registration questions go to the organiser at [email protected].
